Showstopper Summer Wedding Cakes
Wedding cakes were originally used to bring good luck & bountiful fortune to the married couple. Today, they play a huge role in the reception, and are often more works of art than dessert. Here are some summer wedding cakes that will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth!
Sometimes, less is more. “Naked” cakes have swiftly captured the hearts of rustic brides everywhere. Your sweet centerpiece can be adorned with fresh fruit (berries are ripest in the summer), flowers, or anything else you could possibly want. The end result is a charming cake with unique, homemade touch.

Lovely in Lace. Incorporating texture into your wedding cake is a great way to ensure a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Ask your baker to coat your tiers in a pattern, or even provide photos/spare gown materials for inspiration, and a final touch to tie everything in.

Not all of us can get whisked away to France for our big day. Capture Parisian charm by using French influences, like a towering cake of pastel macarons! Add fresh greens and flowers for a less polished, but-still-pretty finish.

Citrus & stone fruits (peaches, apricots, nectarines) are beautiful in any summer arrangement. Sprinkle some Southern charm onto your wedding by incorporating these into your spread.
Apricots adorn a frosting-laced bundt cake, while Sweet Pea adds a fragrant, floral finish.
Last but definitely not least, the unmistakeable beauty of hand-painted cakes never goes unnoticed. Use any color palette, design, or size to express you & your significant other’s personal style.
