The most beautiful wedding cakes

Wedding trends come and go, but nothing can replace sweet inspiration that satisfies both our taste and sense of beauty. In this selection, we have collected photos of the most beautiful wedding cakes, each of which can become a true decoration of the festive table.

30. Elegant Tiered Cake

30There is no rule that says a wedding cake must have only round tiers. Playing with different shapes can make a classic confection even more original.

29. White and gold cake

29This culinary masterpiece looks luxurious and not too gaudy. Imagine yourself, dressed in one of the most beautiful wedding dresses in the world, cutting this magnificent cake with your chosen one. Pretty picture, right?

28. Textured Cake

28One of the most beautiful wedding cakes has an interesting textured surface that will make your guests come closer to get a good look at the cake before they eat it.

27. Cake with sweet flowers

27Dozens of realistic-looking flowers transform a plain white cake from rather plain to stunningly elegant. Careful balance of shades and clean white tiers prevent the cake from looking too overloaded with flowers.

26. Cake with a cascade of orchids

26How to add sophistication and extra volume to a plain white cake? With a flower cascade, of course!

25. Lace Sophistication

25This cake looks like it's wrapped in the finest lace. Its creator, Zoe Clark of Zoe Clark Cakes, was inspired by lace fabric samples from the 1970s. It's a shame to touch such beauty.

24. Floral maximalism

24Such a richly and brightly decorated wedding cake will be an interesting match with an unusual wedding dress.

23. Cake with gold accents

23This is a stunning geometric cake that features the metallic colors that are popular in 2019.

22. Black and gold cake

22Frankly, it is an unusual choice for a wedding table. On the other hand, such a cake will be remembered by your guests for a long time, even if the wedding itself is forgotten over time.

21. Infantile elegance

21Bright colors and cute shapes make this square wedding cake charming and a little childish.

20. Blue and gold cake

20It doesn't look as gloomy and strict as the black and gold version, and the cool blue color contrasts interestingly with the rich red flower.

19. Pastel Petals

19The three-tiered wedding cake features a classic white background that perfectly highlights the elegant flowers.

18. Multicolored perfection

18This carefree design proves that even the right petals can have a big impact on the entire arrangement.

17. Cake in purple tones

17Purple is a rare color on wedding cakes. Even rarer is it dominant, and even rarer is it so organic and beautiful as on this gorgeous creation of a confectionary genius. Of course, without the light "drapery" and flowers the impression would not be so positive.

16. Illustrated Cake

16Why not treat your cake as an artist's canvas? Choose whatever you want (like your portraits) and make your festive confection completely unique.

15. Optical illusion cake

15The illusion of cake on this unique wedding cake is as clever as it is intricate.

14. Cake with lace

14A stunning 1960s wedding dress was the inspiration for this ivory cake, decorated with intricate white lace.

13. Cake with golden butterflies

13This cake will not only be the king of the wedding table, but also an excellent gift for a golden wedding.

12. Cake with Chinese patterns

12The design of such a beautiful cake is inspired by traditional Chinese dresses qipao. A great option if your wedding is decorated in an oriental style.

11. Cake with lilies of the valley

11There is no flower more suitable for a spring wedding than the lily of the valley. It is a symbol of purity, and there is a belief that on a quiet moonlit night the Virgin Mary in a wreath of lilies of the valley will appear to the one who is destined for unexpected joy.

10. Sweet Skyscraper

10This giant wedding cake has everything from glitter to figurines, flowers and even buildings, making it luxurious and special.

9. Neon Cake

9Enough of boring white! For a bright and original wedding, only a multi-colored cake is suitable. For example, like the creation of pastry chef Michelle Maric of Sugablossom Cakes in Australia. She created her masterpiece inspired by the colors of ripe citrus fruits and raspberries.

8. Cake with daisies

8Even such a modest and inconspicuous flower as a chamomile can become a desired decoration. Especially if there is a whole bouquet of them, handmade from sugar.

7. Decadence style cake

7Channeling the decadence of the French queen Marie Antoinette, the cake features sugar paste pearls and delicate icing designs. Each tier has been designed in its own unique style.

6. Winter wedding cake with pine cones and berries

6The simple two-tier cake is decorated with clusters of sugar flowers and foliage. The pastry chefs paid special attention to detail: incredibly realistic-looking silver brunia berries and frosty miniature pine cones. The design perfectly conveys the romance of a magical winter wedding.

5. Black and white cake

5The austere design of this cake is contrasted by playful bows adorned with two glittery (non-edible) brooches on the top and bottom tiers.

It's easy to imagine this cake in an elegant ballroom or a historic mansion, right?

4. Cake a la "Autumn in the village"

4If you're throwing a fall wedding, it's a fitting end to the day with the cutting of this stunning wedding cake. Smooth, fondant-covered tiers are topped with a cascade of leaves, and the branches are ablaze with autumnal hues (and don't miss the tiny bird sculpture on the top tier!) The tree stump is edible, too, by the way.

3. Cake a la “lamp” from Tiffany

3You know, of course, that you shouldn't try to shove a light bulb into your mouth unless you want to go to the surgeon later. But this light bulb is completely edible, and will fit perfectly in your mouth. In pieces, of course.

This elegant cake was inspired by Tiffany glass lamps and the hand painted design has a beautiful stained glass effect.

2. Mint Green Ruffle Cake

2To create this cake, pastry chef Faye Cahill of Faye Cahill Cake Design covered three tiers in smooth pastel green fondant, then topped each layer with romantic cascades of sugarpaste ruffles.

1. Cake a la "solar system"

1They haven't learned how to hold weddings in space yet. Well, no problem! Let space come to us. At least in the form of a miniature solar system on the most fantastic wedding cake that exists in this galaxy.

Wedding Cake Pairing Ideas with Wedding Decor

The most beautiful wedding cake can ruin the impression of the wedding if it categorically does not match the overall style of the wedding decoration. And in order not to be unfounded, we will not only tell, but also show which cakes are best for a certain style of wedding.

For bohemian brides

3132A delicate floral green or beige cake decoration with a floral pattern will emphasize the elegance and grace of your outfit, as well as the aesthetic decoration of the festive table.

For a wedding in a modern style

3334In this case, bold geometric and abstract details such as repeating tile patterns, hexagonal tiers or triangular embellishments will be appropriate.

For a classic wedding

3536Traditional white is not the only option. Hand-painted watercolors, sweet flowers and delicate lace all emphasize the tenderness, fragility and beauty of the bride.

For an outdoor wedding

3738If your wedding ceremony is not held indoors, take inspiration from nature. For example, you can decorate the cake with a garland of fresh flowers or small seashells.

For different seasons

39404142Seasons can also serve as a source of inspiration.

  • Light pastel flowers are the standard for spring style.
  • Fresh greenery or citrus tones are appropriate in the summer.
  • Rich earthy tones are good for a fall event.
  • And icy blue and white details are perfect for a winter wedding.

Celebrity Wedding Cakes

Movie, sports and show business stars usually have big weddings. And the cake should meet the expectations of the guests and the status of the bride and groom. In other words, it should be beautiful, big and unique.

Let's take a look at the most beautiful cakes that shone (albeit briefly) at the weddings of famous couples.

Cake by Alexander Radulov and Daria Dmitrieva

43Since Alexander is a famous hockey player and Daria is a gymnast, their cake is sporty. It is made in the theme of Ancient Greece - the birthplace of the Olympic Games.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Cake

44One of Hollywood's most beautiful ex-couples chose an elegant cake with a floral frame for their wedding. Incidentally, the wedding cost Cruise $2.5 million.

Prince William and Kate Middleton's Cake

45Tiered cakes are a common feature at royal weddings, and Queen Victoria deserves credit for this tradition in the British royal family.

The top tier is reserved for the newlyweds. It is to be eaten at the christening of their first child. William and Kate did not go against tradition and saved the top tier of their cake until the christening of Prince George of Cambridge.

Donald Trump and Melania Knauss's Cake

46In 2005, at the wedding of then-US President Trump and the beautiful Melania, guests were presented with a delicious Grand Marnier cake. It was one and a half meters high.

Other aspects of the wedding were also in keeping with the occasion. For example, the 12-carat Graff engagement ring cost $1.5 million. And Melania's Dior gown was adorned with some 1,500 crystals, which took the house's staff 550 hours to sew.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries cake

47This is a case where choosing a wedding dessert was more careful than choosing a future spouse. The couple only lasted two years together. At least their cake was great.

Evgeni Plushenko and Yana Rudkovskaya's cake

48The famous Russian figure skater and socialite tied the knot in 2009. The large number of guests required a massive cake, which was two meters high.

Tony Parker and Eva Longoria's Cake

49This vibrant cake featured five tiers of bright red roses and was filled with raspberry jam and white buttercream.

Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting's Cake

50"Why did you decide to end the cake selection with a chandelier?", a reader might be indignant. And we will answer: "Because it is not a chandelier."

At first, the plan was to simply lower the chandelier to the floor and place the cake on top of it. However, pastry chef Kimberly Bailey then decided to slightly raise the chandelier and attach the cake to it. To implement their boss's original idea, the team had to repeatedly visit the hardware store and even put sandbags on the chandelier to check whether it could withstand the heavy weight. As you can see in the photo, the chandelier passed the test with flying colors.
