Black & white patterns

Pixilated flowers

The new way to add flowers to your cake? Dot by dot-here, purple flowers piped onto a three-tiered, white fondant cake add a contemporary feel to a classic shape.

Crimped tiers

To get a wedding cake like this one (with rolled fondant, royal icing embroidery and gold, crimped tiers) that both steals the spotlight and looks the part, send your cake baker a copy of your invite to use as a guide.

Lace-inspired fondant

How do you keep an eyelet-inspired, all-white cake from looking too delicate and dainty? Decorate it with alternating, abstract patterns.
