Wedding Cakes in Black

black wedding cakes by Pasteles Alma and Ron Ben Israel

Black-tie has always been synonymous with stylish events, so when it comes to the latest wedding cake colour trends, black icing is sure to wow as the centrepiece of a glamorous wedding reception.

Above we have two chic and elegant examples of black wedding cakes in fabulous, unique designs by Germany’s Pasteles Alma (above left) complemented with dusky pink petal ruffles and by New York’s, Ron Ben Israel dressed with beautiful floral appliques.

Whether finished with simple floral decor or decorative gold motifs, a black iced wedding cake makes a eye-catching centrepiece, with perfect examples below from Innovative Cake Designs (left) and the Little Teacup Bakery (right).
