Whether your having your wedding cake made by a professional or taking the task on yourself, we've put together some unique ideas from our favourite makers to inspire and whet your appetite!  

 Flower Power

Let flowers do the talking. With a simple white icing your chosen florals will really pop. This is also a super easy DIY option as you can prepare the cake and ice it beforehand and then quickly top it with some beautiful blooms on the day. 

This sweet cake was crafted by Christchurch, New Zealand based Full Time Tart and captured by George & Jane Photography. The delightful florals of this stylish creation are sure to bring a smile to everyones face.
This elegant cake was created by Auckland, New Zealand based Noughts & Crosses and photographed by Haute Weddings, see more of this chic styled shoot here. We love the use of less conventional flowers for this sophisticated design. 

Play With Colour

If you're looking for something a bit less traditional, mix it up with a pop of colour that compliments your wedding theme. Take colour inspiration from your floral arrangements, decorations or wedding outfits.

This stunning sweet treat in moody blue tones was created by Auckland, New Zealand based K Cake. We can't get enough of the perfect colour combinations of this amazing cake.

Texture

Go for subtle texture or make it a real feature! Texture is a great way to bring a little more interest to your cake design.

Get Fruity 

Edible and beautiful, adorn your cake with seasonal fruit. You can give your guests a little hint of the delicious flavours they are about to enjoy.
