Traditional wedding cakes are still popular for many couples, despite a trend toward more contemporary wedding cakes, like naked cakes or stacked cupcakes.

Multi-layered cakes are what are typically offered at wedding receptions as wedding cakes.

The wedding cake is frequently white or ivory in hue to represent purity and the newlyweds' new beginning.

A whimsical cake is a type of cake that is designed to look imaginative, playful, and sometimes even a bit surreal. These cakes are often decorated with bright colors, unusual shapes, and unexpected design elements, such as 3D figurines, textured fondant, and intricate piping.

Contemporary wedding cakes often incorporate bold colors, geometric shapes, and creative textures. They can be minimalist and understated or elaborate and ornate, depending on the preferences of the couple. Some popular design elements include metallic accents, hand-painted details, and unusual floral arrangements.
