The More the Merrier What could be better than a gorgeous cake on your dessert table? Three gorgeous cakes, of course! Instead of one larger confection, consider offering multiple cakes in smaller sizes. It'll give you the option to serve more than one flavor, and guests will marvel at your abundant dessert spread.
Add Fresh Flowers Give your cake a garden-fresh look by adorning it with lush blooms in colors that match your palette. Plus:The New Wedding Rules
Shrink it Down These days, couples have been opting out of the traditional wedding cake in favor of bite-sized cupcakes. Elevate them by displaying on a tiered tray, or embellish them with sparkling sprinkles like we did here.
Update a Classic Put a fresh spin on a tried-and-true favorite to make your cake a crowd-pleasing standout. This red-velvet cake is brought to life with ombre layers that range from pink to crimson.
Top it With Candy When arranged in intricate patterns, bright candy embellishments look more like crown jewels than edible treats. This otherwise simple cake is dressed to the nines in colorful jelly bean garlands.
Make it Shimmer A tiered wedding cake with metallic details is equal parts modern and glamorous. This gilded confection was made by pressing rectangles of edible gold leaf onto fondant.
Try a New Material Venture off the beaten path with a "non-cakey" cake. This tall-tiered treat is made with whisper-thin crepes and can be layered with mouthwatering fillings like chestnut, espresso, chocolate, or vanilla cream.
Offer Individual Servings Not quite cakes, and not quite cupcakes, these single-serving treats are fun alternatives to the traditional wedding dessert. Be sure to have small boxes on hand so guests can take home extras.
Choose Chocolate For the decadent dessert-loving couple, an all-chocolate wedding cake is the way to go. This four-tiered confection was drizzled with melted white, milk, and dark chocolate for a variety of sweet flavors.
