KEEP IT CLASSIC 

Victorian brides, welcome! All the vintage vibes of whimsical wedding dreams are swept up in this cake’s tradition-celebrating piping and subtle color, accented by a burst of magenta florals and fruit accessories.

BRIDAL WHITES

A petaled halo of luxurious white roses marries beautifully with hand-piped rosettes. Cake by Cake by Alessandra.

CENTERPIECE

Too often is the wedding cake delegated to an obscure corner away from the action. Bring it center stage with a family-style sheet cake, adorned with pressed florals to match any flower arrangements. Cake by Salt Cake City.

PETAL PERFECT

Let your last bite lean into your wedding day design, and incorporate all the colors, textures and florals that grace your tables, attire and beyond. Cake by Salt Cake City. 

WINTER WONDERLAND 

Embrace the cool colors and subtle sparkle of a winter wedding palette with a pretty powder-blue pastry accented with frosty foliage. Cake by Salt Cake City.

GARDEN AROMA 

The smell of fresh herbs fills the air around this cottage-chic design from Cake by Alessandra. Deep red tomatoes accent palette-knife petals, for garden-inspired goodness from every angle. 

MEADOW MOMENT

Give your dessert the backdrop it deserves: an explosion of florals and foliage accents a sleek design by Flour and Flourish.

ALL THE STOPS

Nothing truly says “dessert” quite like seven tiers of wedding cake magic. Fondant tufting, hand-piped details and layers of glitter deliver all the glitz to this design by Cake by Alessandra. 

FEMININE GLOW 

Bring on the ruffles—rice paper pleats adorn this stunningly modern design, fit for a garden reception, statehouse ceremony and everything in between. Cake by Cake by Alessandra.
