Floral Wedding Cakes
Opt for the floral wedding cake design in case you want it to be classy, elegant and perfectly matching the rest of the flower decorations. You can send the photos of the fresh flowers you’re using for the reception or ceremony adornment, and the confectioner will customize the cake for you. To avoid looking too messy, the pastry masters use a white matte base and then add decorations. Such cakes can be absolutely different: one or four-tier, decorated with fresh flowers and greenery or sugar floral decoration with delicate satin petals and soft colors. Either way it’ll always look timelessly wonderful.

Sculptural Wedding Cakes
If you are tired of basic and standard cakes, pay attention to modern sculptural ones. First, you should nail down the form of your future delicacy: round, square or even hexagon. Then, decide about the icing: fondant, meringue or maybe buttercream. Add gold food coloring, three-dimensional edible decoration, chocolate brushstrokes and your wedding cake will be a real piece of art.

Colorful Wedding Cakes
It’s a widely spread problem that creamy and pinkish icing colors don’t match the newlyweds’ nature or the wedding concept. The solution is a bright-colored catchy cake. Don’t hold back your imagination, because the variety of tones, shades and styles is limitless! You may choose a subtle pastel blue, yellow and purple cake, or surprise your guests a black or fuchsia one that will drive everyone crazy. Watercolor styled, mono colored or ombre effect — it’s up to you.

Minimalist Wedding Cakes
Usually, minimalistic desserts are the final option for couples who can’t make up their mind and choose only one style of the wedding cake. Minimalist cakes are versatile and stylish rather than plain or banal. A matte or satin white finishing coat and simple design is all we need. Moreover, the accent here is made on the flavor, filling, fragrant sponge, fresh fruits and sweet memories.

Glamorous Wedding Cakes
It’s difficult to remember something more chic and sophisticated than glamorous cakes. There are some key elements that can be seen in cakes of this style: golden adornment, tiers of varying diameters and gorgeous orchids, roses or peonies cascading down. Though, rustic or boho styled semi-naked cakes can be glamorous too! Just add some fresh fruits, gentle flowers and golden decoration and here it is — your chocolate and marmalade bomb is ready!
