Gorgeous Orange Wedding Cakes

These orange wedding cakes will easily become the focal centerpiece at your reception.

With their deep and beautiful colors, several of the wedding cake decorating ideas that follow can also be used for fall weddings.

You'll also see a few examples are perfect for a tropical beach setting using pastel peach colors or vibrant, tropical flowers.

Brown and Orange Elegance

This 3-tiered beauty is a good choice for an evening or autumn wedding reception. See how the white marzipan icing provides a beautifully smooth effect to show off the chocolate bands?

Simply decorated, the wedding cake topper is a bouquet of orange and yellow roses with small sprays of gold and red berries peeking out from between the blooms.

If you're wanting a cake that says "classic elegance" - this is it.

To show off your "reception centerpiece", scatter some rustic orange rose petals around the table and add a circle of votive candles.

Other types of flowers that could be used would be chrysanthemums, carnations, or dahlias.

Orange and Pink Springtime Cake

A simple white cake is rimmed with white icing balls and a lovely scroll design.

Orange and pink roses are the main focus of the flowers, with white and purple floral accents.

This cake is an excellent choice for a spring or summer wedding with it's bright, fresh look.

Stylishly Simple

So many orange wedding cakes are decorated to the hilt with designs, colors and huge flower accents that, by contrast, this cake is quite striking in its simplicity.

Covered in simple white frosting, a line of royal icing beads accent the base of each tier. The only other adornment are the iced initials added to the top cake layer.

To finish the cake off with some color, a scattering of blossoms is "sprinkled" from top to bottom.

If you've been having trouble picking a cake design that you like, this may be the solution. Just use your own wedding flowers instead.

Tropical Fun

Now here's a cake that reflects a sense of humor. This simple two-tiered cake is decorated with bright orange lilies and a fun representation of the bride and groom... and she's carrying a bouquet of lilies too!

This is a good choice for a tropical wedding theme.

Other large floral varieties that have a bright orange hue would be Campion (they look stunning paired with blue or lemon-yellow blooms), Poppies, or Gerbera Daisies.

Sea Shell Sensation

A stunning four-tiered cake covered in ribbed white icing, adorned with strands of icing "pearls" and complimented with an orange ruffle accent on each tier.

White lilies with orange centers and green leaves are a very pretty touch. Finished off with an orange scalloped shell holding two wedding bands, this cake is a great choice for a beach or sea-themed wedding.

How to change it up? You could use real lilies instead of rolled fondant flowers. Another option is to decorate with candied (or real) seashells and finish the top with a pile of "sea shells." There's also some nice shell toppers that would suit this style of cake.

Flowers to consider instead of lilies are: Plumeria, Orchids, Hibiscus or Zinnias - these are all available in orange hues of course - and if they're made from rolled fondant or sugar candy, they can be any color that you wish!

Autumn Daisies

Thinking of having a wedding this fall? Here's a fantastic choice for an orange wedding cakes that implies autumn harvest, Thanksgiving and country living.

This is a three tiered cake that's been plainly frosted with white icing, but left in a "rough" state rather than being carefully smoothed.

Orange and deep red Gerbera daisies grace the top of the cake while additional blossoms, including a of couple of golden yellow flowers, accent the bottom and sides.

The raffia wrapped and tied between each tier gives it a rustic, down home feel.

Pretty Pastels of Springtime

What a unique look for a wedding cake! Rather than you're typical two tiers, each one of these "tiers" is a separate cake of its own.

The bell-shaped cakes are each covered in white marzipan, then a peach tinted layer is molded on top to look like the open overskirt of a dress.

Soft peach and yellow tinted fondant flowers and a white organza bow finish the design.

The pretty pastels are wonderfully suited for a springtime wedding.
