Elegant brides want elegant cakes! So, how can you ensure that your wedding cake lives up to your expectations?

You need to start with a clear vision of what you want. Then, you need to find a baker who can pull it off seamlessly. And a few decisions along the way will add to the overall elegance of your cake. Here are some tips on how to make sure your cake is absolutely stunning and elegant on your wedding day!

Simple is Elegant

Some of the most elegant cakes that have ever been eaten had one thing in common: simplicity. Smooth fondants can create a flawless image, and by choosing one basic color – and one contrasting color – you’ll create an elegant effect. Cream is a very elegant color, and when paired with one of your wedding colors, such as sage, lavender, or black, it is absolutely stunning!

Scrolls & Flourishes

Your cake decorator can incorporate some royal looking scrolls, flourishes, or even a monogram into your wedding cake design. This will add an air of formality to the cake. Hand sculpted rolled fondant flowers, petals, leaves, and brocades are stunning. Edible pearls, sugar roses, and royal icing detailing will add unique touches that add depth and complexity to the overall look of your cake.

Fresh Flowers

Nothing beats the real thing! Fresh flowers are stunning, elegant, affordable, and add a fresh splash of color to your wedding cake. Fresh berries are another lovely addition!

Presentation is Everything

Choose an elegant presentation and the simplest of wedding cakes takes on an instantly glamorous air! Candlelight will make the most basic cake look luxurious and rich. Flowers add a fresh and festive air. Swags of tulle will decorate any basic table and turn your cake table from dull to delightful in no time at all!

Sophisticated Flavors

Delight your guests by stepping away from classic flavors and adding a little something unexpected to your cake. Artfully presented gourmet combinations will add elegance and flair to your wedding cake! Consider dark chocolate and orange truffle, Grand Marnier, light chocolate mousse, or Bavarian Cappuccino. No matter how discerning your guests’ palates are, they‘ll delight in these sumptuous flavors!

Elegant Cupcakes and Miniature Cakes

Cupcakes are not just for little girls! They are stunning at weddings, and look positively glamorous when they are artfully presented. Talk to your baker to see what sort of toppings they can do to add elegance to your cupcakes: sugar flowers, monograms, and berries are just a few of the options!

Elegant Cake Topper

If you want absolute elegance (and opulence) with your wedding cake, you may need to splurge on your wedding cake topper. But don’t worry – it will be a part of your collection for decades to come! Choose a beautiful porcelain or crystal topper in a timeless design to add a finishing touch to your wedding cake.

An elegant wedding cake is perfect for nearly any wedding reception! It’s important to make sure your cake matches the overall tone of the event – don’t be afraid to opt for something modern, wild, or unique if that is more your style! You can add touches of elegance to any cake.
