Berry-topped cakes: a fresh
        new take
        It’s not just the wedding wardrobe
        and décor getting the fruity
        treatment! Cherry and berry-covered
        cakes are an increasingly common
        feature at weddings, boasting
        an array of fresh strawberries,
        blueberries and cherries. However,
        these aren’t your classic fruit-topped
        cakes: we’re seeing berry-filled
        cake tops, which not only create a
        stunning visual impact, but also add
        a huge dollop of romance to the
        celebration.
