You don’t need to plan a destination wedding to enjoy a tropical theme. The cake is a great place to highlight the theme by including a tropical design. From tropical flowers and a waterfall like this example, to palm trees and monkey cake toppers, your tropical cake can be elegant, silly, or anything in between.

Words of Love

The symbolism of this cake from Sedona Wedding Cakes is hard to miss! With words like ‘Love’, ‘Loyalty’, and ‘Kiss’ all over the cake, the message is clear. This cake is sweet in more than one way, and the elegant script also provides a fine decoration, almost like scrollwork when seen from a distance.

Guests will have fun reading the cake before it is cut, and you don’t have to sacrifice beauty for such a sweet message. This cake is all around sweet, and a big winner.

This gorgeous cake by Flour Girl is the perfect example of how a simple cake can be dressed up by accessories. This elegant cake is actually pretty basic, but is accented by the beautiful jeweled branches that have been attached to the face. The jewels add tons of sparkle and shine, as well as a totally classy and elegant look to the cake itself.

Metallic Cake

This Topsy Turvy cake is not just fun, it is eye catching because of the airbrushed metallic colors. If you love the glitzy look, talk to your baker about a metallic tone to your own cake, either in shades of gold, copper, and bronze like this one, or incorporating silver into the design.

Metallic cakes call attention even without bobbles on top, and are classy, elegant, and breathtaking choices for the modern bride.

Ribbon Cake

This lovely cake from Brenda’s Wedding Cakes is a creation of fondant ripples down the face of the cake and is decorated with real ribbon at the base of each layer. Using real ribbon in cake decorating is a good way to add bold color and an interesting texture, but keep in mind that it will need to be removed before the cake can be cut properly, and this can be messy. If your caterer is serving the cake, warn them ahead of time so that they aren’t surprised by the ribbon.

Get your Cake Gift Wrapped?

This beauty from Lola’s Pastries is fun and lovely at the same time. Keep it away from the gift table or it may be manhandled! The cake is decorated to look like stacked gift boxes with a beautiful wedding color scheme. Your local wedding cake baker will find it a pretty simple design concept to duplicate, and yet it is both beautiful, elegant, and not untraditional.

Multi-Colored Wedding Cakes

This bright cake from Just Temptations is but one example of how bright, colorful, and creative cake-makers can get when they are given free reign. A multi-colored cake like this one can showcase just what a creative and fun-loving couple you are. If you want to go color crazy, talk to your cake maker about what bright colors you might enjoy, and don’t be afraid to mix, max, and maybe even clash a little.

Lily Wedding Cakes

Lilies make beautiful cake decorations, like this one from Cakes by Design. Beautiful, bold, and sexual in a subtle way, the lily is a wonderful wedding flower. Their elegance makes them a great flower to be highlighted atop the cake, worked into the design of the whole cake, or even used to decorate the cake table.

Ice Cream Wedding Cakes

Irene’s Cakes, which is the creator of the lovely cake shown here, can prepare ice cream wedding cakes. You may want an ice cream sheet cake so that you can display a regular cake without fear of it melting, or you may prefer to have a cardboard display cake, or even have your wedding cake brought out at the last minute to be shown off (perhaps carried through the entire reception to give people a good look) and cut right away.

Ice cream wedding cakes are not common, so you will have a fun and unique cake for your guests. Ice cream also has the benefit of having tons of flavors to choose from.
