Illustrations on wedding cakes don’t always have to be so formal, they can also be adorable and quirky! You can even ask your baker to create images that resemble the two of you and incorporate phrases that hold meaning to the both of you.

Minimalist cakes don’t always have to be white. Going for pastel colors, like this cake with blush frosting, will add to the uniqueness of your cake. Why not keep in theme and match the color of your cake to your wedding motif?

Spotify cakes are also trending and this anniversary cake is a great peg! This design is also fun and interactive. You can scan the code (written in frosting) and it will lead your guests to your playlist. This is a creative way to compile your favorite songs and share them with your friends and family.

These Korean style minimalist cakes are also suitable for engagement celebrations. We love the quirky design on this cake with the bride’s soon-to-be surname. This is also something you can consider as the design on your wedding cake. You can put your new family name or even your monogram.

A semi-naked cake with a minimalist touch is also a beautiful choice! You usually see this kind of cake in rustic or boho weddings, but even if you don’t have a particular theme in mind, you won’t go wrong with this look.

Does this phrase look familiar? If you know the song Araw-Araw by Ben & Ben, then these lyrics will surely ring a bell. This design gives you inspiration to be even more creative with your wedding cake. Go for bolder colors and think of significant lines like your favorite song lyrics as the dedication!

The more the merrier, so why not add sweetness to your day by having matching cupcakes along with your wedding cake?

Cute bride and groom toppers is always a good idea! It does not get any more personalized than having a topper made resembling the happy couple. You can match the hair color and the outfits to your own and strike the exact same pose in front of your cake on the big day!
