Red is a bold, hot and passionate color that can be used for your wedding decor, it’s very compatible and can be rocked in winter, fall or summer. If you are planning to use red in your wedding decor, perhaps you’ll want a red wedding cake, too, and I have some gorgeous red wedding cake examples to get you inspired.
Red Velvet Wedding Cakes
Popular in the southern U.S., red velvet cake is a vanilla cake with a few tablespoons of cocoa powder and red food coloring mixed in. Vinegar and buttermilk bring some acid to the batter, adding a bit of tanginess that balances out the sweet cream cheese-butter frosting that is standard. The buttermilk and vinegar give the cake that tender, light, and fluffy texture. Red velvet cake is also usually paired with white cream-cheese frosting. The white contrast highlights the lush red color, while the tanginess of the cream cheese plays off the buttermilk so well. A naked red velvet wedding cake is a very popular idea for a summer or fall wedding, it’s usually decorated with some dip, fresh fruit, berries and blooms and is ideal for a woodland or rustic wedding.
