The only thing as sweet (if not sweeter) than weddings is the wedding cake. A wonderfully
conceptualized wedding cake enhances the overall experience of the wedding in so many
different ways – it complements the wedding venue and theme, it makes for great
photographs and it also makes everyone’s dining experience truly lip-smacking. While
creativity is key here, memorable wedding cakes are the ones which marry creativity with
practicality/utility. Here are our top five wedding cake inspirations…
#5 – Flower Power
There’s little room for error when you have floral cake designs. You could choose to keep it
simple and subtle with design or take it to the next level with dramatic yet glorious floral
designs and shades. Why not take it to the next level by blending into the season of the
wedding with tropical, summer or spring based floral designs for your cake. We’re talking
about swirling designs of orchids, entire garden spreads and the like. ‘Tis always the season
for cake!
#4 – Naked and Nice
Now, this might actually be as bold as it sounds. But a bare wedding cake with minimalistic
design, but a more ingredient-based representation might just work things in your favour on
the big day. Naked sponge cakes with basic frosting or even decadent chocolate drizzled
over chocolate cake can do wonders both visually and gastronomically. Top it up with fresh
fruits for an earthy yet sophisticated feel.
#3- Fair and Square
Picture a wedding cake. Chances are that you’re thinking of a tall and yummy figure with
pretty designs on it. Or even a layered one which is towering. On number 3 of our wedding
cake inspirations, we recommend going unconventional – square wedding cakes are sure to
stand out and catch the eye! Top it up with cascading floral designs or even satiate your
inner-OCD with geometrically perfect patterns and hues for a visually brilliant wedding cake.
#2 – Gold Standard
Weddings and all things gold are a match made in heaven. And the same holds true when
you extend your love for the latter onto your wedding cake too. Keep it classy with a
Gatsby-styled gold design or even stay subtle by limiting the shade of gold to specific
elements on the cake. You could always double up gold with hues of black for a luxe and
formal vibe at the wedding. Trust us, gold is your answer to an absolutely stunning wedding
cake design.
#1- Tier in Heaven
And for our top wedding cake inspiration, we decided to welcome and share a design which
2019 brides and grooms are slowly but surely getting on board with…. single-tiered cakes!
We’re talking about so many advantages here – more cake, filling flavours and also budget-
friendly! The only real added element you need to complement single-tiered cakes are cake
stands of different heights to add to the visual appeal as well as overall layout. Consider
incorporating floral designs, or identically designed small cakes which make for a lovely
pattern together.
