Wedding Cake Ideas: What You Need to Know

From classic and traditional to bold and colorful, wedding cakes are a reception staple that brides, grooms, and guests alike look forward to all night. As delicious as they may be, wedding cakes serve as more than just a sweet treat — they are visual focal points in your wedding design. Whether you choose to incorporate fondant petals that complement the event’s floral palette, or you select an intricate buttercream pattern that mimics the fabric of your dream wedding dress, all eyes will be on you, your new life partner, and your beautiful cake when it comes time to cut the cake.

Wedding cakes provide an opportunity to let your personality shine – from a glam cake coated in edible glitter to a luxurious five-tiered chandelier design, or even a decadent cheese wheel cake, the style you select is an expression of you and your unique identity.

Of course flavor is also a factor, and we love that tastings are memorable parts of the wedding planning process that brides and grooms can enjoy together. Opt for a vanilla and chocolate combination, or choose heavenly red velvet cake. No matter the flavor, make sure to represent your personal favorites.

Cutting the cake is a preserved and treasured wedding tradition. Devise the perfect flavor to playfully smear across your new husband or wife’s face for a timeless photograph, or lean in for a romantic kiss as you symbolically cut the first slice as a newly-married couple. Wedding cakes provide an opportunity to reflect your style and enhance your reception space – find inspiration and professionals here to help you devise your dream confection.
