Black and white wedding cakes are a popular choice for weddings today. Using black and white allows you to easily match other decorations and accents throughout the celebration. This cake can look many things, depending on how it is designed, including elegant, modern, sophisticated and stunning.

When most people think about wedding cake they think about a white cake. If you are this kind of person and you do not want to stray too far away from the normal wedding cake vision you can just use slight accents of blacks. Your cake maker can use strategic dots, stripes or other patterns to allow your cake to come alive.

If a little bit of black is not enough for you, you might want to color distribution to be even. One way to do this is alternating the color of each tier of the cake.

Another trend in wedding cake design is to have patterns and designs on the cake. Many brides choose simple design elements such as polka dots, lines, swirls and stripes. Other shapes which are popular include hearts, diamonds, and squares. If you are looking for a more complex design you could consider flowers, leaves, monograms or even pictures on the cake.

Black and white wedding cakes are simply stunning, but some brides and grooms prefer to add a bit of color to the cake. One popular idea for that would include incorporating flower petals, either on the tiers of the cake or as the cake topper. Many brides leave the actual cake untouched, but decorate the cake table with petals of the same color as the bridesmaids dresses.

When choosing a topper or any other accessories for this cake you should make sure they match. They do not have to be black and white like the cake, but they also should not seem out of place. You probably do not want an overly colorful cake topper, some color is appropriate but too much will take away from the theme of the cake.

The black and white wedding cake is a popular choice among brides and grooms in all types of weddings. If you do decide this is the color scheme for you, make sure it matches the rest of your day, including your color schemes and decor. Whereas black and white is beautiful, you do not want it to look like it is at the wrong wedding.
