Contemporary Wedding Cakes and Cake Designs

You might be well aware of what wedding cakes look like. A common mindset would be three-layered white cakes, with crunchy white frosting, and a plastic bride and groom figurine on top. However, there is an exceptional experience that delights couples nowadays, with the new contemporary wedding cake designers and revolutionary designs.

Basically, the adventurous couples that believe in innovation opt for the contemporary wedding cakes in lilac, bright orange or pink in color. These cakes could be in the shape of a stack of suitcases, an airplane or a fountain for that matter. When it comes to the taste these could be very much traditional with a cheesecake, chocolate or carrot flavor. Favorites in flavors for contemporary wedding cakes would be apricot spice, dolce de leche and fresh raspberries & chocolate. Moreover the contemporary wedding cakes may not even be cakes. They might rather be doughnuts or even cupcakes.    

For instance a craftily arranged heap of doughnuts might not be the right idea for the perfect dessert for a wedding reception. However, it is worth considering some of the ‘not so adventurous’ ideas for contemporary wedding cakes.

It is difficult to determine what makes contemporary wedding cakes actually contemporary. You are in for surprise with wedding cake designers who have recreated the magic of the wedding cake, giving it a different shape, flavor, and presentation. There have been quite a few styles in contemporary wedding cakes.

To give the cake a more asymmetrical and modern look the contemporary cake designers combine different shaped layers like triangles, circles and even squares in offset patterns. There is an ongoing trend in innovative types of frosting. The white chocolate fondant is the latest favorite as it combines traditional color with a contemporary flair.

Flowers are still used for presenting wedding cakes in creative and modern ways. To give the cake a special touch, designers integrate elements of the bride’s wedding gown-- embroidery beading, and lacing into the wedding cakes. Besides the bridal gown themes of the wedding day or bridesmaid dresses and flowers could also be integrated in the cake. To give it a less elegant that looks fun yet contemporary, wedding cakes could be decorated with brightly colored candies.

If you want a more innovative wedding cake, why not go in for individual wedding cakes. These come as fully iced, fairy cakes or boxed cakes that can be decorated as per the theme and color of your wedding. Have fun with your wedding cake; contemporary wedding cakes are sure to add a hint of your distinct personality and flair to your wedding day.

Contemporary wedding cakes can reflect anything from the season to the couple's interests. If you dream of a contemporary style wedding cake, the possibilities are endless! These cakes are not only fun but they also give a fresh twist to a modern day wedding celebration.

One new trend that has emerged is the idea of a chocolate fountain wedding cake!
