How To Decorate A Wedding Cake

You can never go wrong with a classic, tiered white wedding cake. However, if you have decided to have a colored one, it’s no issue either. The best way to make it your own is to embellish it with elements of your preference.

There are several creative ways on how to decorate a wedding cake.

Creative Ways To Decorate

Embellishments or decorations give character to a cake. A beautifully-decorated wedding cake can be a showstopper in your reception.

Draw Inspiration From Your Bridal Dress

To transform your tiers, draw inspiration from your very own wedding dress! If you have a lacey dress, put edible laces around your tiers. If you got a beaded dress, cover your wedding cake with edible pearls.

Will you be wearing a sparkly dress for the big day? Sprinkle your cake with edible glitter to make it shine! Remember to choose hues that will complement your wedding’s theme.

Draw Inspiration From Your Love Story

Did you meet in an airport or on a beach holiday? Do you share the same hobby or interest? You may make creative touches to your cake using significant things that bind you as a couple.

Add Blooms

Flowers are common yet beautiful additions to a white or colored wedding cake. With flowers, there seems to be no limit to designing because they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors!

To decorate, you may use fresh edible blooms or faux flowers.

• Edible Flowers
  
  Edible flowers make great decorations for naked cakes. Some flowers are edible; hence, they are very safe to incorporate on your cake. Among the list of edible flowers are roses, violas, pansies. Check for edible flowers in certified flower farms or online local growers. Be cautious of using highly toxic flowers, especially if you plan to place them directly on your wedding cake.
  
  Press colorful edible flowers to your tiers and see how it will glow up.
  
  
• Faux Flowers
  
  The best thing about faux flowers is that you will be able to make replicas of rare blooms, especially of those that are not available in your area. Easily insert wire stems into the cake to decorate. Make sure that the material does not come into direct contact with the cake.
  
  

Use Modern Elements

If you like a modern vibe to your cake, put geometric elements in metallic hues. Gold is a classic option. Another option is to print eccentric patterns and spray-paint the fondant. You may also ask your baker to pipe these patterns on your cake.

To soften the vibe, incorporate flowers with muted colors.

Hand-paint Your Cake

Get inspiration from your favorite fabric design or wallpaper. Have your baker print a pattern and hand-paint the fondant. If you can, do it yourself to make it extra special.

Go Tropical

If you are getting married in the tropics or during the summer, have a tropical wedding cake. Use tropical blooms, fruits, and leaves. Enjoy the burst of colors!
