Vineyard wedding cake

by Chef Marney White
(Long Island, NY)

This cake was topped with an adorable pair of lovebirds that the bride found on Etsy. It features gum paste gardenias and stephanotis. The cake board is trimmed in burlap (to match the little burlap bags that held the wedding favors) and sheer eggplant organza ribbon, and the fondant on the cake board is tinted violet (but you can't see that because of the blue lighting).

The top two tiers were lemon cake with raspberry filling, the 3rd tier was gingerbread-carrot cake filled with cream cheese icing and painted with Bailey's Irish Cream, and the bottom tier was chocolate cake with a double-layer filling of chocolate ganache and apricot brandy buttercream filling. The bottom tier was iced in milk chocolate buttercream, and the remainder of the cake was iced in almond buttercream.

Elegant Cake with Wedding Ring Cake Topper

elegant wedding cake

I really like this elegant cake. I think it's elegant because of the cake stand, the lighting (looks like a formal ballroom) and the cake topper. It's hard to see in the picture, but it's of a wedding ring set. Real clean and elegant I thought. Also the tablecloth looks real formal and elegant too!

Elegant and Formal Pink Wedding Cake

by Nancy
(Brooklyn, NY)

Designer Formal Wedding Cake

This wedding cake is so proper, and elegant, and formal. I would imagine the beading on the dress matches the beading on the cake. I would imagine the beading on the cake is edible? I don't know a lot about couture cakes yet I'm afraid. Anyway, I really like this wedding cake, it's on the list of cakes I'm contemplating choosing for my very elegant wedding next February.
