You don’t have to choose a cookie-cutter wedding cake -— make a style statement! From modern designs to romantic flowers and hand-painted illustrations, these cakes are sure to inspire you.
A fitting motif to consider: your wedding gown. An eyelet-inspired design gives this cake character. The girlish fabric takes on a sassy edge when translated into frosting.
This white cake is anything but boring! Layers of hand-rolled fondant create a rippled-wave look—proof that a simple design can make a big impact. A classic cascade of sugar flowers adds a touch of tradition.
Covered in sugar-made pearls and topped with a delicate sugar flower, this Gatsby-inspired cake is sure to turn heads. The asymmetrical stacking of the tiers is a fresh take on the classic construction.
A garden, barn or backyard reception calls for a cake with bucolic beauty. Soft mint icing sets the stage for an eye-catching bouquet of just-picked garden flowers. Gold and pearl details give the cake a touch of glamour and sophistication.
Your cake is kind of like the masterpiece of your day, so why not treat it like a canvas? Pick anything you want (like the design of your invitations) and have it painted onto your cake!
Forgo sugar flowers in favor of an illustrated design. A delicate floral motif is hand-painted onto each tier, making this dessert a real piece of art.
This simple, all-white design is full of frilly texture. Each layer has its own smattering of three-dimensional petals, giving the cake a fanciful look and feel.
Clean lines are accentuated with this sophisticated spin on the chevron pattern. Pearlized fondant is elegantly draped over individual tiers creating a graphic-yet-stately look and feel.
This blue and white modern wedding cake is wrapped in sugar bows and finished off with an edible ink phrase: “All You Need Is Love.” Borrow from The Beatles’s famous lyrics, or choose a favorite line from your vows or a beloved poem for an extra-special touch.
Here’s another artful idea—have the cake itself take on an ombre look. Add texture to tiers (like this layered design) for a more rustic and organic feel. Light shades of yellow and ivory keep this cake looking fresh.
Gold foil isn’t just for stationery—metallics are popping up in everything from paper and shoes to layers of cake. Hand-painted watercolor tiers add a splash of pink and keep the gold from feeling garish. An acrylic “Mr. and Mrs.” topper is a contemporary take on the classic bride and groom.
A piped graphic pattern adds depth and deliciousness to every square tier of this fresh and modern design. The varying sized layers give the cake an unexpected twist on the traditional all-white design.
A classic round cake is the perfect backdrop for pattern and embellishments. Here, the iconic heart is repeated in a Swiss-dot pattern, giving it a fresh look without overpowering the cake’s design. Pops of metallic add glitz!
A stunning wedding cake can be the piece de resistance of your reception. Sweeping lavender sugar roses and pleated ribbons cascade down the side of this five-tier cake. The draped effect is both elegant and awe-inspiring.
Take your classic white cake from simple to chic with an ombre element, like this cascade of teal ruffles. This simple detail adds a pop of color and a playful touch to the design.
