Trendy Topper

Cake-top jewelry is the latest trend, from stunning monograms accented with Swarovski crystals to sprays of Swarovski gems.

Tasteful Tower

Not a fan of wedding cake? Create a towering pyramid of croquembouche, doughnuts, cupcakes, or petits fours.

Sweet Tart

For a dessert both sweet and tart, core crab apples from the bottom, fill them with chocolate ganache, and seal them with hot caramel.

Sweet Blooms

Save money by asking your confectioner to decorate your cake with fresh flowers instead of the more costly sugar-paste blooms.

Architectural Design

End your reception on a dramatic note by unveiling a topsy-turvy wedding cake. The asymmetrical tiers create a striking, sculptured look that's fresh and modern.

Contemporary Cake Toppers

Use bejeweled initials, decorative objects and detailed figurines to add creativity to your cake. Some toppers can even be specially designed to replicate the couple using made-to-match hair and skin color, and even gender (for same-sex unions).

Cut It with Class

For a wonderful heirloom, have your names engraved on a sterling cake knife; it can be passed on to siblings, children and grandchildren, all adding their names when they use it.

Flavors and Fillings

Let your baker guide you by scheduling a cake tasting. Combining flavors is tricky—pick only a few and have your choices sanctioned by a pro.

Crushed Cake

Imagine if your wedding cake slides off the table? It has happened, and if it happens to you, ask two people to drive to the nearest store and buy the best-looking desserts available. Sheet cakes are a good option, unless they are iced in a birthday-balloon motif; in that case, go with anything pretty that can be cut—pies, pastries or cupcakes.

Droopy Layers

If your wedding cake starts to suffer on a hot summer day, immediately put it in the reception site's freezer or on ice. The chill will firm it right up.

Down by the Sea

Play up nuptials on the Jersey shore by decking your wedding cake with sugar shells (Mark Cohen of Congress Hall, 888-944-1816).

From Modern Bride Southern New Jersey

Demi Sweet

There's nothing as seductive as a course of pint-size desserts, to be passed after the cake-cutting. Guests who'd naturally say no to an entire éclair succumb when the treats are tiny and tempting.

From Brides magazine

Delicious Decoy

Cut costs by displaying a small, beautifully decorated wedding cake for the ceremonial cutting, then serving your guests from sheet cakes tucked out of sight.

From Brides magazine

Custom Server

Cut into your wedding cake with custom-designed serving pieces that match your decor.

From Brides magazine

Signature Dessert

Personalize your wedding cake by asking your confectioner to paint your monogram on each tier. Or cover the cake table with a monogrammed cloth.
