Valentine's Day Wedding Theme Cake

The most popular time of year in which couples are choosing to exchange their vows is right around Valentine's Day. There is just no better way to say “I love you” then with help from a few candied hearts, Cupid, and crimson roses.

This theme is typically reserved for the more romantic bride and groom. It doesn't get more passionate than two intertwined hearts atop a red and white wedding cake trimmed in pink fondant lace. This is a nice theme because it intersects with a few other themes quite easily. For example, you could combine a princess cake topper with a heart design with little difficulty.

It's not incumbent that you keep in line with the standard red and white Valentine's Day colors. For some balance, you could integrate greens, yellows and blues. It's already excessive if you're having your wedding on February 14 as it is, and thus decking the cake and reception hall with hundreds of hearts and arrows will just be overwhelming.

A classic and sophisticated way to convey the Valentine's Day theme without going overboard, is having an exquisite, three-tiered white wedding cake topped with a dollop of gumpaste red roses. By utilizing red in subtle ways you can achieve an element of elegance and still retain that sentimental and romantic feeling. Another idea is to have the bakery construct a cake covered in pale pink fondant, trimmed with cream-colored latticework, and wreathed in tiny white sugar daisies with red hearts as the center.
