Summer weddings are all about sunshine, happiness, and beautiful memories. And what better way to commemorate the occasion than with a delicious and gorgeous wedding cake? Summer wedding cakes come in many styles, flavors, and designs, and choosing the perfect one can be a fun and exciting task. In this post, we’ll share some of the latest summer wedding cake trends and ideas that will inspire you and make your special day even more memorable.
Embrace The Surroundings
Draw inspiration from your tropical venue’s foliage for your big-day confection’s color palette. Earth & Sugar used this location’s bright bougainvillea and green palm leaves as the muses for this multi-hued brushstroke-patterned cake.
Pastel Blooms
Perfect for a summer wedding, this soft-colored cake is almost too pretty to eat. And though the colors might be muted, they’ll certainly pack a punch when used for sugar flowers, fresh blooms, patterned fondant, painted buttercream, and the myriad methods employed by cake masters in the sweet treats that follow.
Ocean-Inspired
Inspired by the ocean blue, this dreamy dessert is enhanced with slate and sapphire tones and accented with rock candy to mirror the surf’s salty texture. It features cascading wave details with the tiniest bit of sand and metallic detailing.
Yellow
Let the sunshine into your wedding décor by incorporating this summer hue. It is one of the beautiful colors that instantly brighten one’s mood and creates a happy space. Add in some sugar blooms so you can embrace the season’s spirit and place it on a stand to elevate the style.
Tropical
There are so many tropical details to incorporate into your big-day dessert, but we think coconuts are an appropriate (and delicious) addition.
Fruit Delights
Fresh fruit is one of the easiest ways to take a plain wedding cake to the next level. Citrus summer fruits, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and kumquats, are perfect for a summer wedding, thanks to their bright colors and refreshing taste—floral cake toppers optional!
Geode
Geode cake = edible art! And this piece of art is surely going to mesmerize you and your guests as soon as they make an entry. Immaculately sharp white edges, decadent gold leaf detailing and a dazzling rift of ruby crystal ripping through the center. There’s no denying the wow-factor style on the show with this wedding cake.
The Classic White
Whether you choose fondant or buttercream frosting, white serves as a blank slate for so many different designs. Adorned with gold borders, this multi-tier cake is making a luxury statement of its own, giving your white wedding cake an elegant, no-fuss look.
