Water Fountain Wedding Cakes

If you want to make a real splash with your wedding cake, add a water fountain! There’s a certain charm to water fountains, and adding a water element to your cake is a fun and elegant way to make your cake that much more unique!

How Does it Work?

Never heard of a water fountain cake? Your guests probably haven’t either, so be prepared for lots of “ooohs” and “ahhhhs.” A small water fountain looks positively fairy-tale like when combined with the romance of a traditional tiered cake. For a water fountain cake to work, the water fountain is typically placed on the bottom layer of the cake (on top of a special support plate). It is well lit and offers a small but eye-catching element of movement to your cake. The tiers are usually separated by columns to create a grand and elaborate cake that will leave enough room in between layers for your fountain. You might place your fountain directly on the cake, or leave one tier empty to hold only the fountain.

Mechanisms

You will need to cover up the mechanical part of your fountain, which can be done using silk flowers. For a natural look, use real flowers, or ask your cake creator to craft something out of sugar to hide anything you don’t want guests to see. Be sure to discuss the logistics of your fountain with your cake baker, and let him or her know all the details (how large the fountain is, how much it weighs, and when you will receive it). If you are ordering your fountain online, it is recommended that you place your order 4-6 months in advance to make sure you receive everything on time.

Add Color!

The water in your fountain doesn’t need to be clear! With a few drops of food color, you can create a magical look that will add a whimsical touch to your cake. Your water can match your color scheme – just a few splashes of green, red, or blue to get the exact color you are looking for!

Staggered & Stunning

Consider serving your cake tiers on varied levels to create a visual presentation that will be pleasing to the eye. Create a shimmering effect by surrounding the cake with candle holders filled with water (dye it to match your fountain water!), and add some small floating candles or floating flowers. This look is all about fairy tales coming true! Some couples even opt to pair this look with a castle-shaped cake to create a theme that says romance, romance, romance.

If you love this look…

Love the idea of a water fall wedding cake? You’re a princess at heart! Make your wedding day special by adding lots of special touches. If you love fountains, consider incorporating it into an overall theme of your wedding day – add a chocolate fountain, a champagne fountain, and feature a fountain illustration on your invitations. For your photographs, head to a local park and do a photo shoot fit for a queen in front of a beautiful water fountain.

Presenting your guests with a dreamy water foundation wedding cake is a lovely way to make a mega-statement with your cake. The water feature will add a hint of glamour to any cake – so go ahead and let it shine!
