Modern Wedding Cakes
The term “modern wedding cake” may mean different things to different people. Here at A Wedding Cake Blog, we take the term to mean anything with a contemporary feel; a cake that eschews the traditional white on white, piped and buttercreamed and trimmed with swags or roses. Modern may refer to a bold use of color, or a contemporary decor or shape. It may also refer to choosing something other than the grand, traditional tiered cake – a cake of macarons, for instance, or an assortment of individual cakes. Modern means that you are updating the tradition: perhaps you aren’t entirely throwing it out. You’re just giving it a breath of fresh air.
Red Polka Dot Wedding Cake
I am a huge fan of all things polka dot. There is something so fun and yet classy about those polka dots.
Plus, it’s fun to say (and type) polka dot. 😉
While my favorite polka dot combo is black and white, I am loving today’s wedding cake featuring red and white polka dots! Read More
Lace Wedding Cake
Lace-inspired wedding cakes are a trend I could definitely get behind, especially for summer weddings.
I love the idea of incorporating lace into the design of one’s wedding cake.
You could even take a sample of the lace from your wedding dress and have the design appear on your cake. Read More

Wedding Cake and Cupcakes
I love the idea of serving cupcakes at a wedding reception.
They’re fun and functional. And everyone loves cupcakes!
But what if you want to serve cupcakes but still have a traditional wedding cake to cut too? Simple – serve both!
This is a fun concept – have a small, one tier wedding cake as the “main” cake – basically for the couple to cut – and then surround it by gorgeous cupcakes. Read More
Multi-Tier Unfrosted Wedding Cake
Today I’m showcasing another naked, unfrosted wedding cake simply because it’s like nothing I’ve seen before.
Not only is it part of the whole “naked wedding cake” trend that just keeps hanging on (what do you have against frosting??) but look very closely at the cake.
Do you see what I see?
Yep! That’s right! Star Wars Lego figurines.
That. Is. Awesome. Read More
Wedding Cake with Sprinkles
We’re halfway through summer and I’m still loving wedding cakes with sprinkles!
I don’t know what it is about these cakes – other than they are fun and whimsical and sometimes even elegant. And, they’re totally not what you think of when you think “wedding cakes.”
After all, sprinkles are the kind of thing you find on a child’s birthday cupcake.
But I am loving this trend and I hope it sticks around. Read More
Red, White, and Blue Wedding Cake
Happy Fourth of July!
While I hope you’re enjoying a family cookout and lots of fireworks, it seemed only appropriate to showcase a patriotic red, white, and blue wedding cake today!
I love the abstract look of this cake. It’s modern and fun with that all-American vibe thrown in for the holiday. Read More
Summer Wedding Cake
Strangely enough (or maybe not so strangely considering my love for all things warm and tropical) I adore flamingos.
Yes, they’re odd looking – tall, pink birds – but they make me think of warm climates like Florida. Which makes me think about summer.
So it seems only fitting that I am in love with this summer-themed cake, made complete with the addition of adorable flamingos. Read More
Naked Wedding Cake with Pink Peony
Sometimes, less is better.
For example – when it is 95 degrees outside with 1 million percent humidity, it’s better to be in a bathing suit than a business suit. Less is better.
The same can be said of wedding cakes. When it’s hot and humid outside sometimes the last thing you want is a wedding cake with a whole bunch of icing. Read More
Naked Chocolate Wedding Cake
Right now it is full-on strawberry season here in the Midwest. It’s actually a rather short season as “fruit seasons” go, but we take full advantage of it, enjoying all things strawberry for a few wonderful weeks.
And one of my favorite things has to be chocolate-covered strawberries. There’s just something so decadent about that combination.
Which is probably why I’m loving today’s cake. Read More
Sprinkle Wedding Cake
And it’s time for another sprinkle wedding cake! I can’t help myself – I’m totally in LOVE with these cakes.
I can’t explain my obsession with wedding cakes adorned with sprinkles. They’re just so fun and whimsical yet still with an air of elegance.
And I’m in love with today’s cake thanks to the subtle yet colorful cascade of jewel-toned confetti sprinkles and the golden ‘LOVE’ cake topper. Read More
