While white may be traditional, playful pastel wedding cakes can totally steal the show with their baby-soft hues, intricate designs, and amazing flavors. Whether inspired by spring, a dreamy destination, or simply your favorite colors, a pastel dessert will be a hit with your guests any time of year and at locations near and far. Consider them proof that more color (albeit subdued) is always a good idea—anything else would pale in comparison.
If you feel like these confections are too pretty to cut into, rest assured: the inside of your treat can be made to look just as pretty as the outside. Just imagine slicing open a pretty cake adorned with blush-colored roses only to discover matching layers filled with a bright buttercream, or a butter yellow fondant-covered number with lemon pound cake inside. You might even find inspiration for the design of the outside based on the flavors you choose within.
And though the colors might be muted, they'll certainly pack a punch when used for sugar flowers, fresh blooms, patterned fondant, painted buttercream, and the myriad methods employed by cake masters in the sweet treats that follow. Whether it's a petite and modern or massive and over-the-top, a pastel wedding cake can be equal parts charming and impactful. Need proof? Just look at this MCakes Sweets treat, which was hand-crafted with a bevy of lifelike sugar flowers in shades of pastel pink, blue, yellow, and peach. The design's details felt just like the actual florals used in the décor and bouquets. The cake's white background made for a great canvas to showcase the combination of soft colors was totally fresh but still forever timeless.
Ahead, more of the most beautiful pastel cakes you've ever seen.
Out of This World
For this cake, Stevi Auble of Hey There, Cupcake! drew inspiration from elements of space—like the milky way, galaxies, stars, and the moon—and lightened them up for a change of pace from the normal midnight blue background. Hand-painted brush strokes overlaid with gold and white splattered paints and edible gold leaf stars in varying sizes make this one look light as air.
Oceanside Dreams
We're all for this water-inspired confection by Vanilla Bake Shop for a beachside celebration. The light blue and teal details look just like the edge of an ocean.
