There is something about fresh strawberries that people cannot resist. If this sounds like you, maybe you need to consider a strawberry cake for your engagement party. In particular, strawberries are going to stand out on a white cake and you can really adorn the icing with fresh strawberries. You can even add cream to go with this theme. Do not be afraid to mix it up and even add other fruit as decoration. This could include raspberries and blueberries. In fact, you can use most fresh fruit for an engagement party cake.

This is going to be a beautiful cake that is modern and captures everyone’s attention. It takes the design of an ordinary cake and you can choose the shape and number of tiers. But instead of having ordinary icing, the cake is going to enjoy a drip effect, which you can create with chocolate or a different color of icing. This is going to create a fantastic contrast that will look delicious. Guests will be excited to receive a slice!

A Heart-Shaped Cake

A lot of cakes are going to be round or rectangular. These are the two common shapes that you will find when you are purchasing one for your engagement party. But if you want to be different, why not select a heart-shaped cake? This is going to be an amazing idea for an engagement party and show the love that you and your partner have for each other. It will look great and make guests love your cake too. You can still choose the size of the cake you would like and design.
