Adinkra Cakes
April 3, 2012
C is for Cake and that good enough for me! With wedding season approaching I decided to share some beautiful cakes that I have come across on the web! What is so wonderful about including Adinkra symbols on your wedding cake is that the symbols each have meaning so you can choose the several that are true expressions of the couple!
Some of the common symbols used for weddings include:
NYAME NTI -which represents by Gods Grace – it is a symbol of trust and faith in God
OSRAM NE NSOROMMA – The moon and the star which is a symbol of love, faithfulness and harmony.
AKOMA – the heart – symbol of patience and tolerence
And here are two lovely Birthday Cakes highlighting Adinkra symbols!
This is why I love the symbols so much – each has great significance and speaks to us beautifully and boldly!

Candace – so glad you enjoyed the cakes too! I think the artistry is amazing! I am planning to have one made for my 20th wedding anniversery (quite a ways off though)
Thanks for stopping by!
