11 Killer Wedding Cake Designs

Long gone are the days of the standard tiered, white wedding cake. Today’s wedding cake designs are works of art! 

Your wedding cake design is just another opportunity for you to express your style. Maybe you want to bring in some fresh florals, pick a unique cake topper, or get creative with colored icing. Go for it! Your cake should make guests stop and take notice. It is another way to incorporate your design and convey your story. The trend of alternative desserts at the reception is fun, but nothing beats a beautiful cake. 

And one pro-tip, don’t just make it look pretty on the outside. Your cake should also taste really good. Most bakers offer so much more than just chocolate and vanilla, so don’t settle for average. Think dark chocolate, salted caramel, and raspberry truffle. Let your taste buds dream big! 

With the combination of a killer outside and a delicious inside, you will have a cake that guests won’t forget. 

Looking for some killer wedding cake designs to get your creative juices flowing? Here are a few of our favorites.
