Who Needs a Cake?

Dark & Mysterious

Not everything wedding-related has to be white! Opt for dark blues and moody hues to offset more traditional expectations. Adding hints of silver and twinkly accessories can set a romantic scene, almost as if you were to marry underneath the stars.

Winter Rustica

If you’re getting wed in the colder months, add some wintry charm to your modern wedding cake by adding subtle touches like eucalyptus, birch and winter roses. Only having a minimal amount of buttercream added to the outside of each tier creates a woody effect and sets the scene for the perfect winter wedding.
