B
rides and grooms may pour over
every detail of their weddings, but
few components of the festivities may be
as fun, especially for foodies, as deciding
what the wedding cake will look like. Cou-
ples who want to deliver show-stopping
visuals often express some measure of
their creativity and personalities through
statement wedding cakes.
Many couples now eschew the clas-
sic three-tiered white cake in favor of a
dessert that garners instant attention.
Whether the cake is brightly colored
or hand-painted, a towering architec-

make a statement. Lifelike sugar fl owers
can really set cakes apart. Guests may not
be sure if they can consume all aspects
of some cakes. But delicate sugar fl owers
taste as good as they look.
• Hand-painted tiles on a cake are
another way to add panache. A bride and
groom may be inspired by a European
vacation or the stained-glass eff ects of
religious windows and want to add that
feel to the tiers of the cake.
• Sometimes a statement comes by
way of texture. Even an all-white cake can
be dressed up with interesting textural
eff ects. Ruffl es, lace, embossing, and 3-D
rosettes are diff erent textural compo-
