The rustic wedding cake movement

Lately, the idea of having an elegant yet rustic wedding in a vineyard has become increasingly popular.

These cakes are decorated with fruits, flowers, and naturalistic elements that overlade with simplicity and promise divinity.

Experts suggest that the most popular fruit choices for these types of cakes are grapes, figs, berries and pears. Besides being incredibly delicious, they make every cake look like a piece of art.
