When grooms are asked for their opinion on the wedding cake usually all he has to offer up is which tasted the best. If you go with a black and white wedding cake instead of the many colors available, he may have more to say. Black and white is much easier for a groom to comment and discuss, as it is not girly or frivolous in any way. This is just one of the reasons this color choice is so popular.
Traditionally wedding cakes tend to be white. These days cakes take on many different colors and patterns, including black and white. For those brides and grooms who want a little something different, but they want the cake to be mostly white they can ask their baker about adding just a touch of black with small patterns and lines.
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.
Another trend in wedding cake design is to have patterns and designs on the cake. Many brides choose simple design elements such as polka dots, lines, swirls and stripes. Other shapes which are popular include hearts, diamonds, and squares. If you are looking for a more complex design you could consider flowers, leaves, monograms or even pictures on the cake.
Black and white wedding cakes are simply stunning, but some brides and grooms prefer to add a bit of color to the cake. One popular idea for that would include incorporating flower petals, either on the tiers of the cake or as the cake topper. Many brides leave the actual cake untouched, but decorate the cake table with petals of the same color as the bridesmaids dresses.
When choosing a topper or any other accessories for this cake you should make sure they match. They do not have to be black and white like the cake, but they also should not seem out of place. You probably do not want an overly colorful cake topper, some color is appropriate but too much will take away from the theme of the cake.
Black and white wedding cakes are becoming more popular these days and with good reason. They can be very beautiful and they photograph well. Just make sure that the wedding cake matches the rest of your day. Do not purchase only because you love it, it needs to go with the rest of your theme, decorations and apparel.
