What are considered romantic cake designs?
Whether they’re fresh or sugar paste, flowers are a sure way to reflect romance in your wedding cake. Take a stacked white cake and surround each tier with red rose petals, or gather a few individual roses for a fragrant cake topper. Other popular decorating techniques that evoke romance include Swiss dot-inspired piping, basketweave patterns, and cakes wrapped like gifts. Top it off with a dove cake topper, entwined hearts, or a simple monogram. When it comes to color, sheer pastels, such as pinks, yellows, and blues, help create a fairy-tale atmosphere, while an ivory fondant-covered cake remains classically romantic. Crown your wedding cake with a delicate gumpaste garden and edge each tier with an edible version of the bride’s wedding gown lace. > See all photos of wedding cakes.
