Square Wedding Cakes
Square wedding cakes have gained in popularity over the last few years. While they still trail their round counterparts significantly, they are the second most popular shape that cakes take in today’s wedding cake world. The couple who chooses a square cake may have a myriad of reasons for doing so. Maybe they just want something a little different. Or maybe a particular design feature that they have chosen works better with a square cake, such as a monogram. Perhaps the couple (or the bride, or the wedding planner or caterer) has a lovely old cake stand to feature, and it just so happens to be square in shape. Whatever reason, square cakes, whether separated by columns, or stacked with tiers directly on top of one another, emphasize the couple’s attention to detail. Round cakes are the default; square cakes must be requested, and for that reason, seem just a little more special.
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!

Chocolate Sampler Wedding Cake
One of the most famous movie lines of all time is “life is like a box of chocolates” and now you can have a wedding cake that is just like a box of chocolates.
Check out this incredible – and rather unique – cake that features a sampler of chocolates on each tier. That’s right – this cake is your very own chocolate sampler box!
Who wouldn’t love this cake?
The cake was made to resemble a box of chocolates – it sits on a ribbon-trimmed board and the icing on the cake was even piped to mimic a box of chocolates. Read More
Present Wedding Cake
Everybody loves getting presents wrapped in pretty paper and topped with a perfectly tied bow, right?
Sure they do! And that’s why I love this pretty in pink wedding cake so much. It’s just so darn cute I couldn’t resist sharing it with you today.
This gorgeous three-tiered confection would be perfect for a smaller wedding, a winter wedding, a spring wedding, or even your bridal shower. Read More
Light Green Wedding Cake
I might have mentioned recently that green isn't a color I often go to, except when it's the holiday season.
However, I am loving this mint green confection and would adore it at any time of the year, holiday season or not.
The color of this cake is so cool and really creates a beautiful cake when paired with the white embellishment and lillies as decoration. Read More
Chocolate Wedding Cake with Fruit and Chestnuts
It's around this time of year when I really start to feel the “Christmas spirit” and so I wanted to find a wedding cake that felt like the holidays.
I think this one comes pretty close.
When I saw this cake with the sugared fruit and candied chestnuts I immediately thought of 'sugar plum fairies' and 'chestnuts roasting by the open fire.'
Another reason I love this cake – it's' chocolate. And we all know you can never have too much chocolate cake, even at a wedding. Read More
Blue and White Wedding Cake
Imagine for a second if your “something blue” was actually your wedding cake!
That would be pretty incredible, especially if you chose something as stunning as this gorgeous blue and white cake.
There's just something about blue wedding cakes that I find intriguing. Every bride should have something blue for good luck on her wedding day so why not make the cake blue? It's certainly not what people are expecting as a wedding cake color. Read More
S’mores Wedding Cake
When it comes to ooey, gooey treats nothing beats s’mores.
The marriage of melted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers is one of the best flavor combinations ever.
Now imagine those flavors in a wedding cake. Tell me that doesn’t sound amazing.
And so, I give you the s’mores wedding cake.
This very modern twist on our favorite childhood treat is a four-tiered graham cake, with chocolate ganache and marshmallows. The Swiss meringue frosting is even “toasted” with the chef’s torch. Read More
Blue Damask Wedding Cake
There is something to be said for an elegant wedding cake. And this damask wedding cake is both elegant and beautiful.
We’ve featured damask cakes here before and each time we do the cake is so incredibly gorgeous that it’s almost too pretty to eat.
I love the color combination on this cake more than anything – it’s what drew me to the cake, more so than the damask scrollwork.The blue and brown work so well together and they’re perfect colors for a late fall or early winter wedding. And with a blue cake, you’ll have your “something blue.” 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
Summertime Lemon Blueberry Wedding Cake
It's official. The end of summer is here and now it's time to start dreaming of fall colors and flavors.
But, before we let summer out of our grasp, I had to share one more summertime-inspired cake with you.
Behold, the lemon and blueberry wedding cake. Isn't it stunning?
I love the square tiers and how the frosting design has a slight basket weave look to it. Read More
