Black and White Wedding Cakes

Creative black and white wedding cakes are a great choice because they are so versatile when it comes to decorating them.

The beauty of these eye-catching creations is that you could use any accent color on the wonderfully neutral background.

Take a moment to imagine each of the amazing wedding cakes featured below paired with accents of hot or pale pink, aqua or royal blue, zesty orange, majestic purple, vibrant yellow or lime green silk flowers! The possibilities are endless.

Beautiful Cake for a White, Black and Red Wedding Theme

A glamorous design that can be used for black and white, black and red or a red rose themed wedding.

Two simple square tiers are covered in white fondant with the added accent of a black ribbon band wrapped around each layer.

The vibrant red roses that top the cake - along with the scattering of deep red rose petals across the table - is what makes this cake so striking and eye-catching. A great choice for a modern and sophisticated look.

Unique Wedding Black and White Wedding Cakes

This black and white wedding cake has it all!

Four tiers and they're all uniquely different. The bottom tier features a round cake with... round circles iced in black frosting.

The second tier is a square shape with black stripes gracing the white icing. The third tier is a round cake featuring black Swiss dots.

Finally, the top layer is a square cake with accents of graceful swirls. As a final touch, the vibrant red flowers really make this wedding cake pop!

Elegant Ruffles

Here's another interesting sweet creation and a lovely choice for those of you who are looking for something a bit different from the norm.

Ruffled formed icing spirals down this cone-shaped cake in alternating "tiers" of white, black and white.

Personally, I would use this as a display cake as it would be rather difficult to cut, for obvious reasons. At a small intimate wedding, it may not be a big problem, but for a large wedding, it would be a good idea to have a slab cake to cut for the guest slices.

Five Tiered Square Cake

Delicate black scroll work decorates three of the white tiers of this gorgeous cake, while white Swiss dots highlight the two black tiers. What a truly elegant display!

The contrasting scroll work combined with the Swiss dots create a modern look, yet the overall look of the cake implies an old-world art-deco impression.

The vivid pink of the roses provides a striking contrast to the neutral background. Just think of how your own floral colors will look paired up with this design!

The simple monogrammed topper is a perfect touch to finish off this cake.

An Easy DIY Cake Design

For those of you who wish to make your own wedding cake, here is a three tier design that is simple to put together.

Each layer is covered in white icing and wrapped with a black ribbon band. The top and bottom edges of each layer are decorated with a piped-icing shell design, which is easy to do.

Any cake topper would look lovely on this creation. In this case, the monogram wedding cake topper was handmade by the bride's father, which adds a wonderful personal touch to his daughter's wedding day.

Dramatic Stenciled Wedding Cake

Here's something a little bit different to take the place of the usual black and white wedding cakes we often see.

This lovely creation is covered in a white fondant and then stenciled with black designs. Each tier is then finished off with a black ribbon band.

It would most certainly be a beautiful and dramatic focal point at your reception that your guests will "ooo" and "ahh" over!
