Over 500 Wedding Cake Pictures,
Themes and Ideas

Feast your eyes on these wedding cake pictures. Cakes take on a whole new meaning in the 21st Century, they are a true art form and a memorable decoration and show piece at the wedding reception.

There are so many different designs, shapes and sizes to choose from. However, not all cakes can be tiered. If you want a tiered wedding cake it's best to choose either a fruit cake, carrot cake or a mud cake as they are more solid and can take the weight of other cakes on top.

Sponge cake on the other hand is best left as a single tier. Sponge is very soft and will fall apart with the extra weight. Your wedding cake bakery will more than likely inform you of this if you ask to have sponge cake as your wedding cake.

There's something gorgeous and elegant about black and white cakes that brings an air of sophistication to a wedding. The groom's black tuxedo and the bride's white bridal gown conjure up the scene of the ultimate black and white ball!

Small Wedding Cakes

small wedding cakeFairy Godmother tip; if you have a small cake budget, choose a beautiful but small wedding cake for your reception, use it for the cutting of the cake photo's.

Have another much larger slab of cake made with the same flavour and icing, no need to have it decorated with fresh flowers or elaborate scuptured flowers, as it is just a cake for cutting and serving. This slab of cake is only seen by the kitchen staff. This saves on wedding cake decorating and wedding cake tier costs. You get to have your dream cake and enough cake to serve all your guests.
