Pretty and Playful

1. Add a bit of whimsy to your reception with this cheery cake by baker Carol Antes. Each tier is juxtaposed with subtle patterns and textured floras to create this sweet and botanical piece. Customize the colors and choose different flavors on each layer to offer your guests a delectable selection by Sugar Buzz Novelty & Wedding Cakes.

2. Between the clinking of glasses and heart-warming toasts, treat your guests to this topsy-turvy cake garnished with edible blooms. Created by husband-and-wife team Neil and Ella Levinson, this trendy cake is perfect for the contemporary couple seeking unconventional beauty. Consider ordering it in Classic Cakes and Confections signature Divinity, a cake with caramel overtones filled with Kahlúa meringue buttercream.

3. A play off the illustrative prints of fashion designer Emilio Pucci, this exuberant cake is perfect for a young (or young at heart!) couple looking to throw a colorful celebration. Owner P.J. Coleman, of La Dolce Pesca, recommends their vanilla sponge cake with Bavarian cream and fresh strawberries among other custom flavors fit for the palate of the sunny seasons.

4. Veering away from the conventional pastel colors of spring weddings, Barbara Gardner added splashes of red blooms to a clean, fondant canvas. This delightful cake is a perfect match for the bride and groom seeking elegance and charm. Let guests marvel at not only the sight but also the taste of this dainty delicacy with a chocolate-raspberry or lemon-raspberry flavor from Let Them Eat Cake.
 
5. Inspired by all things summer, baker David Pham created this one-of-a-kind, fanciful piece for the couple hunting for a fun and memorable design. He chose to incorporate bright colors with zoo-inspired patterns, touching on outdoor activities enjoyed in the summertime. Iced with buttercream, try this cake in pink champagne with a champagne-raspberry filling by Bamboo Bakery.

6. Planning a retro-themed wedding, or searching for a vintage yet modern confection? Elizabeth Bradley, of AZ Cakes, envisioned a 1960s, Mad Men theme when designing this cake. With its circular ornaments and unique, carved tiers supported by spherical dividers, this design adds an element of fun and spontaneity to any wedding décor.
