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.

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.

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!
