Don’t leave your cake table bare. Incorporate some décor from your event and create a beautiful showpiece.

Some tips for making your cake stand out:

Make sure you use the right size table. The smaller your cake, the smaller the table should be to avoid overshadowing.

Stick with your theme. The cake table will get plenty of attention so it should blend in well with all of the other elements of your wedding.

Spot lighting looks fabulous and gives a very dramatic effect. If you are using a lighting technician or if you can arrange for your table to sit directly under a light you will love the way your cake is highlighted.

Make it personal. If you would like to memorialize a special someone, you can definitely incorporate small items in their honor. Or if you and your groom have a moment in your lives together you want shared, use that as inspiration.

No matter your theme or colors, these days there seems to be a cake for everyone. From ornate and detailed to minimal and bare, take a look at some of the gorgeous deserts we’ve found in every color of the rainbow…with a little extra for those who are just outside the box. Beautiful, perfect, and delicious!

Racy Red- really loving the lily cake

Vibrant Orange- it’s rare to see orange icing, but such cakes are just as gorgeous as those only with the orange accents.

Yellow is perfect for spring and summer. Honestly, there just aren’t enough yellow-featured weddings.

Green works in so many ways it should be considered neutral. Bonus- before this, I’d never seen a cake that reminded me of cuff links.

Blue certainly adds a bit of suave and class. And as you can tell from Cake #2, it does well for cultural events too.

Purple, regal and romantic, remains my favorite color. However, I have yet to find a cake with purple icing that I can whole-heartedly endorse. Let me know if you find one.

Pink will forever be a wedding classic. Cake #1 was modeled after wedding invitations…an idea that I’m sure can be repeated if you want your own signature look.

Black and White works for classy or wild, so you can’t go wrong. Just add a bold contrast color if you want to spice things up.

Mmm, chocolate! I could refer to these cakes as brown, but brown equals chocolate in my mind. Another great neutral, it’s ideal if decadence, indulgence, and sinfully delicious are key words for the big day.

As I was scrolling through the web, I spotted a cake that screamed cute. The cake was your typical stacked and frosted, but interestingly, each tier had a cut out of it. It’s a modern cake straddling the line between whimsy and classic, giving you just enough unique without raising traditional eyebrows. A visit to the creator’s website showed that the designer’s talent went beyond that first example.  So, if you are in the market for a cake, Kory Rollison at the Wedding Cake Art & Design Center certainly offers up some fabulous choices.

What We Like: They list a pricing guide on the website, which gives a clear break down sample in the form of a spreadsheet and an extensive gallery to view the range of their ability. They will also work with you to customize a cake to your specific wishes.

Groom’s cakes are a tradition that allow the hubbyies to express their interests and offer another flavor without intruding on the main cake. I love some of the ideas couples have come up with to really show off their personalities and humor.
