Multiple-layered cakes aren’t always necessary for weddings. Well, yeah, those extra layers certainly give some luxurious and exquisite feel, but if you don’t strive for this or/and looking for ways to cut down your budget, boldly choose single layer cakes. They can be no less eye-catching and pretty and they certainly have all possibilities to make a statement and be noticeable and tasty. With such a simple structure of only one layer you have more opportunities in decorating and there is simply no chance to overdo with it. Think over using charming custom cake toppers, lushly decorate the cake with flowers, use a fabulous standing tall, etc. We’ve picked our favorite one-tier cakes examples to get you inspired, so be sure to check out!
Wedding Cakes With Blooms And Greenery
The most trendy idea of decorating a wedding cake that has almost become classics is decorating it with blooms or greenery, which can be real or sugar. Sugar blooms and greenery make your cake look more refined and more formal, white fresh blooms, especially with greenery, make it fresher and brighter. If you go for only greenery, the cake will get a refreshing modern touch and you may also add fruits or berries. Embrace your wedding season or location going for various combos – succulents and greenery for a desert wedding, fir and ferns for a Christmas wedding, subtle pastel flowers or a single large one for a spring wedding.

Wedding Cakes With Other Decor
There are many other ways to top and decorate a cake if greenery and blooms aren’t your way. First of all, you may skip almost any decor playing with colors – going for an ombre effect, watercolor, which is very trendy, or trying color blocking. Second, you may test metallic leaf – copper, silver and gold will give your cake a shiny look. Drip is a very fresh idea for a modern cake, and there are various kinds of it, and they all look cool, especially on naked cakes. You may also give a catchy look to your cake with toppers – with your names, monograms, banners, photos or embrace the location or season again – mussel shells for a coastal wedding, fresh berries and pistachios for a summer or fall wedding, fresh citrus slices for a tropical fest.
