Classic & Traditional Wedding Cake Designs

The traditional wedding cake goes hand in glove with the white wedding gown and other traditional symbols of innocence and purity. Queen Victoria set the trend and tradition for white weddings. When she married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg in 1840, she wore a white wedding gown.

This was the true beginning of the modern white wedding. Of course, it was natural that the wedding cake would match the gown. Thus, the traditonal cake is white and tiered.

Often topped with either bride and groom figurines or a floral wedding cake topper. The cake can be decorated with buttercream scrolls, decorations or florals and/or fondant handmade sugar flowers. It can be simple or elaborate but the white wedding cake is now such a tradition, it can seem as timeless as the wedding itself.
