15 Wedding Cakes to Inspire Your Sweetest Detail

Our favorite type of wedding cake is the kind that makes a statement by adding to your wedding décor and showing off your personality. As fun as it is to look at pretty pictures of unique wedding cake designs, it's actually really helpful too. You'll start to recognize wedding cake details that you like (and a few things you don't). We love that our couples have had super decadent cakes and simple ones too. Here’s 15 of our faves that are sure to get your mind spinning about your cake style.

  1. Blue Watercolor

    Dibartolo Bakery created a stunning cake that makes us want to head to the beach. Instead, we devoured its 4 layers and danced the night away!

2. Gold Elegance

Cescaphe Cakes balance of gold flecking and frosting had us wondering if the inside tasted as good as the outside looked.

3. Naked Simplicity

Who says a cake has to be frosted? Or even has to be 3 feet tall? Cake Life Bake Shop delivered a simple cake that packed a LOT of flavor for this couple, who also provide their own cake dome to, well, top it off.

4. Black and Gold

This couple’s black and gold theme carried into dessert as their cake baker, Desserts by Dana, leveraged a lot of black frosting to create this incredibly unique and classy look.

5. Rustic Chic

Fall weddings are a fave, and if you’re going full on PSL style, why not have your cake play the part too, like this birch-tree inspired design by Cakes By Kim.

6. No Cake at All

We’ll never say no to a cupcake. Not into triple layers? Offer guests multiple grab-n-go options like these cupcakes by Dia Dolce Cupcakes.

7. Square and Modern

Not all cakes are round! Cescaphe Cakes executed this gorgeous square edged cake with alternating layers of gold and white, and topped with floral accents, it fit the vibe perfectly.

8. Oozing With Love

This Valentine’s Day inspired wedding found elegant ways of incorporating the theme without being too on the nose. This cake by Isgro’s is giving us serious Alice in Wonderland vibes. Also, it was delicious.

13. Nearly Naked

We love the way this frosting exposes some, but not all, of the cake—combining classic with creativity. Nice one, Sweet Sensation Cakes!

Hints of sherbert-colored frosting and coral florals have us swooning over this cake by Bredenbeck’s.

Bredenbeck’s strikes again! And shows us that cake layers don’t have to be touching each other to make a statement.
