Black and White wedding cakes are trendy. Many brides and grooms choose this color scheme because it looks classy and elegant. Using a black and white wedding cake can allow you to easily match the rest of the wedding decor.
When most people think about wedding cake they think about a white cake. If you are this kind of person and you do not want to stray too far away from the normal wedding cake vision you can just use slight accents of blacks. Your cake maker can use strategic dots, stripes or other patterns to allow your cake to come alive.
If a little bit of black is not enough for you, you might want to color distribution to be even. One way to do this is alternating the color of each tier of the cake.
If you are looking for more than just black and white alternating tiers you could consider using design elements in your cake. These could include polka dots, swirls, hearts and diamonds. If you are looking for a truly stunning design you might want to have black leaves and flowers on a white wedding cake.
If you want a black and white cake but are still looking for a touch of color, that can be done too. You might decide to use flower petals either directly on your cake or artfully positioned on the cake table. If you like the idea of color but you don’t want flowers, you can ask your baker to see samples of where they blended in small amounts of color into the cake design.
Sometimes choosing a cake topper can be as much fun as decorating the cake itself. Make sure the topper you choose goes well with the cake. The idea is to find something that looks like it was meant to go together, so watch what you choose so it does not clash or seem out of place.
The black and white wedding cake is a popular choice among brides and grooms in all types of weddings. If you do decide this is the color scheme for you, make sure it matches the rest of your day, including your color schemes and decor. Whereas black and white is beautiful, you do not want it to look like it is at the wrong wedding.
