A wedding cake is a must-have for any wedding. And there isn’t any wedding celebration without a cake or a cupcake (the couple’s choice, of course), and the same goes for Nigerian traditional weddings.
Cake cutting wasn’t the norm for Nigerian traditional weddings back in the day. But that has changed. Today, cutting a cake during the ceremony is now the modern aspect of traditional weddings, and we love it!
Whether you are an Igbo, Yoruba, Edo, Bini, Hausa, or Efik bride-to-be and preparing for your traditional ceremony, you must consider having a cake. A traditional wedding cake comes in different forms and sizes, and the creativities are endless.
However, the square trunk, pillow or wood effect cakes are the popular cake styles seen at weddings today.
When designing your cake, you should design it to reflect your culture and your fiancé’s. Then again, some couples can create their cake to look like a regular white wedding cake, which is also acceptable. But, whatever you decide, have a cake!
So if you are currently planning your wedding and looking for ideas for your traditional wedding cake, then check out this list of fabulous Nigerian traditional wedding cakes to inspire yours. These cakes are in no particular order and all are beautiful.
