There are many accessories, decorative elements, jewels and accessories that come in black shades and can easily embellish a white wedding cake for a more glamorous, glittering and mystical look. Considering the wedding’s character, theme, location, budget and season, you can use black diamonds, crystals, rhinestones, gems, feathers, sequins, seashells, black roses, burgundy calla lilies, etc. But you can always switch the colors and have a predominant black wedding cake with white accents, using whit pearls, beadings, seashells, feathers, roses, peonies, calla lilies, daffodils, freesias or any other decorative elements that can match the wedding cake’s style.

Among the most popular shapes used for black and white wedding cakes are square, round, gift box, diamond, oval or heart shape. Recent pictures of black and white wedding cakes show us that square shapes are the most suitable ones for this type of cake because it can simply add more class, style, elegance, beauty, sophistication, grandeur and glamour.

Use black and white swirl, swag or line accents to make the cake look more abundant and yet chic, stylish and festive. You can beautify the cake with black or white ribbons, edible bows or ropes.

Alternate the colors with each tier of the cake for a more grandiose and magnificent look. Zebra black and white wedding cakes, mosaic or chess black and white wedding cakes are pretty fashionable these days and they make a great choice for funky, sophisticated, original one-of-a-kind weddings.
