Lace & Metallics

metallic silver and lace wedding cake by Yummy Cupcakes and Cakes

Vintage lace and antique effect metallic finishes make a wonderful pairing for a glamorous wedding cake design.

Our stunning feature cake above combines a fabulous mesh lace bordered with baroque style flourishes and an “aged” effect silver metallic bottom tier in a terrific design by Sydney’s Yummy Cupcakes and Cakes.

While a metallic finish usually adds a vintage touch, it can also lend a contemporary feel to a smart wedding cake design, with a perfect example (below left)  in the beautiful blush and ivory wedding cake by Sweet Disposition Cakes.
