The wedding cake must not only appear extraordinary and complement your overall wedding style but it also has got to taste really good. When it comes to the great wedding cake that speaks of your unique style, many brides are looking for the designs that carry the extra wow element.

Wedding cakes are like centerpieces that you will be forced to look at and eat them at the same time. To make sure that your cake is expressive of you and your partner’s tastes include personal touches that make up the little things that are inspirational in your life. These can come from your hobbies and the things that you like. You can even use your wedding dress details to be used for decoration ideas for your wedding cake. You can crown your wedding cake with a topper that forms into you and other half’s initials. Use an especially unique topper that is designed to represent unique work of art sculpted to reflect your hobbies, interest and profession complete with the features of your clothes, hairstyle and eye color. If you are interested in keeping the figurines later on for keepsakes, you can always used topper that is made of ceramic.

Other interesting idea would be to use a favorite poem or a quote that means something to you and your partner and use it as a creative starting point for the decoration of your wedding cake. You can ask your cake designer to pipe the verses around the edges of your cake for a lovely elegant touch. A treasured photograph of you and your other half can be used and turned into edible decorations for your cake. For a monochromatic wedding theme, a serried of black and white photographs set on a classic tiered traditional white cake would make the best choice. For a funky wedding theme which calls for a more whimsical wedding cake, you can use edible multicolored heart decorations, instant paste colors, gel paste colors and squeezed gel colors to decorate your cake using your creative wild ideas.

Decorations that are based on your wedding gown are also wonderful for your wedding cake. You can have your designer copy the flowers or lace details of your wedding dress by using pretty sugar icing flowers and lace effect icing. Add colors to your wedding cake by using a ribbon. As a mix of colors are becoming the more popular alternative to the whole wedding look, you can always use silk wedding flowers of many colors to decorate on your wedding cake. Just make sure that you have checked that they are safe to use on your cake. Silk roses that are arranged between the tiers of the cake can transform a simple cake into a wonderful work of art.

Remember that even if your designer of your wedding cake decorations is full of great ideas, you must find the time and effort to add in unique personal ideas of your own to be used for the perfect wedding cake. Start by compiling a scrapbook of your favorite wedding cake decoration ideas. You can also find inspirations by browsing through wedding cake picture galleries.
