Nigerian traditional wedding cakes provide another beautiful way to represent “naijas” culture, craft and creativity at your engagement ceremony. Many cakes depict some aspect of the bride or groomβs heritage. A Yoruba engagement cake may be decorated with a talking drum, while an Igbo traditional ceremony cake may be adorned with kolanuts. In line with the rest of the ceremony, some of theses cake cultural elements are symbolic.
The cake designs range from simple one layer cakes, to very elaborate structures that serve as wedding decor. Cake designs for introduction ceremonies are usually simpler than those used in the main traditional marriage ceremony, if the two events take place on separate days. Featured below are some ideas to inspire you as you plan your 2023 wedding.

NON-TRADITIONAL WEDDING CAKE PICTURES
Traditional Wedding Cakes typically have cultural elements such as beads, Nigerian fabrics, calabashes, decorative pillows and regal suitcases. In recent times, we have also seen many couples going the untraditional route, and instead opt for classic cakes that are designed to match their wedding decor, wedding colours or wedding theme. Here are some less traditional cake pictures.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your
blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text
for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
