Modern Wedding Cakes That May Surprise You

I love watching the evolution of cake art, and today we're going to look at some fantastically fun designs like THIS:

(By Lima Cakes)

Aw yeeeah.

This one reminds me of a shopping mall in the 80s, but I mean that in the most glorious and refined way possible:

(By Malarkey Cakes, London)

So fun, right? The texture on the bottom tier is my favorite.

Or perhaps you'd like something DRAMATIC:

(By Lima Cakes)

You can see why the all-caps was necessary. Wowza.

This next one might be my favorite today; it's practically bursting with color and motion:

(By Historias Del Ciervo)

It almost feels like the cake is opening up like a flower, right? And then releasing the butterflies? That is SO COOL.

Classic white and gold with a fresh twist:

(By Dolce Vita Cakes, Toronto)

I like the balance of the flowers on the side.

Ohhh, these colors:

(By Historias Del Ciervo)

More metallic jewel tones, please, bakers. This is incredible.

This one practically leapt off the screen at me. I am mesmerized by the floating illusion with the black and white splash:

(By Saltadena, Washington)

And the single orange flower at the base? ::chef's kiss::

Another beauty that made me stop and stare:

(By Maggie Austin Cake)

Are they leaves? What's the top thing? How is it doing that? I have no answers, but I'll keep sighing dreamily over this cake anyway.  

This one has a galaxy feel to it, right? If a galaxy was hot pink and orbited by flowers?

(By Historias Del Ciervo)

STELLAR.

And finally, another contender for my top favorite, a gravity-defying gem that knows how to make a splash:

(By Zummy Cookie)

Grabby hands. I have them. (Although I'd actually rather have it as a ceramic-and-glass sculpture so I can hang my necklaces on the orbs and keep rings in the top dish. Eh? EH? Jewelry box designers, get on this.)

I hope these gave you smile today, cake fans! Stay sane and safe out there, and remember to make today extra Sweet for someone you love.

P.S. When you only have the energy to make cupcakes, here's a way to make them extra fancy:

Silicone Teacups & Saucers

SO CUTE. And only $9 for the set, which also comes in white.
