DUTCH GOLDEN AGE WEDDING CAKE

Inspired by the hyper- botanical that is realistic still-life paintings of Dutch artist Rachel Ruysch, circa 1685 to 1750, more than one guest can do a double take in the sight of this cake, which looks like a lush floral centerpiece. Custom-made sugar flowers, created by Amy DeGiulio of Sugar Flower Cake Shop in Nyc, were put in a bed of chocolate-fondant-covered cake, that has been set in a gold urn that is big. Fill the cake's layers with rosewater buttercream to call out it is blooming adornments.

CHOCOLATE STOUT WEDDING CAKE

Each layer of this chocolate nude cake by Wendy Kromer- Schell and Caitlin Brown drizzled with caramel and chocolate ganache is full of buttercream, and topped with candied pecans. Meanwhile, the particular cake comprises butter, yogurt, and stout (customize yours with your chosen brew), making each bite decadently moist.

CRUSHED-SWEET WEDDING CAKE

As fun as it will be to eat to make, our dazzling marmalade-sweet cake has a little muscle—and that's about it. Purchase your favorite hard candies (these are by La Vie de La Vosgienne), put them in a big resealable plastic bag, get a rolling pin, and also have a blast pounding away your prewedding jitters. Then press the crushed pieces that are glittering to the sides of a buttercream cake.

SPRING WEDDING CAKE

Springerle molds are what make this cake (an orange-chiffon confection full of mascarpone) excellent. Although the unique purple tint and springtime characters (bunnies, birds, and flowers) are not too shabby, either.

OMBRE WEDDING CAKE

Wendy Kromer- Schell and Caitlin Brown concealed blood-orange and passion-fruit curds in tinted vanilla poundcake because of this buttercream-dotted confection. Bake yours a bit bigger than desirable that browned edges could be trimmed off, revealing the lively ombre design underneath.

WEDDING PETIT FOURS

Soaked in honey glaze, and brown sugar, butter, these geometric minis by Wendy Kromer - Caitlin and Schell Brown resemble honeycombs. We topped them off with whipped cream and a serving of candied kumquats.

WHITE ROSE WEDDING CAKE

This bloom's standing as nature's most definitive love symbol stems in the Greeks, who used the flower to represent the goddess Venus. White roses, especially, have begun to symbolize purity, unity, and true love —as opposed to red roses' association with fire—which has earned them the status of Ultimate Wedding Flower. Here, New York City cake guru Sylvia Weinstock blanketed three layers of cake in handcrafted, edible sugar petals to gently hark back to the form of a French croquembouche—and develop a temple to Cupid's favourite flower.

POTTED PLANT WEDDING CAKE

Contributing editor Jason Schreiber made this herb-adorned cake, which features micro marigolds, cilantro and fennel blossoms, bachelor's buttons, sweet alyssums, oregano, and pea shoots. Swiss meringue buttercream's tacky texture kept the edible blossoms (buy your own at gourmetsweetbotanicals.com) in place.

JAPANESE SPONGE WEDDING CAKE

The filling is lemon-ginger mousse, and also the designs could be customized (wedding crest or monogram, anyone?).

ART DECO WEDDING CAKE

The designs on this cake hark back to another time—when sandals were music was for dancing, and jewelry took a leap to the long run. However, you don't need to understand your Art Deco from your Art Nouveau to admire its style that is geometric. Covered in piped dots of frosting, buttercream, and cut-fondant plaques with sanding sugar, coated, it's just plain pretty, regardless of what way you slice it.

MINI CHOCOLATE-COVERED WEDDING CAKES

Fancy: Yes. To make these miniature chocolate-covered desserts, we poured a glaze over each cake and piped on lines—and, in the instance of the cake in the centre, circles—of melted white chocolate. (Perch the cakes on a wire stand so excess glaze does not pool.) Afterward we gently dragged a toothpick through the lines to generate the designs.

ROSE-PIPED WEDDING CAKE

This joyful rose confection may seem couture, but just about anyone is capable of recreating it. Focus on a basic fondant cake. Next, print out our template of roses that are abstract, place parchment paper and trace with a piping bag of royal icing. Once dry, peel the paper from the piped roses, and stick the designs to the cake using glue paste that's been combined with hot water.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE WEDDING CAKE

This Lafayette Grand Cafe & Bakery fromage blanc cheesecake has six layers of berry-adorned goodness. The layers are flavored with vanilla bean, lemon zest, and black pepper, and sit atop an organic cornmeal crust.

TEARDROP WEDDING CAKE

Give your cake a dash of whimsy. Purchase up a fondant cake, along with a pail of fondant, from a bakery. Add roll out into a thin sheet, and food coloring to get the right colors.
