erhaps the most common
prism at a wedding is a
diamond ring, but couples
are also embracing
prismatic designs on their wedding
cakes. Some have equal sides and
parallel lines — symbolic of a
modern relationship. Some are
triangular, dispersing white light into
a spectrum of beautiful colors.
Regardless of any potential meaning,
prisms also add a modern look for
those seeking a contemporary style.

While planning her square-tiered
wedding cake, Avrahami wanted to
incorporate straight prism lines into a
delicate design. “I love light colors like
turquoise, peach and white for a
wedding, and I wanted to include
flowers because it’s romantic,” she says.
An abundance of handcrafted roses
cascade from the top, down to a line of
roses atop a bold geometric bottom tier.
To complement the soft look, scattered
prism shapes add “a little bit of gold to
the cake, which is very classic and
elegant for weddings,” she says. The
design would appeal to modern couples
who are looking for different techniques,
Avrahami says, noting that she also offers
kosher cakes baked off-site in a certified
kosher kitchen.
