Adorable, Heart
Shaped Wedding Cakes!

-- Heart Shaped Wedding Cakes --

If you and your honey are all about romance, consider pulling the heart-theme right through your wedding!

From heart shaped pendants for your bridesmaids to heart-imprinted napkins, there are loads of way you can add heart style to your wedding day. The ultimate heart style statement? A heart shaped wedding cake!

Twist on Tier

A traditional wedding cake includes three more tiers, stacked one atop the other. Speak to your baker and let him or her know that you want to have tiered hearts instead of the traditional round cakes. The hearts can appear to rest right on top of one another for a classic look. For a more contemporary twist, showcase the layers separately, on a cake stand that allows each layer to stand on its own. Placing the hearts at various angles will add a fun spin to the presentation.

Individual Cakes

Serve your heart shaped wedding cakes in style by presenting each and every guest with their very own miniature heart-shaped cake! Similar to cupcakes, mini heart shaped wedding cakes offer a delicious alternative to the traditional cake slice. Plus, the cakes can be plated and ready to serve in advance, cutting down on wait time! You can still have a slightly larger cake for a cake cutting ceremony, if you wish! Consider having it served to just the wedding party.

Hearty Flavors

If you’re serving up treats in the shape of hearts, chances are you’ll want a flavor to match. Think light, flirty, and feminine! Raspberry or strawberry are the perfect choices, but cherry, lemon, or vanilla are delicious alternatives. If you love dark chocolate you can certainly go ahead with that as well, but if you want to keep the airiness of the heart in the flavor, then go for something a little lighter – perhaps a light mocha or white chocolate.

Do It Yourself

If you plan to create your own masterpiece to serve on your wedding day, either on your own or with the help of a loving family member or friend, you can create a heart shaped cake with your own two hands! It’s actually quite simple. You’ll need a square pan and a round pan. Bake two cakes. Cut the square cake in half – it will form the triangular portion of the heart. Then, cut the round cake in half, and press each half against one of the cut lines of the square cake. Cover up your handiwork with some delicious frosting, and voila! Or, cut your work in half – and pick up a heart shaped pan to begin with! A heart shaped cake is born.

A Hint of Hearts

If you love the idea of hearts but have decided to go with a more traditional cake shape, there’s no reason to totally dismiss the heart motif!
