Blue Wedding Cakes

The color blue is so intrinsic to a wedding that there’s even a rhyme about it for brides (who often resort to rhymes to remember the eight gajillion details they’re juggling, since no one thinks getting married is a viable reason for a leave of absence from work.)

Where was I?

Oh yes.

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”

Now, what self-respecting bride takes a trip down that aisle without her something blue? But, for the bride who would like to kick up the color factor a little, without rocking the tradition boat too awfully hard, a blue cake may be just the thing.

Whether it’s sky blue, the softest baby blue, or Tiffany Blue, or even electric blue, this cool color is becoming increasingly popular in wedding cake palettes, particularly as an accent hue. We’re seeing satin ribbons around the base of cakes to incorporate that touch of blue, but gum paste flowers on willowy branches also make a startling statement. And paired as part of a hot color combination, with, say, black zebra stripes, or bold, graphic browns, the demure color can take a front row seat in the trendiest of receptions.
