10 White Wedding Cakes That Look More Like Art

Share

Wedding cakes are edible art. They’re an ephemeral sculpture that is immortalized in photos, but ultimately becomes part of you and everyone else at your wedding–it’s kinda deep when you think about it. When it comes to wedding cakes, you can’t go wrong with a classic white exterior. Going for a neutral color also allows you to give your cake artist a little more room for creativity with the overall design of the cake. Here are ten white wedding cakes that are almost too pretty to eat.

If you’re looking for something a little more colorful for your wedding, check out The Rock’s rainbow wedding cake, or these wedding cakes that feature edible flowers!

1. Sculpted

This stunning chiseled wedding cake by Jasmine Rae Cakes would be perfect for a minimalist gallery wedding or a desert wedding where it would blend with the gorgeous rock formations.

2. Making Waves

Like waves crashing on the shore, this gorgeous cake would be perfect for a beach wedding!

3. In Bloom

Nothing says garden wedding like a simple white buttercream cake with floral accents. We love how Lele Patisserie decided to keep the flower placement more haphazard and whimsical rather than neat and tidy.

4. Stacked High

You know what they say, “the bigger, the better”–and, when it comes to wedding cakes, we couldn’t agree more! Imagine this towering cake at the center of your elegant ballroom wedding.

5. Natural

Earthy couples, this one’s for you. This cake by Jasmine Rae Cakes is reminiscent of a rock cairn and would be perfect for an outdoor cliffside wedding or in a minimalist loft space.

6. A Touch Of Gold

This delicate cake by Heirloom Baking Co is the perfect finish to a reception in a gilded antique estate. 

7. Marble

Marble is still so popular for weddings and we love this fresh organic take on the trend. 

8. Chiseled

Looking for something more minimalist, yet unexpected, go with a cube wedding cake like this one by La Boheme Cake Design.

9. By The Sea
