Your wedding cake is more than a dessert served to your guests at your reception. It’s an edible art form that should reflect your personality and style. Thinking beyond the traditional round tiers of a wedding cake can allow you to create a one-of-a-kind centerpiece for your wedding celebration. Look below at some unique wedding cake shapes.
Square-Shaped Tiers
If you want to infuse your wedding cake design with a modern look, consider using bold geometric shapes and colors to achieve it. A square- or hexagon-tiered cake, for example, creates a contemporary silhouette for your wedding cake. Build texture with decorative combing techniques on the frosting to achieve distinctive designs and patterns.
Single Tier With Embellishments
With more and more couples opting to create dessert buffets for their wedding reception, the single-tier wedding cake shapes trend remains popular. The beauty of this choice for a wedding cake lies in its simplicity. A single tier lends itself to endless ways to embellish the cake, such as floral treatments or applied edible garnishes that elevate a smaller cake.
Asymmetrical Two-Tier Cake
Asymmetrical two-tier designs also yield different cake shapes for weddings. Using different frosting flavors, such as chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla buttercream, to create diagonal patterns on the cake adds visual interest to the design. Applying a rough texture to the cake frosting can also add a distinctive look to the wedding cake.
Themed Cakes
Weddings are all about personalization, and couples who want to bring their passions into their wedding cake design can find endless inspiration. Themed cakes provide charming ways to celebrate a couple’s hobbies or interests.
For example, a bride and groom who love recreational sailing could design a sailboat wedding cake base that lends itself to further personalization. The couple’s initials could appear on gum-paste flags secured to the top of the mast, while the sails themselves could be embellished to match the wedding’s color palette.
