Most patterns, colors, and textures can be recreated on your cake by an expert cake baker. Could the sweet floral pattern on the cherished handkerchief from your grandmother provide the decoration inspiration for a beautiful and poignant cake? Can you picture the family china that has been passed on to you translated into beautifully colored swirls of frosting?

Consider the location of your wedding as a source of inspiration too. A woodland setting may suggest a cake draped in elegant butter cream greenery depicting ferns or hostas. If your party is under a tent in an open field of wildflowers, by all means, consider incorporating them into your cake. If you are having an elaborate celebration in a fancy hotel ballroom, look closely at the décor and architecture of the room: there may be shapes and colors that are beautifully suited to the structure and decoration of your cake.

The seasons too can be wonderful sources of inspiration, particularly if you are marrying on or near a holiday. So if you are planning a spring wedding in Vermont, what could be more charming and delicious than a maple sugar layer cake to evoke the state’s most delicious delicacy?

Wedding cake ideas can come from seemingly unlikely sources. So if you’re planning your wedding, take in everything – you’ll know when you’ve found the source of inspiration for your dream wedding cake.
