Spiced cake is a recipe as old as time with some of the earliest traces of such desserts going back as far as the twelfth century in Egypt and Rome. What better way to capture the timeless nature of love and the warmth of its glow against the backdrop of Fall and Winter than by incorporating spice into your wedding reception? If you want your guests to be completely enthralled by all this season has to offer at your big event, consider choosing a spiced wedding cake, groom’s cake, or other choice desserts to share at your reception.
It is a common misconception that “spiced cake” is limited to strong tones of cinnamon, but spiced desserts can incorporate a wide variety of harvest flavors such as apple, orange, and pumpkin. For those looking for an even cozier flavor pallet that captures the warmth of getting married during the holiday season, there are also caramel-spiced cakes, chai, and flavors like Bourbon spice and buttermilk. Any of these flavors of spice cake taste decadent with cream cheese-based frostings, or frostings with hints of brown sugar, and of course any cake can have fresh fillings of fruit to really captivate the seasonal imagination of all your wedding guests, whether your style is rustic or refined.
Spiced desserts don’t have to be limited to cake options. Fun and unexpected treats like cinnamon rolls, mini pies, mini cobblers, souffles, and bread puddings can weave the flavors of fall into the post-ceremony meal.
