We asked It Cakes how you can incorporate summer into your big-day cake

We asked Shenaz Lake-Thomas from It Cakes how you can incorporate summer into your big-day cake.

"Think about where you’ll be holding your reception as the weather can affect the overall appearance of the cake. 

"If you’ve chosen an iced, buttercream, chocolate, naked or semi-naked design, then you’ll need to display the bake in a cool area. If you’re unable to do this, then consider storing your showstopper somewhere cold and bringing it out during the reception.

"Summer produces a variety of beautiful flowers and fruits. Fresh blooms look stunning and will tie in with your theme perfectly.

"Incorporate bright yellows, oranges, pinks and pastels.

"Decorate your creation with textures such as ribbon or lace."
