Simple or complex, chic or fanciful – designing a wedding cake for the bride with modern tastes can be such an exciting and fun journey. Throwing off the restrictions of convention and tradition can free the imagination to run wild – with colors, shapes, and themes. Taking a minimalist approach fairly screams sophistication, while contrasting palettes and unpredictable patterns allow the “couple of the day” to express themselves uniquely and inform their guests they really are one-of-a-kind.

Take, for example, this collection of tiered cakes that feature a sterling white backdrop on which to place details both intricate and playful:

Pastry Palace Las Vegas – Wedding Cake 1239 – Black & White Wedding

Or think about starting out with bold colors – and then adding details both elementary and intricate.

Linear or geometrical designs let you add either clean lines – or mix it up and make a statement, as you’ll see below. But wherever you choose to begin, just remember that the sky’s the limit. Bring your imagination to the table, and a true cake artiste will be thrilled to fashion your dreams into something delightful . . . with personality – and attitude!
