Wedding Cakes

White and black wedding cakes

When you select your wedding cake you have to be careful at every aspect. The design is very important because every design has a different meaning. Round is more of a classical design, hexagonal is a modern one. Flavors are also important. Crazy combinations are for modern couples and standard flavors hide a more classic one. One of the most important things is the color of the cake. White, pink or ivory are thought to be classic colors and bright colors like purple, lime green or yellow are more extravagant. So when you choose every detail for your cake you should be very careful because you will send an important message to your guests.




For example the white and black combination is not a traditional one if you know what decorations to use. This combination says classic but modern too, simple but somehow complex. It is an elegant and divine combination that you can surely use at your wedding. Here are some ideas for white and black wedding cakes that are really exquisite.

You can try a cream or fondant white cake with different decorations. First you can use some shapes and symbols such as ribbons, hearts, dots, swirls, stars, squares. These symbols can be made from dark chocolate. For Christmas for example a great idea is a white cake with some ribbons. It is not a common design for Christmas but you can definitely try something new.

One great idea is to use this combination to a Valentine’s Day. A white cake with chocolate hearts and cupids is romantic. Break the patterns and stray from the red, white and pink and try this. These shapes can be used at what theme you like. The white and black combination is never old- fashioned.

Also you can use angels, stars, leaves, flowers. A white cake with chocolate leaves or branches is quite an exquisite autumn wedding decoration idea. It is special and interesting. Stars or angels are also great for a winter theme. A white cake with some sugar- paste angels will look splendid.

Flowers are great to use as a decoration at every theme. Fresh, artificial or from fondant, chocolate or sugar- paste flowers are a great decoration. Try a three tier wedding cake with chocolate roses. The combination is impressive.

Another idea is to use crazy patterns such as flames or zebra stripes. It is a unique and marvelous decoration you can try. A white cake with black polka dots is lovely and it is quite popular.

Patterns, repeating shapes, scrollwork or monograms are also great decorations to use.

To create even a more awesome effect add some black or white ribbons, pearls or feathers. Use them to surround every tier. They will really jazz up your wedding cake.
