In this episode of Wedding Day Podcast, host Sonja Babich, CEO of Iron Diamond Media, sits down with pastry chef and cake designer Kelsey Ryder of Love More Sweets to discuss wedding cake servings, flavor-forward desserts and how couples can turn their cake into a memorable part of their reception design.After training at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City, Kelsey brought her pastry expertise back home to Omaha, Nebraska, where she combines Midwest charm with the techniques and influences she encountered in New York. She shares how her culinary background shaped her flavor-first approach to wedding cakes, why she considers herself a pastry chef before a cake designer and how her intricate handmade sugar flowers can take several days to create.The conversation also explores what couples should consider when planning their wedding dessert, from starting with a cake tasting and experimenting with unexpected flavor combinations to supplementing a statement cake with kitchen cakes served behind the scenes. Kelsey explains why couples don't necessarily have to make their display cake do all the work—and why treating the wedding cake as both dessert and décor can create a beautiful centerpiece guests will remember long after the celebration ends.Support the showProduced by Dan Riggs Films & Summit Hill Studios summithillstudios.comand Iron Diamond Media irondiamondmedia.com
