Many brides grow tired quickly when picking out their wedding cake. After all, how many variations of white cake and white icing can one person eat? Wedding guests may feel the same way, especially if it is a busy wedding season.

If you feel like if you’ve seen one wedding cake, you have seen them all, then try out the following tips to make your wedding cake stand out from the crowd.

• White Flowers on White Cake. When you want to add a unique elegance to your cake, try white frosting flowers and embellishments. You and your guests will be delightfully surprised, as white on white really does stand out.
• Be bold. Choose bright, eye catching colors to draw attention to your wedding cake. Dramatic blue or black can really make a statement. If the colors match your wedding theme, so much the better.

• Dress it up. Add a small bouquet of flowers to the top of your wedding cake for a pleasant surprise. Wrap a bright ribbon around each layer of your cake for a touch of pizazz. Sprinkle rose petals around and over your cake for a light, airy touch.

No matter which technique you use to make your wedding cake stand out, you will be pleasantly surprised by all the attention your cake will bring. The wedding cake is the grand centerpiece of the wedding reception, and your will be, with these tips!
