Try a Unique Shape

Nowhere is it written in stone that your wedding cake must be white. Sure, your friend’s white wedding cake might have looked gorgeous, but why choose the same design when there are so many options to choose from? You can choose a cake shaped like a pumpkin, a petal, or even a hexagon. Square cakes may have a sleek and modern look, but they are most definitely not unique.

Add Fall Flowers, Leaves, and Elements

If there’s one thing a wedding can never have enough of, it is flowers. The more flowers you use, the better a venue looks. You can integrate flowers like Japanese anemones, camellias, asters, and perennial sunflowers into your cake. You can also add elements like acorns, leaves, and other fall elements. Request your baker to make flowers that resemble those on your bouquet. Some bakers ‘paint’ flowers on cakes using edible dye.

Choose Fall Flavors

Optimize the season by choosing a cake with a distinctive fall flavor. For example, you can select a spice cake with blackberry filling or a pumpkin cake with whipped cream frosting. If you prefer a lighter cake that still brings fall to mind, choose almond lemon cake with lemon frosting.

Pick a Fall-Inspired Color

When it comes to creating a fall-inspired cake, color is everything. Pick fall-inspired hues like red, yellow, brown, and burnt orange – you can never go wrong with these colors. However, try not to go overboard by mixing too many fall colors. You can use one color on the cake and others on the decorations.

Traditional white

Be it summer or winter wedding, you can never go wrong with a classic white, three-tiered cake. To reflect the fall theme, ask your cake designer to decorate it with various renditions of autumn leaves. Alternatively, dark twigs will look very elegant on the white cake. You can add an accent of bright orange or red sparingly on the top or few places on the cake.

Brown wedding cakes

Brown colored cakes add a contemporary element to the wedding. Contrast the deep brown with beautiful pastel colors such as purple, green, and blue for a perfect autumn wedding cake. Moreover, the flavor of the cake is also a seasonal item. In fact, fall is the only time of the year when a chocolate flavored cake is perfectly acceptable, and expected. You can opt for a spiced version or one with rum or apples.

Autumn flower wedding cakes

Capture the romantic spirit of the season with flowers in autumn’s nostalgic colors. You can either use fresh flowers or confectionery blooms to decorate your wedding cake. If you don’t want to put them directly on the tiers, you can pop them inside a large glass bowl and use it as a cake stand. A simple cake adorned with fall lilies, asters, or zinnias completes your autumn wedding theme.
