Avoiding the usual round tiers in favor of square tiers is a simple approach to modernize your wedding cake. A modern, pared-down confection has a fresh and sophisticated feel about it, with clean, sharp lines and ideal 90-degree angles. Wedding cakes with square layers are very eye-catching, so if you’re organizing a modern-style party, a modern cake will go wonderfully with the theme.
Top the cake with cascading blossoms or paint it in pastel colours watercolor-style for a more feminine and romantic spin on the geometric treat. Consider an all-white cake with a single wispy flower topping or a sprinkling of berries for a more understated look. Choose an Art Deco-inspired cake for more sparkle and glamour, or add acrylic stackers for a luxurious effect. Darker colors and concrete-style cakes and stands can even be edgy and urban.
Take a peek at some of our favorite square-shaped confections, which range from geometric motifs to elegant ruffles.
