Wedding cakes in different styles: the best ideas and interesting examples

There is no wedding that would do without a special treat - a wedding cake. It is the solemn cutting of the sweet dessert that usually crowns every celebration. Newlyweds treat guests and thereby share their happiness with them, which is why confectioners are constantly working on creating new styles and decor for this dish.

A wedding cake must be tasty, but, besides this, special requirements for decoration and decoration are imposed on it. The current trends of this season are two main areas:

• asymmetric cakes - products of non-standard shape, necessarily decorated with a large number of flowers and symbolic figures;
• laconic treats - cakes, in the design of which classic, simplicity and modest decor are combined, but at the same time - luxury.

A few years ago, cakes were made either square or round. Nowadays, the forms of a sweet dessert can be very diverse, but the palm, undoubtedly, belongs to heart-shaped cakes, and you can make such a cake in a variety of forms - in the form of one or more tiers from a large heart to a small one, in the form of a heart locked with a key. A red heart decorated with white bows or a dessert pierced by the arrow of a young Cupid looks very stylish.

Decors, which consist of several tiers, are very relevant, and a waterfall of flowers falls from top to bottom. No less popular are other, not so familiar, but, no doubt, original and stylish cakes.

All types of wedding cakes can be divided into several styles, depending on the theme of the decor and its direction. Thus, everyone can choose the design that will suit the taste of the bride and groom and the style of the celebration itself.

Let us dwell on the most common options.

This is a classic sweet dessert that is always relevant. It combines restraint, aesthetics and elegance - cakes are usually decorated in a snow-white hue, and beads, ribbons and bows are used as decor elements. There is no place for a florid pattern, since they visually overload the overall perception of the composition.

For those who are planning a wedding party without excessive pretentiousness, a large cake decorated in a rustic style is suitable. This direction is characterized by concise minimalism and simple line geometry. Usually one or two accents are used here, which can be flowers, imitations of small branches of a tree and other natural elements.

Provence cakes look very stylish, they literally personify a combination of tenderness and romance and are mentally carried to France, which has long been recognized as the most romantic country. It is no secret that this light but elegant style was born there.

You can achieve real French charm by using pastel colors and the effect of some “dustiness” of the surface. There are a variety of floral notes, a large number of decorative berries, as well as fruits. The main shades of Provence are white and purple in varying degrees of saturation.

The marine theme is very popular in the decor of cakes for a wedding, and it is not necessary to prepare a dessert in the form of a ship or an anchor - you can create a treat decorated with pearls, starfish and decorative sea shells. This style is very close to the Mediterranean and allows you to emphasize the lightness, airiness and freshness of the decor.

And so that this design is not too fanciful, you do not need to completely cover the surface of the cake with cream.

Stylish cake for modern young people. This trend began to increase its popularity in recent years, when the newlyweds began to move away from the usual canons of weddings. Now treats are decorated with various gold, bronze and silver shades, most often such cakes are made in multi-tiered.

Painted cakes, perhaps, can be called real works of art, these are exceptionally bright, unusual and elegant desserts, in which hand painting and an abundance of floral details prevail. By the way, the drawings are quite interestingly combined with the metallic style - therefore, such a cake will appeal to young modern couples and their parents, who in most cases prefer classics in wedding decor.

The ombre technique looks very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing on cakes; it involves the use of gradient shades that give the treat a truly magnificent look.

Such a cake could be called classic, but for this it is too light and fancy. The surface of such a treat literally abounds with buds made of mastic; a multi-tiered cake decorated with hundreds of sugar flowers will look especially luxurious.

For tender and romantic couples, you can stay on cakes decorated with sweet ruffles. In recent years, more and more grooms and brides order the so-called corrugated treats. As a rule, brides are asked to decorate them in the same shade as the frills on their wedding dresses - this is a very original and, no doubt, stylish wedding find.

This is not a complete list of wedding styles in the manufacture of cakes. Among the newlyweds, desserts in the style of boho, eco and even in the Russian folk style are in demand. No less popular are products decorated in autumn shades or the color of Marsala.
