Something old, something new, something borrowed – something blue!

Blue Wedding Cakes

If your cake is your “something blue” you’ve chosen a sophisticated, stylish cake to match your elegant wedding day. It doesn’t have to be blueberry madness – these days bakers are taking advantage of easy-to-work-with cake “finishing” methods that can leave a pale blue sheen, a rich blue topping, or amazingly intricate blue “lace” or embellishments.

Thinking blue? Read on!

A Modern Twist

Brides everywhere are adding unexpected splashes of color to their big days. From colored wedding gowns to bright table displays, the fun doesn’t end at the cake! One of the most contemporary and of-the-moment spins is to add color to the traditional white wedding cake.

A Tint of Blue

Buttercream frosting is one of the most popular ways of icing a cake – and with its luscious taste and sinful texture, it’s no wonder why!

Cake decorators love how easy it is to color, and it always wins the vote for “best tasting” frosting. Fondant is another way of icing the cake – think glossy, decorative cakes with elaborate designs. Fondant is actually draped over the cake, and then molded to fit its form. It is also quite simple to color and work with – but watch out, as it’s not known for being the most delicious frosting (which can be easily rectified by adding a delectable butter cream center!). Gumpaste can be used to create any sort of decoration you can imagine. Cascading blue callas, blue gumpaste grapes, and realistic looking forget-me-nots are just a few of your options.

Blue Accents

Your wedding cake is an extension of your theme – so be as dramatic or subtle as you want! Blue Wedding Cakes Painted buttercream cake can create a water-like effect – perfect for the sea-loving couple! White cakes look stunning when paired with elaborate blue detailing, as do cream or yellow based cakes. Piping can add dimension and grandeur to your cake as well – ornate designs, floral patterns, butterflies and stripes are all lovely options. Blue sugar bands can separate your layers, or have your cake decorator create white sugar flowers on a blue-based cake.

Blue and Brown

Blue and brown together is one of the most popular wedding color combinations there is! Modern and stylish, this unique color combo is absolutely stunning and perfect for a wedding behind held at any time of the year! If these are your wedding colors, your cake will be gorgeous – combine rich chocolate ganache, cake, or truffle filling with a stunning layer of blue fondant that will awe you – and your guests!

Any Shape You Like

Your wedding cake doesn’t need to be a round tiered concoction! For a regal looking, have an intricate, highly structured octagonal cake. Black and White Wedding Cake Square cakes are popular as well. Brides with a playful side may opt for a whimsical topsy-turvy cake, which is designed to look as though the tiers are piled up on top of each other – and could fall over at any second (don’t worry, they won’t!). Combined with bright blues, aqua, and lavender, this creates a unique and fun wedding cake! Add silver or gold accents for a sophisticated spin on tradition.

Adding your “something blue” to your wedding cake is good luck, easy to pull off, and visually stunning. Having a winter wedding? Choose silvery blues or deep hues. For spring and summer weddings, brighter colors are a hit. In the fall, you may want to choose natural colors such as brown or cream to salute the season. No matter what time of year you choose to say your vows, you’ll be saying “wow” when it comes to your wedding cake!

Enjoy!
