Cheese wedding cake
We know you've probably seen it all over Pinterest, but the cheesecake topper has become a huge hit with wedding planners!
This cake can be an ideal alternative for a couple who doesn't really like sweets. Plus, the fruit topping this wedding cake pairs perfectly with the cheesy flavor!

Celebration of sweets
A festive cake is a symbol of the well-being and “sweet” life of the newlyweds. Freedom in design and choice of filling allows you to realize any celebration idea. Let's pay special attention to the sweet handsome man!
A starting point
Where to begin? Based on weight! On average, each guest should have 250 grams of the finished product. If you plan to leave the treat for the next day or give it to guests with you, the figure increases to 300 grams for each person.
The design of the product largely depends on the total weight. Are you preparing a lavish wedding with a large number of guests? Then the cake should be impressive and multi-tiered. Are you planning a cozy dinner with your closest loved ones? A small and stylish mousse cake will come in handy.
Filling
Newlyweds need to remember that the cake should not only be beautiful. It must be tasty.
Traditional sponge cakes give way to delicious confectionery delights. Chocolate, milk, nut and fruit cakes conquer the wedding table.
A layer of fresh berries and fruits will add a fresh, perky note. Chocolate ganache will satisfy those with a sweet tooth. “Red Velvet” looks bright and original - a delicious cake with bright red cake layers and snow-white cream. The cut is impressive!
As for the cream, preference should be given to light, delicious fillings. Whipped cream has been out of fashion for a long time. Cottage cheese, cheese, sour cream creams are infinitely tender and tasty.
A new product in the confectionery industry is mousse cakes. The delicate taste and perfect “cosmic” cut impress the imagination. There is one “BUT” - such delights are performed exclusively in light weight.
Single-tier wedding cake 2022: photos, ideas
Brides and cake designers alike have been increasingly choosing cakes with simpler, more modern "single tier" designs lately.
A single tier wedding cake looks unique as part of a wedding celebration and is also (importantly) the most affordable way to have multiple wedding cakes in different styles and flavors throughout your wedding.
A few more tips
Have you read the article and already started looking for a pastry chef? Take a breath and read a couple more important recommendations.
- The tasting set will allow you to choose a delicious filling. After trying several small cakes, the newlyweds will surely be able to determine the most successful combination.
- Monitor prices for pastry chef services in your city. A good cake made from natural ingredients cannot be cheap.
- Try to exclude strong allergens from the dessert - nuts, citrus fruits. They are acceptable for decoration.
- If you plan to organize a candy bar, then the sweets for it should be similar to the cake in design and style.
Donut wedding cake 2022
Don't want a traditional cake at your wedding? 2022 offers an interesting trend!
Plus, this sponge cake (or tower, we should say) is just another way you can serve donuts to your guests in style and taste.
Hand painted
At the peak of popularity are cakes with complex hand painting. They look exclusive because each design is unique. These can be complex floral or ethnic patterns, nature paintings or love scenes. The main thing is that the design matches the overall style of the celebration.
Mille-feuille wedding cake 2022: photos, ideas
Mille feuille cake means “a thousand layers” in French. This cake consists of many thin layers of phyllo pastry, frosted with Chantilly cream and usually decorated with fruit or chocolate.
The cake resembles the well-known and very popular Napoleon in Russia. The main difference is that the puff pastry cakes are not allowed to get wet - the cake is laid out right before serving.
As an option for a wedding Mille-feuille, the layers are coated not only with custard, whipped cream, jam or fruit puree, but with savory fillings, for example, cheese; or even spicy toppings!
Decor with butter cream
Not all modern brides like buttercream, considering it too greasy and heavy. But decor made from such cream is a completely different matter. A light cream will not produce a bas-relief in the spirit of antiquity with hundreds of tiny details or a convex pattern similar to a paper pattern cut out using a stencil. Buttercream opens up new horizons for imagination – yours and your pastry chef’s. And this is again a treat for art lovers. Your cake will become an art object that everyone will want to take a closer look at!
Crockenbush wedding cake 2022: photos, ideas
Another unusual wedding cake option is the Crockenbush - a cone-shaped tower of custard profiteroles with a cream filling and decorated with caramel.
Geometry
Cakes decorated with balls, rings or cubes of different sizes acquire a futuristic appearance. Sometimes geometric shapes are also filled with filling, like a cake, so this decoration can replace the second or third tier.

Wedding rectangular cakes: photos, ideas of geometric shapes
For the bride who wants a modern silhouette for her wedding cake and wants to ditch the traditional round tiers, there is an alternative option: tall and narrow single-tier rectangular cakes will be more popular this year and next.
Colored brush strokes
This design is popular due to its versatility. Colored strokes will easily fit into the style of the celebration and will be a budget alternative to fresh flowers and chocolate figures. The cake design can be adapted to any color scheme.

Watercolor wedding cake 2022
A wedding cake with watercolor strokes will look stylish, beautiful, unusual, and fashionable.
Or colorful, artistically designed cream/mastic
Pressed flowers
Pressed flowers are an excellent alternative to the already boring classics with live peonies or roses. This decor looks simpler, but more interesting. Cornflowers, nasturtiums, pansies and rose petals, which can be eaten, are usually used for decorations.
