If there’s one cake style that can both inspire awe in wedding guests and strike fear into the heart of cake decorators, it’s the unstoppable chandelier cake.

It all kicked off with Hollywood star, Kaley Cuoco’s spectacular suspended wedding cake created by The Butter End Cakery but has now inspired brides the world over to turn their wedding cake into a feat of cake engineering/ performance art to mesmerize wedding guests.

The outstanding work of Caroline Nagorcka: Sculptress of Cakes is featured above left in a chic pale grey and silver accented tiers. To the left is the chandelier cake design created for the Kaley Cuoco wedding (and also featured below).

If hanging a delicately crafted wedding cake upside down is not your idea of cake fun, then there is another way to create a chandelier-like effect – by building a “floating” effect perspex cake separator hung with crystals – it creates a super glamorous wedding cake display and is one of the signature wedding cake styles of UK designer, Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium, featured below.
