Wedding Cake: 15 Decoration Ideas
Undoubtedly, the most popular decoration in the field of wedding cake design is flowers. However, if floral motifs are not to your liking, the abundance of existing options allows you to choose the decor of the main dessert for every taste.
3D effect
The combination of colorful stripes and polygons on a white background gives the cake a modern touch. To emphasize the visual volume of geometric shapes, such a cake should be placed on a stand, at the level of the guests’ eyes.
Golden apples This design combines several fashion trends at once: simplicity of decoration and the absence of mastic, metallic color, and rustic notes. Moreover, according to Greek mythology, golden apples symbolize love and fertility, so these toppers are relevant for any wedding!
Star pattern A noticeable pattern all over the surface of the cake makes all other decorations superfluous. This decor will appeal to fans of minimalism.
Monogram You can’t think of a more personalized design than the initials of the newlyweds. An experienced pastry chef can create the perfect monogram using special waxed paper as a stencil (or try to draw it on the finished product by hand).
Butterflies Butterflies made of fondant or icing, "dancing" on the tiers of the cake – a truly bewitching sight.
Art Deco Long triangles of different heights made of sugar paste will appeal to those who dream of a Great Gatsby wedding. Of course, such three-dimensional details require a golden color.
Wooden hearts A heart tree topper is a great alternative to a shabby chic wedding decor.
Lollipops Lollipop caramel in the form of precious stones looks very original and unusual. Therefore, if you like to surprise, take a closer look at this idea!
Fruit Ornament The cut of sweet figs contrasts perfectly with the virgin white surface of the cake. This gentle design will definitely suit elegant young couples.
Macaroon Finish Treat your guests to an additional dessert in the form of the popular almond biscuits. It is both beautiful and very tasty!
Gilded accents The golden painting of the middle tier literally makes the cake dazzling: no one can indifferently pass by such beauty.
Berry border Blackberry decor is a very practical choice. A tasty berry can be poured on top or you can make a kind of edging for each tier. This design looks very impressive if the sides of the cake are slightly painted over with blackberry juice.
Polka dots and ombre The ombre technique does not lose popularity. But what if we go in an unconventional way, making the transition of shades not on the cake itself, but on the peas that decorate it? Of course, this variation looks quite advantageous.
Icing roses Do you want a floral decoration without using real flowers? That’s quite possible! With the help of sugar fondant or icing, you can create very pretty patterns that look like real roses.
Crown Recently, thematic weddings in the Rococo style are becoming more and more popular. Crown cake is a great dessert idea for such a “royal" holiday.
