Wedding Cake Display Ideas: Styling, Favours & Dessert Tables

Your wedding cake isn’t just a dessert — it’s one of the most photographed parts of your day, a focal point that draws everyone’s eyes (and tastebuds!). It often sits proudly in your reception space, waiting for that special moment when you cut into it together. For many couples, it becomes a symbol of their style, their story, and the joy of the day itself.

But while the cake itself is always the star, it’s the finishing touches that make it truly personal. These small details are what tie your cake into the look and feel of your wedding, ensuring it feels like a natural part of your celebration rather than just something on a table. From edible keepsakes to thoughtful styling, the right touches elevate your cake from beautiful to unforgettable.

At Lulus Primrose Bakery, I love helping couples create those little moments of magic. Here are just a few ways I can bring extra charm and personality to your cake display — so it’s remembered with as much joy as the first slice.

Cake Table Styling

Think of your cake table as the stage where your cake will make its grand appearance. It will feature in countless photos, so it deserves just as much attention as the cake itself. With cake table styling, I can help ensure your cake is displayed to perfection. Fresh seasonal flowers (sourced to match your bouquet), elegant stands, and soft linens can all work together to frame your cake beautifully. We can even add candles or greenery to enhance the overall look. Whether you prefer something understated and romantic or bold and full of colour, styling can transform your cake from “just a dessert” into a centrepiece of your reception.

Your cake deserves to shine — after all, it will feature in so many of your photos! Styling your cake table can elevate the whole look. I can help with fresh floral touches, elegant cake stands, or carefully chosen props that frame your cake beautifully. Whether your style is rustic romance, boho charm, or timeless elegance, these small additions can make a big difference to how your cake is remembered.

A Dessert Table for Everyone

Your wedding cake will always be the centrepiece, but not everyone eats cake at the same time. Some guests may prefer something lighter, while others love the chance to try a little bit of everything. A dessert table is the perfect way to keep everyone happy. From dainty min-cakes to gooey brownies, pastel meringue kisses, or decadently chocolatey rocky roads, I can design a table that complements your cake and adds to the atmosphere of abundance and celebration. Styled with stands, trays, and florals, it becomes more than just food — it’s an extension of your décor and a talking point for your guests.

While your cake will always be the star of the show, sometimes guests love a little extra choice — especially children, or those who prefer to graze throughout the evening. It adds variety, creates a relaxed feel, and ensures everyone finds something they love. Have a browse of our Dessert Table section for ideas and inspiration.

Thoughtful Wedding Favours

Wedding favours are such a lovely way to thank your guests for sharing your day. Instead of something that may get left behind on the table, why not choose something edible and personal? I create hand-decorated biscuits in shapes and designs that tie in with your wedding style — hearts, flowers, initials, or even a miniature version of your cake design. Each biscuit can be personalised with your names, initials, or wedding date. They can be individually wrapped with a ribbon or boxed for guests to take home. Not only do they look gorgeous as part of your place settings, but they also give your friends and family a sweet reminder of your day to enjoy later.

Why not let your cake inspire your wedding favours? They’re the perfect sweet gesture to leave at each guest’s place setting, or to package up as a takeaway treat for later. It’s a simple touch, but one that makes your guests feel truly thought of! Have a look at our Wedding Favour gallery for design ideas and inspiration.

Your wedding cake is more than dessert; it’s part of the celebration, a reflection of your style, and a shared memory you’ll treasure. By adding these thoughtful finishing touches, you can create a display that feels cohesive, personal, and utterly unique to your day.
