Wedding showers are filled with excitement and laughter, bringing friends and family together to celebrate the bride-to-be. Sweet treats help make this day extra special and custom cakes create a wonderful centerpiece to gather around. Choosing the right cake can set the tone of the event and create wonderful memories for all of the guests.
Wedding Shower Cake Design Tips
When designing a wedding shower cake, there are a couple of key elements you should consider. Incorporating them into your cake complements your overall theme and the shower’s aesthetic.
Color Palette
Ideally, your wedding shower cake should match your theme, unless you prefer to have something that stands out on its own. Soft pastels, vibrant hues, or classic white, gold, or silver are popular choices that create a cohesive look. Whether you prefer delicate muted tones or bold, eye-catching colors, they’ll pop when harmonizing with other decor around the venue.
Tiers
Wedding shower cakes are usually smaller than standard wedding cakes. However, adding multiple tiers to a smaller cake adds height and impact. Plus, adding tiers allows space for additional fillings to complement the cake crumb.
Custom Toppers
Personalized cake toppers add a unique touch to any cake design. Monograms, figurines, and other meaningful symbols can be used to reflect the bride’s personality and style. The additional height from a topper adds another layer of dimension, allowing the cake to have a true centerpiece look on your dessert table.
Wedding Shower Cake Ideas
Floral Cakes
Floral cakes are extremely popular right now, especially for weddings and wedding showers. Incorporating fresh or edible flowers or floral decorations adds a touch of whimsy and natural elegance. Use the same flowers throughout your wedding shower decor or choose complementary colored petals for the cake to create a cohesive look.
Themed Cakes
Tea parties, garden parties, and brunch are just a few trending wedding shower themes. Use your theme to inspire your cake design, such as selecting flavors that nod to your theme or a cake design that infuses on-theme visual elements.
Ombre Cakes
Ombre cakes are a simple yet visually stunning cake design option. They feature a gradient color effect that transitions from light to dark. This style can be elevated with piping work or textured frosting to create a sophisticated cake with dynamic dimensions.
Heart-Shaped Cakes
Heart-shaped cakes are another trendy choice. Often paired with vintage-style pipework, heart-shaped cakes can range from simple to elaborate to reflect the bride’s style and the celebration.
Cupcake Tower
Need cupcake ideas for your wedding shower instead? A cupcake tower allows for multiple flavor options, simple yet effective designs, and grandiosity without relying on too much cake. Grabbing cupcakes from a tower is easy for guests too, and they won’t require utensils.
