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.
Rainbow Cake
As we move deeper and deeper into the dreary, gray months of winter it’s always nice to showcase a cheery and bright wedding cake.
Take this lovely rainbow cake. I love the elegant yet whimsical take on using rainbow colors to decorate the cake.
The cascade of rainbow candy from the champagne glass is so much fun. Read More
Simple One-Tier Chocolate Wedding Cake
I love simple wedding cakes.
And if that simple wedding cake happens to be a chocolate wedding cake that’s even better!
This one-tier chocolate cake would be ideal for a small, intimate reception.
Or it would be great if the bride and groom want to have their own cake while letting the guests enjoy a dessert bar filled with sweet treats like candy, cupcakes, or even mini cakes. Read More
Green and Red Wedding Cake
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here so it seemed like a good day to find a green and red wedding cake!
I love this cake. It’s fun and modern and whimsical. And it would be great for a winter wedding.
The three-tiered cake features bright green icing one the top of the tiers which really makes the cake pop. Read More
Dark Chocolate Wedding Cake
Chocolate cakes as wedding cakes is a trend I can completely support.
I love the idea of serving up something nontraditional – like this dark chocolate wedding cake.
It’s so dramatic and unexpected which makes it perfect!
Of course a cake like this would be great at a winter wedding when it’s cold outside. Read More
Green Wedding Cake with Sugar Flowers
Since we’re inching closer and closer to Christmas it seemed like a good time to feature a green wedding cake.
Today’s cake is a five-tier creation and it is elegant and gorgeous and it would be incredible at a black-tie reception.
While I’m not a huge fan of the color green, this cake grabbed my attention thanks to its unique hue. It’s more lime green than evergreen but the addition of the sugar hydrangeas makes it perfect. Read More
Chocolate Wedding Cake
It’s that time of year when I think about chocolate – a lot.
I love the holiday season for all the sweet treats that are available and if they’re chocolate, that makes it even better!
Which brings me to today’s featured cake. It’s a naked chocolate cake but what stood out most for me was the scalloped icing.
While we know I’m not a huge fan of cakes without icing if you’re going to serve a naked wedding cake it might as well look gorgeous too. Read More
Modern Gold and Black Wedding Cake
Sometimes it’s fun to break from tradition and think outside the cake box, especially if you’re looking for a fun and modern twist for your wedding cake.
Take today’s cake for example.
It has several modern details that make it the perfect cake for your ultra chic and modern wedding reception.
The three-tier cake uses black ribbon to accentuate the tiers, while some fancy detail work makes the bottom tier stand out. Read More
Winter White Wedding Cake
There’s no denying it now – winter is almost officially upon us.
It’s December and that means holidays, cold weather, and snow. But it also means festive holiday weddings!
And to beat those winter blahs you’ll want a stunning winter wedding cake – like this gorgeous cake I’m featuring today. Read More
Naked Chocolate Wedding Cake
I have a confession to make – I love Oreo cookies.
Which is probably why I had to choose today’s wedding cake to showcase. It looks like a stack of Oreos. OK, well it looks like a stack of Oreos to me.
I’ll also confess that I’m not a huge fan of naked wedding cakes. I’m too much of a frosting fan to purposely eat a cake that lacks frosting.
However, this naked dark chocolate cake is really stunning because of its lack of frosting. The white icing peeking out between the tiers adds just the right amount of drama to this cake. Read More
Black and Gold Wedding Cake
Sometimes when looking for wedding cakes to showcase I run across a cake that makes me go “hmmm” and “wow!” at the same time.
Today’s cake is that cake.
I’ll admit I never thought about having a black wedding cake when I was planning my wedding all those years ago. But I can see how it would work when looking at today’s cake. Read More
