11 Modern Wedding Cakes to Have at Your Wedding!
So you want a chic modern wedding that your friends and family will be talking about in 10 years from now. Well what better a statement to make than a modern wedding cake. Think about it, seriously. If you aren’t into plain white cakes, then this is the way to go.
Black & Gold Ombré
This first cake is an ultra modern twist on ombre. From white to gold to black this cake will stand out, not like a sore thumb, but like a bright candy-apple red Ferrari. Now that is a statement you and your guests will love and love to talk about in the coming years. Take a look!
Gold & Semi-Naked
Cake Two: You may want a modern wedding, but a black wedding cake is not something that you had in mind? Well, here is a fantastic alternative! This cake is two cakes in one: a rustic semi naked cake and a modern chic gold cake — in one! This cake is perfect for a winter or early spring wedding. I can definitely see it on the sweets table, can you?
Black Swan Cake
Cake Three: Okay, so black cakes don’t scare you, but the first cake seemed to simple and the second cake too winter whimsy? No problem, I have the cake for you. This cake is a three tier mix and match cake that is both modern and black swan with a ballerina flare. Seriously, if you are girly, but also have a edgy side, this cake will be the perfect fit. The bottom black rose tier is, excuse the pun, the icing on the cake.
Marble & Gold Leaf
The fourth cake we’re going to look at is this jewel-toned and gold leaf cake. It almost looks like marble and tie-dye mixed together to form this gorgeous cake. If you want a modern wedding, what better way to show it that with a modern-looking cake. This is going to make your guests say “WOW” and make you look like the chicest modern bride there is!
Geometric & Contemporary
Cake Five is a four tier cake, where the third their isn’t even cake! What a contemporary idea to make one tier a geometric stand for the third simple white tier. Whoever thought of this was genius. Maybe you want a four-tier cake, but don’t have that many guests. Or maybe you just want to show off your creative flair. This is the perfect cake for a natural-modern wedding, think greens, whites and hints of gold.

Rustic 20’s
Cake Six is a modern cake with a Great Gatsby style. This cake will stand out in more way than one. This style cake can be used for modern, chic, rustic or 20’s style weddings. With its neutral colour and beautiful flower in the front, this cake will bring elegance to any wedding. The shiny base tier will add some glitz and glam and the black border will add some edginess.
Geode & Gold Leaf
Cake Seven is a geode cake. These cakes can be stunning and seriously cool. I don’t know how to explain this cake, but I can tell you it is modern, chic and definitely interesting. You can customize the edible crystals to match your wedding colours also, so if the bluish-purple is throwing you off, keep that in mind. Your guests will be in awe. If you don’t want the cake to out-do the dress, this may not be the right cake for you, because it will take people’s breath away. The touch of gold adds an extra touch of class. Just take a look!
Chalkboard
Cake Eight is a more rustic cake, but it is in no way a classic cake, this is very modern. Since chalk board is basically everywhere these days, why not have a chalkboard cake. You can customize the text around the cake to make it more personalized as well. This cake is the perfect accent to a rustic-style wedding and the wood plate underneath really ties the whole design together.
Gold and Marble Marvel
Cake Nine is a marble and gold wonder. I could go without the hexagon accents, but that’s just me. I love the look of this cake. I’m getting the feeling that natural stone is really in this season. If you want a chic ultra modern cake, this may be a contender for you. The square shape gives it a little more sleekness which will also play-up the modern aspect of the cake. If you’re worried the colours may be a little too much, go with a more neutral marble, think light greys.
Gold, Black, Grey and Geometrics
Cake Ten is a geometric masterpiece. For those of you who love white cakes, but would love to add a bit of colour, this is the cake for you. White base with touches of gold, light grey and dark navy. All the pieces are cut into triangles which makes the cake look super modern and geometric. I’m not going to lie, I am really loving the look of this one!
Can you say Cannoli
Cake Eleven: So you and your future spouse aren’t big fans of cake. Well here’s an option for you guys! A beautiful, very wedding-like, cannoli tower. The flowers add the perfect amount of girly wedding chic to make the tower look like a wedding cake replacement, instead of a random tower of cannoli’s. Maybe you want a small cake and something else, but are tired of seeing the cupcake tower. This, is the next best thing!
