Simple Wedding Cakes

 

Sometimes simple says it best. You might choose a simple wedding cake because you prefer a minimalist approach, or because you like you like to stick with the basics when it comes to cake, or even because you are interested in showcasing a particularly fancy flower or cake topper, simple wedding cakes never go out of style. The basic, stacked, white wedding cake, frosted in a smooth coating of buttercream or covered in a snowy blanket of fondant, may hide beautiful flavors and colors beneath its exterior – the best of both worlds. Or maybe you and your groom prefer the traditional “white cake, white frosting” approach – or “chocolate cake, chocolate frosting” – after all, simple doesn’t necessarily mean traditional. On the other hand, a simple cake may be the perfect way to showcase a special caketopper or flower that has personal meaning for you. A topper that shows your style or a hobby that you and future hubby share becomes all the more visible when it doesn’t need to compete with a fancy cake. Maybe you have a family heirloom that can nestle atop your cake. Alternatively, some dazzling orchids or floppy peonies may be all the statement that you need to make. A simple cake need not be boring, after all.

Pink Dots Wedding Cake

carnaby

I’m quickly becoming a fan of pink wedding cakes, and this cake covered with tiny pink dots is one of my new favorites.

This four-tier cake is so pretty and delicate, but also fun and whimsical with all those tiny dots in varying shades.

Our friends at Hockleys Cakes in the United Kingdom created this lovely cake (called the “Carnaby”) and it took them eight hours (yes, 8 hours!) to hand pipe the dots onto the icing. Read More

Ribbon Wrapped Wedding Cake

I’ve been showcasing quite a few showstopping (and rather large) wedding cakes lately, so today I wanted to go smaller.

Much smaller. Like a two-tier wedding cake for a small wedding.

I love this cake wrapped with gold ribbon. It’s so pretty and elegant and if you’re planning a small wedding, you still need to have a gorgeous cake. Read More

Neon Wedding Cake

Since we are just days away from the “official” start of the summer season (Memorial Day!), I wanted to find a cake that featured bright and vibrant colors that remind me of summer.

I think this cake fits the bill.

Behold the neon wedding cake!

Can you imagine seeing this very bright and very cheery cake at a summer wedding? Can you imagine having a cake like this at your own summer wedding? Read More

Wedding Cake with Licorice

Truth be told, I’m not a fan of black licorice. If I had to eat licorice I would choose the red (strawberry or cherry flavored) kind.

But, I am a fan of black and white wedding cakes, so this cake embellished with black licorice is a new favorite. (Plus, I could totally not eat the licorice if I had this cake served to me!)

This cake is stunning in its simple elegance – it’s just a stark white wedding cake adorned with black rope licorice and black polka dots created with royal icing. Read More

I am loving this pretty pink cake with hand-piped red roses. It’s so pretty and elegant.

And, believe it or not, this gorgeous and somewhat abstract wedding cake can be a DIY project.

That’s right! If you – or someone in your wedding party – is feeling particularly ambitious, this is a cake that you can create by following a few simple instructions.

I love this cake for a couple of reasons. Read More

Pink Wedding Cake with Poppies

Since your wedding cake is the centerpiece at your reception, it makes sense to pick a cake that will make you and your guests smile.

This super cheerful – and very pink! – wedding cake fits the bill.

I am loving the simplicity of this cake. One tier, pink icing, and fresh poppies.

No muss. No fuss.

This cake would be perfect for a small, outdoor wedding in the spring or summer. It would even be lovely at your bridal shower. Read More

Sometimes all it takes to make a cake stunning is a simple design and some fresh flowers.

Take this cake for example – the icing is simple and the only embellishment is fresh flowers. That’s it.

And it doesn’t need anything else to make it look spectacular. Read More

Roses and Succulents Wedding Cake

I absolutely love roses on wedding cakes.

I’m not sure if it’s because I love roses or because there are so many colors and varieties and they all look stunning on a wedding cake.

But whatever the reason, if there is a cake with roses I’m going to swoon. Read More

Wedding Cake with Green Ribbon and Daisies

It isn’t easy being green, especially when it comes to wedding cakes.

But since we’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day today, I wanted to find a cake that had a little bit o’ green in its design.

I think this cake with the green ribbons and cheery daisies is perfect. The green isn’t too overpowering, and the daisies are such a fun flower that you just feel happier looking at them. Read More

White Wedding Cake with Orchids

As much as I love the trend of colorful cakes that are anything but traditional, sometimes I like to go back to the basics and find a lovely white wedding cake with minimal embellishments.

Today, that is this white wedding cake adorned with fresh orchids.

What I love most about this cake is the simplicity of the design. Read More
