Simple cakes have their own je ne sais quois about them, but there’s something to be said for over-the-top elegance as well. The following wedding cakes exude aesthetic appeal and are pretty darn delicious, too!

Can you imagine this elegant cake at a winter wedding? It’s gorgeous! The stunning 5-tier cake is covered in dark blue fondant, and edible snowflakes adorn every layer with perfection. For the finishing touch, a customized monogram of the couple’s initials was placed on the middle tier.

This contemporary wedding cake features six square shaped tiers covered in fondant. Gorgeous sugar paste orchids and lilies in alternating pink and white hues add the perfect elegant touch. I can imagine this cake being used for a formal wedding in the spring, can’t you?

If you’re looking for a gorgeous wedding cake for your spring/summer wedding, this four tier buttercream confection would be just perfect. A delicate purple ivy pattern adorns each layer, while fresh flowers are used for the finishing decorative touches. Beautiful!

Chocolate wedding cakes can be just as elegant as their counterparts, and this confection is no exception! Four square shaped tiers are covered in milk chocolate ganache and decorated with a pink dot motif all over. Elegant pink ribbons (with bows!) help break up the design, and a cluster of pink roses tops the cake with perfection.

When simple just isn’t enough, these wedding cakes can help inspire you to find your own elegant cake for the big day. Yum!
