It can be agreed by just about everyone who has ever attended a wedding at some point - the cake is about so much more than just dessert. The wedding cake is décor, a meeting place, and part of a sort of piece de resistance package; along with the dress and ring.

A winter wedding is a great excuse for going out in search of an ornate cake that embraces the beauty of the season and seamlessly fits with the other aesthetic and gastronomic picks you’ve already made, or prepared to make.

Check out the following for inspiration and details that’ll help you to speak clearly about what you want when on the hunt for the perfect ornate wedding cake for the winter wonderland that will be your wedding and following reception.

Enduring, Trendy, Colorways

A creamy blush pink and black make a fabulous combination. Think the signature Chanel suit or the cakes pictured here. Some fashion forecasts for the coming fall and winter season have predicted quite the reemergence of popularity for the color combination.

Why not translate the latest in styling trends into something meant to look great and please the sweet tooth?

Beautiful, Simplistic, Ornate

Ornate doesn’t have to mean gaudy. A simplistic tiered cake with gold accents (always a wedding winner) and white flowers arranged in a style similar to climbing ivy is a big yes.

It’s the perfect after Labor Day white.

Classic Sweet

Ornate and modern don’t have to go hand in hand. Look to established bakeries for sweet treats that are beautifully decorated and bring to mind something that looks like it was made for the wedding of studio era Hollywood stars.

It’s like eating a little fairytale.

Embracing Color

It is easy to associate a liberal use of color with seasons like summer and spring, but these things aren’t exclusive. Un-imaginable artistry can be brought to your cake in a painterly way if you’re able to open yourself to a couple more options from the color wheel.

Nearly all the cakes pictured here would be perfect for your winter wedding.

The Artisan Touch

A sort of homemade but haute cuisine eligible look is perfect for winter cakes. Layered, with a choice of your favorite dessert filling or topping between each thin sheet, and toped with flowers, seasonal berries, maybe even a sprinkling of snowy confectionary sugar; you’ve got one of the most beautiful and delicious wedding cakes anyone will have ever tried.

Feature your layered cake at the top of a traditional, or not so traditional, tiered cake for an easy and fabulous twist!

A Great Variety

Thinking of a gigantic tiered cake? Gold details are a great winter wedding embellishment, as mentioned earlier, and varying details aren’t the only thing you can do to put your own spin on something that has been done many times before.

Consider a different cake for each tier. Guests will love that!

We hope that you’ve found immense inspiration for selecting the ornate wedding cake you’ve dreamed about for your winter wedding. If you have, or if you find yourself better able to understand and describe what you’re looking for – share with someone who made need little visual inspo and interpretation as well!
