Wedding trends come and go, but nothing replaces sweet inspiration that satisfies both our taste and our 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
There is no rule that says that a wedding cake should only have round tiers. Playing with different shapes can make a classic confection even more original.
29. White and gold cake
This culinary masterpiece looks luxurious and yet not clumsy. Imagine how you are dressed in one of the the most beautiful wedding dresses in the world, cut this magnificent cake together with the chosen one. Nice picture, huh?
28. Textured cake
One of the prettiest 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
Dozens of realistic looking colors transform a plain white cake from pretty simple to stunningly elegant. The careful balance of shades and clean white tiers keep the cake from looking too crowded with flowers.
26. Cake with a cascade of orchids
How to add sophistication and extra volume to a regular white cake? Of course, with a flower cascade!
25. Lace sophistication
It seems that this cake is wrapped in the finest lace. Its creator, Zoe Clark Cakes' Zoe Clarke, was inspired by 1970s lace fabrics. It's even a pity to touch such beauty.
24. Floral maximalism
Such a richly and brightly decorated wedding cake will be interesting to combine with unusual wedding dress.
23. Cake with gold accents
This is a stunning geometric cake that comes with the popular 2019 metallic colors.
22. Black and gold cake
Frankly speaking, a non-standard 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
The vibrant colors and cute figurines make this square wedding cake adorable and a little childish.
20. Blue-gold cake
It does not look as gloomy and strict as the black and gold version, and the cool blue color contrasts interestingly with the rich red color.

The three-tiered wedding cake has a classic white background that perfectly sets off the elegant flowers.
18. Multicolored perfection
This carefree design proves that even the right petals can have a big impact on the entire composition.
17. Cake in purple tones
Purple is rarely seen on wedding cakes. Even less often it dominates, and very rarely does it look so organic and beautiful as on this chic creation of the confectionery genius. Of course, without the light "drapery" and colors, the impression would not be so positive.
16. Illustrated cake
Why not treat your cake like an artist's canvas? Pick whatever you want (like your portraits) and make your holiday pastry completely unique.
15. Cake-optical illusion
The illusion of a cake on this unique wedding cake is as ingenious as it is complex.
14. Cake with lace
A stunning 1960s wedding dress was the starting point for this ivory cake decorated with intricate crisp white lace.
13. Cake with golden butterflies
Such a cake will become not only the king on the wedding table, but also an excellent gift for a golden wedding.
12. Cake with Chinese designs
The design of such a beautiful cake is inspired by traditional Chinese qipao dresses. A great option if your wedding is decorated in an oriental style.
11. Cake with lilies of the valley
There is no flower more suitable for a spring wedding than a lily of the valley. It is a symbol of purity, and there is a belief that on a quiet moonlit night, the Mother of God in a wreath of lilies of the valley will appear to the one who is destined for unexpected joy.
10. Sweet skyscraper
This huge wedding cake has everything from sequins to figurines, flowers, and even buildings, making it luxurious and special.
9. Neon cake
Enough boring white! For a bright and original wedding, only a multi-colored cake is suitable. For example, such as the creation of pastry chef Michelle Marik from Sugablossom Cakes in Australia. She created her masterpiece inspired by the flowers of ripe citrus fruits and raspberries.
8. Cake with daisies
Even such a modest and inconspicuous flower like chamomile can become a welcome decoration. Especially if there is a whole bouquet made by hand from sugar.
7. Decadence cake
Conveying the decadence of the French queen Marie Antoinette's era, the cake features sugar-paste pearls as well as delicate icing patterns. Each level has been designed in its own unique style.
6. Winter wedding cake with pine cones and berries
A simple two-tiered cake decorated with bunches of sugar flowers and foliage. At the same time, 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
The austere design of this cake contrasts with the playful bows adorned with two shiny (inedible) brooches on the top and bottom tiers.
This cake is easy to imagine in an elegant ballroom or historic mansion, isn't it?
4. Cake a la "autumn in the village"
If you are hosting an autumn wedding, then cutting this wonderful wedding cake will be a worthy end to it. The smooth fudge-covered tiers are topped with a cascade of leaves, and the branches glow in autumnal tones (and watch out for the tiny sculpted bird on the top tier!) By the way, the tree stump is edible too.
3. Cake a la "lamp" from Tiffany
You, of course, know that you shouldn't try to stuff a light bulb in your mouth if you don't want to go to the surgeon later. But this lamp is quite edible, and will fit perfectly in the mouth. Piece by piece, of course.
This elegant cake was inspired by Tiffany glass lamps and the hand-painted design has a wonderful stained glass effect.
2. Ruffle Mint Green Cake
To create this cake, Pastry Chef Faye Cahill of Faye Cahill Cake Design coated three tiers with smooth pastel green fondant and then topped each layer with romantic cascades of sugar paste frills.
1. Cake a la "solar system"
Weddings in space have not yet been learned. Well, it doesn't matter! Let the cosmos come to us. At least in the form of a miniature solar system on the most fantastic wedding cake in this galaxy.
Ideas for combining wedding cake with wedding decor
The most beautiful wedding cake can spoil the wedding experience if it does not go well with the overall style of wedding decoration. And in order not to be unfounded, we will not only tell, but also show which cakes are best for a particular wedding style.
For bohemian brides
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 modern wedding
Bold geometric and abstract details, such as repeating tile patterns, hexagonal tiers, or triangular embellishments, are appropriate here.
For a classic wedding
Traditional white isn't the only option. Hand-painted watercolors, sweet flowers and delicate lace - all emphasize the tenderness, fragility and beauty of the bride.
For outdoor wedding
If your wedding ceremony is not organized indoors, take inspiration from nature. For example, a cake can be decorated with a garland of fresh flowers or small seashells.
For different seasons
The seasons can also be a source of inspiration.
- Light pastel flowers are the standard for spring style.
- Fresh greens or citrus tones are appropriate in the summer.
- Saturated earthy are good for an autumn event.
- And the icy blue and white details are perfect for a winter wedding.
Celebrity Wedding Cakes
For movie, sports and show business stars, weddings are usually held on a grand scale. And the cake must meet the expectations of the guests, and the status of the bride and groom. In other words, it must be beautiful, large and unique.
Let's take a look at the most beautiful cakes that shone (albeit for a short time) at the weddings of famous couples.
Cake Alexander Radulov and Daria Dmitrieva
Since Alexander is a famous hockey player, and Daria is a gymnast, then they have a sports cake. It is made in the theme of Ancient Greece - the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes cake
One of the most beautiful ex-couples in Hollywood chose an elegant cake with a floral frame for her wedding. By the way, the wedding cost Cruz $ 2.5 million.
Prince William and Kate Middleton cake
Tiered cakes are often seen at royal weddings. And for this tradition in the royal family of Great Britain it is worth honoring Queen Victoria.
The newlyweds keep the upper level for themselves. It must be eaten at the baptism of their first child. William and Kate did not go against tradition, and kept the top layer of their cake until the baptism of Prince George of Cambridge.
Donald Trump and Melania Knauss cake
In 2005, at the wedding of the then not yet US President Trump and the beautiful Melania, the guests were presented with a delicious Grand Marnier cake. It was one and a half meters high.
There were other aspects of the wedding that matched him. For example, a 12-carat Graff engagement ring cost $ 1.5 million. Melania's dress from Dior was adorned with about 1,500 crystals, which were sewn in 550 hours by the employees of the fashion house.
Kim Kardashian and Chris Humphries cake
The case when choosing a dessert for a wedding was more careful than choosing a future spouse. The couple lasted only two years together. Well, at least their cake was wonderful.
Cake Evgeni Plushenko and Yana Rudkovskaya
The famous Russian figure skater and socialite tied the knot in 2009. For a large number of guests, a massive cake was required, the height of which was two meters.
Tony Parker and Eva Longoria cake
All five tiers of this brightest cake were covered with bright red roses. It was filled with raspberry jam and white buttercream.
Kaley Cuoco & Ryan Sweeting Cake
“Why did you decide to complete the selection of cakes with a chandelier?” The reader may be indignant. And we will answer: "Because this is not a chandelier."
Initially, it was planned to simply lower the chandelier to the floor and place a cake on top of it. However, then pastry chef Kimberly Bailey decided to slightly raise the chandelier and fix the cake on it. To realize the original idea of their boss, the team had to repeatedly go to the hardware store, and even put sandbags on the chandelier to check if it could withstand a lot of weight. As you can see in the photo, the chandelier has passed the test with flying colors.
