The wedding cake design should not only reflect personal style, but also ideally be in sync with the menu and the décor of the wedding reception. The wedding cake should fit in the theme of the wedding reception.
Wedding cake designs can come in many forms, from the usual cream or white icings in conventional designs, to wholly non-traditional designs laced with vibrant artistry.
With the passing of time, wedding cake designs have evolved. Couples are now choosing cupcake trees with greater frequency, which was one of the foremost wedding cake ideas. Yet, some still have a preference for the conventional cakes for their wedding cakes.
The size and design of the wedding cake may depend on a number of things, like the size of the wedding budget or the availability of other desserts in the reception.
Today, one can find pastry chefs who offer infinite wedding cake ideas on icings, decorations, construction, and flavors.
A wedding cake's design can be a reflection of personal taste. A couple with a passion for cars or motorcycles can have wedding cakes reflecting the same; a small motorcycle accompanying the miniature figures of the couple atop the cake, for example.
The flavor of the wedding cake is another important aspect. No flavor is off-limits for the modern wedding. One can have cheesecakes, mousse-filled cakes, pound cakes, vanilla, chocolate or sponge cake.
Today, one can find competent bakers with the ability to create the lacy look of the bride's dress with frosting or the use of pearls. With frosting, these bakers can duplicate the look of any part of the reception's décor. Also, couples can have their initials entwined in the cake with frosting.
In Bermuda, wedding cakes have a little green tree as a cake topping. Following the wedding, the newlyweds can plant the same tree in their garden, and symbolically watch it grow with time.
Then there are other options like adding edible fruits, chocolates or nuts around the cake. This will augment the designs on the guests' plates. For that matter, one can also use edible roses, lavender or oregano as designs, or non-edible flowers as cake toppings.

A Wisconsin bakery is in a scramble to match 200 wedding cakes with the brides and grooms who ordered them after a robbery stole their safe.
Burglars stole the safe at LaSure's Cafe and Bakery during a break-in early Tuesday. Owner Bob Heisler wasn't too concerned until he realized the safe held the contracts for every wedding cake order for the next two years. "My wife just about screamed," he said. "I mean, she just went nuts." The Heislers keep a hand-written record of every order -- the same way they’ve done it for 30 years, and the list is not backed up on a computer. The contracts include detailed drawings and requests for each of the nearly 250 wedding cakes they prepare each year. "Anything for after this coming Sunday, we don't have a contract," Heisler said.
