You can’t deny that wedding cake tends to be a bit fussy, with lots and lots of detailing. Wedding cake isn’t just wedding cake anymore – it’s a centerpiece and it’s expected to be a wedding showstopper with as much personality as the bride’s gown. But what if you’re just not a fussy kind of chick and you’re part of a very unfussy couple? I recommend looking into more modern wedding cakes, a la these beauties from Sweet Sweets Cake Art.
Aren’t they just gorgeous? But you definitely can’t call them fussy or busy (even if they might stop the show, just for a moment). For a more thorough look at just how the wedding cake became what it is today, I recommend checking out Wedding Cakes and Cultural History by Simon R. Charsley. It’s a bit of an academic read, but so deliciously thorough.
Those are some lovely cakes. Almost too pretty to eat!
I just love those cackes! some of them are real masterpieces. It is almost a sacrilage to eat them!
