The Key to Having a Photogenic Wedding Cake



Wedding cakes have a long-standing tradition as a symbol of celebration of two people joining as one. Whether you are planning a traditional elegant wedding or an outrageously original one, your wedding cake will remain a focal point of the event.

When you plan your dream wedding cake, you have to understand that everything unique costs extra…. and you pay per slice. The cost of a slice of wedding cake can range from $3.00 to $13.00. Plus, if you want fresh flowers, multiple tiers and fondant, the costs will certainly add up.

Of course, you want your beautiful wedding cake to be highlighted in your wedding pictures and it's easy to panic about the price of an elegant cake. You can still plan to dive into a delicious and beautiful cake that's affordable and will photograph well, just use some of these ideas below.

  1. Round cakes look better on a round table and a square cake looks best on a rectangular table.
  2. Candles adorning the table can illuminate your cake, making it appear magical in pictures.
  3. Silk table linens can dress up your cake, while plain white cotton linens can dull the beauty of it.
  4. Faux silk flowers have the appearance of real flowers. Plus, they'll dress up your cake affordably and will shine in your pictures.
  5. You can create a multi-tiered cake by using a cake base on the bottom. You might have only two layers of cake, but one or two cake bases will give it beautiful height that looks great in photographs.
  6. Monogrammed letters or words made from frosting that surround your cake gives it a 3-D appearance that wows in photographs.
  7. For pictures, you can rent a faux wedding cake and serve your guests with delicious homemade cupcakes and scoop of ice cream with a garnish of mint.
