Cakes for contemporary weddings are not simple sweet desserts, but real works of art.

Finding the perfect cake for your wedding is not a very difficult task, especially when the couple already knows what they want for the reception.

The contrary, smaller designs are cuter and also more delicious. Miniature cakes, cupcake wedding cakes and single tier confections are all the rage right now. Multi-tier cakes have been replaced with smaller confections based on intense colors, asymmetrical shapes and bold flavors. The fresh floral decoration has also been replaced by an edible form of decorating a wedding cake. Our designers are very passionate about creating edible flowers and other figurines for modern cakes. Besides this, the color is also different. If traditional wedding cakes are based on one solid color, modern designs can feature a richer color mix. Your cake can feature a color or pattern on one tier and another one on the other tier.
Ombre, chevron and rainbow themed wedding cakes are beautiful examples in this sense. The shape of the contemporary cake is a bit more dynamic and imposing. Couples of today prefer square, hexagonal and asymmetrical tiers instead of classic cylindrical shapes. The traditional bride and groom figurine toppers are nowadays replaced by more humorous or artistic figurines and toppers. We can talk about fashion-inspired wedding cakes, where the cake mimics the fabric or texture of a bridal dress. Shimmering cakes based on edible glitter, gold dust and other metallic hue decorations are other voguish styles to consider for a 2012 wedding reception.
