Red And Black Wedding Cakes
Whimsical yet extremely romantic, black & red themes are very popular for weddings. In fact, all themes based on white, black and red color mixes have become more common during the last few years for nuptials. The mix between red and black is very dramatic and elegant. It is for certain one of the most passionate color combos a couple can select for their wedding. This tonality can help the bride and her groom express their personality and taste in fashion.
We can talk about a club feel that these two hues give, which makes them perfect for a modern dramatic wedding. The red and black theme is striking and contrasting and it can provide a wedding reception with both elegance and vibrancy. It is classy and chic, profound and mystical. These two colors remind us of the Gothic style. You can follow this route if you are willing to plan a bold whimsical wedding. The Goth culture is one of the most controversial and one of the most inciting for a wedding. It can help the couple show off their darker side. Those who love the punk and rock currents will surely enjoy this style too. The Goth aesthetics are ideal for a whimsy wedding cake.

There are many motifs you can get inspired from for your cake & décor, such as: death-centric imagery, macabre symbols, lurid tones and neo-Victorian motifs. Try to follow one of these routes, or try to come up with your own Red and black wedding cake idea. Use dark chocolate ganache to cover the tiers of the cake. This will make up for the black nuance you need for the theme. Color the interior of the cake in black or red, depending on your own preference. We think that a red buttercream cake with a black chocolate filling can make even a more appealing selection. Your guests will adore this shocking surprise and compliment your choice.
Top the cake with black colored roses and violets for a more intricate and magical feel. Use Alice in Wonderland theme to make your cake feel even more romantic. Follow the Mad Hatter style for a more modern specific effect. Choose a cylindrical shape for your cake and adorn it with playing card motifs. Your confection can resemble the Mad Hatter’s chapeau. This would make a sensational idea. Add a few blue-colored cupcakes to make this theme feel even more whimsical. Those who want the romantic style to prevail can choose a Victorian cake. For a formal wedding, choose trifles in black and red. The cake can be based on old-fashion Victorian cake recipes. Flavors like brandy, fruits and jam, whipped cream, and nuts are original selections. For more drama, place the trifles in glass dishes.
