Use red accents on your wedding accessories and of course, on your wedding cake! A classic black and white color scheme can sometimes be a bit stark and boring if it isn't done correctly, but you can avoid the "boring" label by using an accent color like red. You can see in the montage of photos below that when it comes to the cake you can go in a wide range of directions.

Want a bit of whimsy? Consider a topsy-turvy style wedding cake where the layers appear misaligned and seem to tilt as though they might fall over at any minute.  For good cake bakers, the threat of a great topple is truly an illusion.  Another way to bring in a whimsical touch is through the use of interesting patterns such as retro polka dots, diamonds, or stripes.

Prefer to have a classic style? No problem, use red roses as accents on and around the cake.  Or use a classic pattern that is applied on the white fondant such as toile, damask or any type of elegant scrollwork.  The cake in the lower left corner of the collage that utilizes pearl-shaped modeling chocolate along with black bows around each layer would be a great choice for a classic, elegant black and white wedding.

If you had a Las Vegas wedding and are throwing a celebration party when you get home, a black and white cake with red accents will tie in the Vegas theme perfectly.  After all cards, dice, and poker chips all play off a black, white and red color scheme.

A classic cake or one with a bit of whimsy?
No matter which one you choose, red is always a great choice with black and white.

There are so many design variations available that you can have a unique and extraordinary black and white cake that has an air of sophistication too. In the photo collage below, you can see some of my favorite black and white wedding cakes. I've tried to choose a good cross-section of different designs so that you can see all the great options, patterns, and themes.  Consider a white fondant or icing base with black accents such as swirls, polka dots, black ribbon, a silhouette of the bride and groom, stripes and even silver/black/faux diamond jewels.  If you want some whimsy or drama, how about zebra stripes or large black feathers? The options are really endless.

And don't forget that black and white pairs perfectly with red, pink, lime green or yellow so if you plan to use one of these accent colors in your other wedding accessories, you should carry it through to the cake as well.  In future posts, I will have collages that show black and white cakes with each one of these colors.  Be sure to check back in the next few weeks!
