Sorry not sorry for making you feel peckish today, I’m drooling over all of the delicious cakes in this article and I challenge you not to do the same!<\/p>\n

If the time has come to choose your cake and you don’t fancy a traditional icing or a rustic naked cake, maybe buttercream<\/strong> is the one for you. There are loads of different ways to style this tasty dessert so you really can go wild or keep it simple, whatever suits your themes.<\/p>\n

Here is our run-down of the different styles of buttercream cakes<\/strong> and how they might fit into your wedding.<\/p>\n

Stunning<\/em> Buttercream Wedding Cakes<\/h2>\n

Classic Inspiration<\/h3>\n

First up, we look at the classic buttercream<\/strong>. From those that are wearing only a stitch more than our naked cake<\/a> friends to those which have more of a fully iced look. All you need to do is adorn with a delightful cake topper and whatever decoration fits the theme of your day.<\/p>\n

Of course, flowers and cakes go together beautifully and you can really make an impact by covering the tiers in floral pretty whether real or fake.<\/p>\n

Drip Cakes<\/h3>\n

A trend we are seeing more and more of is this dessert favourite, drip cake<\/strong>. It has such a sumptuous look anyway and on top of a buttercream base, it’s very hard to resist!<\/p>\n

Simple Style<\/h3>\n

Sometimes fuss-free is the order of the day. One colour buttercream<\/strong> and some simple adornments with a topper or no make for a gorgeous cake table.<\/p>\n

Metallic Inspiration<\/h3>\n

Another trend which shows no sign of going anywhere is metallic touches throughout the wedding. Give your cake a touch of style with edible metallic leaf like these beauties.<\/p>\n

Rustic Log Look<\/h3>\n

This is one of my absolute favourites for an outdoorsy rustic wedding. The buttercream itself can be manipulated to look like wood and the effect is just fabulous. Just add a woodland animal cake topper!<\/p>\n
