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.
Black and White Cake with Ribbons
I have, over the past year or so, become a fan of non-traditional wedding cakes particularly those that go beyond a white wedding cake.
I love finding cakes that use different hues, whether they’re bright and colorful or more muted black and white.
Which brings me to today’s cake – this lovely black and white cake with ribbons.
It’s another amazing creation from our friends across the pond, Hockleys Cakes and I absolutely love this cake. Read More
Wedding Cake with Crystal Butterflies
Despite the winter wonderland outside my window, I have decided it’s time to embrace all things spring in the hope that there’s a thaw on the way and we’ll see green grass again sometime soon.
As part of this ‘let’s think spring’ movement, I had to find a spring-y wedding cake to share today, and I think I found it!
This lovely light green cake is perfect for a spring wedding! Read More
Wedding Cake with Cascading Flowers
As we’re heading into the week of celebrating all things love and Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share a cake with you that was so romantic it would make you swoon on the spot.
I’m pretty sure this is the cake.
This gorgeous four-tier creation is from Hockleys Cakes in the United Kingdom and they call it the “Blenheim Cake.”
This cake is all about romance and flowers and love, and I adore everything about it.
I love the square tiers on this cake – I’m a big fan of non-traditional shapes when it comes to wedding cakes. (This should come as no surprise, since my wedding cake featured eight heart-shaped tiers!) I think the square tiers give it a nice, modern contemporary feel.
The gorgeous and simple white icing with the pearls around each tier give this cake a dramatic and modern look.
But what I love most is the cascade of flowers down the side of the cake. The bride wanted the flowers to replicate her bouquet – which is a genius idea in my book! Hockleys created these flowers with hand crafted white, pink, and violet sugar roses and other dainty buds.
It’s incredibly romantic, don’t you think?
A big thanks to Hockleys Cakes for sharing this creation with us!

Silver Wedding Cake with Crystal Snowflake Topper
Since it appears that Ol’ Man Winter isn’t going to let go any time soon, we’ve decided to just accept the fact that it’s winter and move on.
And today we’re moving on to this lovely wintery wedding cake.
It’s so pretty that you almost want to love snow again. Almost.
The small wedding cake it lovely on its own with the simple white fondant icing. But when they add the silver filigree piped on to create the scroll work, it takes it to a whole new level of gorgeous. Read More
Crushed Candy Wedding Cake
In my quest to find a wedding cake that was both beautiful and brightly colored, I stumbled upon this lovely confection and just had to share it with you!
It reminds me of this rock candy wedding cake we featured a few years back but I think I like this yellow, sunny cake a little bit more, if only because the color reminds me of sunshine and spring and warm weather.
Admit it – you thought of sunshine as soon as you saw this cake, right? Read More
Magnolia Wedding Cake
Since we're only about a month away from Valentine's Day, I'm starting to look for everything in shades of pink.
And what luck! I found this pretty little gem today.
I love, love, love this pretty pink confection. It's so pink and so romantic and it practically perfect in every way. Read More
Pink Cameo Wedding Cake
I guess I’m feeling fancy this week because I have found yet another incredibly elegant cake for you.
I used to think that I was all about tradition when it came to wedding cakes – white cakes were it. But I have to say I’m really becoming a fan of wedding cakes with color, and this pink cake with cameos is one of my new favorites. Read More
All-White Wedding Cake
We’ve been featuring a lot of very colorful cakes lately, so I thought it would be nice to showcase a cake that was simple and beautiful.
Which brings us to today’s all-white wedding cake.
This ivory tower is a four-tier cake decorated with white chocolate fondant. Yes, that’s right. Even though it’s an all-white wedding cake there’s still chocolate involved!
The white chocolate fondant is elegantly pleated, giving the cake the look of a wedding dress. Read More
Autumn Leaves Wedding Cake
I think it's finally safe to say that fall is (really) in the air!
The air conditioning has been turned off for (hopefully) the last time until next spring, the stores are full of everything pumpkin, and the grass is covered in a carpet of brightly colored leaves.
Which brings us to this stunner of a fall wedding cake.
This cake is perfect for your fall wedding with its simple tiers and stark white icing accented by the single tree branch covered in fondant leaves.
I love the bright, vibrant fall colors of the edible leaves – the orange, yellow, and brown are just stunning and whimsical at the same time. Read More
Teardrop Wedding Cake
While we all know that crying at wedding is expected, your guests might not expect this tear drop cake.
This cake is so original and whimsical that it is going to leave you and your guests smiling all evening long.
I love the simplicity of the design. It's a gorgeous white fondant cake covered with more fondant “tear drops.” Read More
