Elaborate Cake Ideas

Fondant wedding cake ideas can be as elaborate as your budget allows. If you plan to honeymoon in Rome, think about using a Coliseum-shaped wedding cake covered with stone-colored fondant. If you first met your fiancé at a rock concert, use a music stage cake decorated with fondant figurines of the band that was playing. If you both love rock-climbing, order a fondant cake shaped and painted to look like a climbing wall with a fondant bride and groom rappelling down.
Fancy Cake Ideas
-
Go wild with embellishments to create a fancy fondant wedding cake. Cover a four-tier cake with lilac fondant embossed with silver butterflies to create a base for a glittering wedding cake. Scatter small, flat, flower-shaped glass beads across the lower third of each cake tier. Use several matching beads secured to long pins to stick into the center of the top tier. Add a spiky bouquet of lilacs among the pins to create an asymmetrical cake topper.
Cover a seven-tier wedding cake with aqua fondant on the odd-numbered tiers and tangerine fondant on the even-numbered tiers. Cover the aqua tiers with a delicate lace pattern in white icing. Add a thick strip of checkerboard-patterned white icing to each tangerine tier. Use long curls of fondant ribbon in white, aqua and tangerine as the cake topper.

Traditional Cake Ideas
-
If you prefer a traditional theme for your fondant wedding cake, you still have a variety of options. Cover a round three-tiered wedding cake with a flat white fondant sheet. Add thin strips of pearly white fondant around the base of each tier and loop the strips to create a small, multi-looped bow in the middle of the cake. Add some pearl beads scattered across the bow and around the bottom of each tier.
Decorate an ivory fondant--covered tiered wedding cake with a scattering of pink and red fondant roses for a traditional wedding cake with a romantic theme. Or cover a tiered wedding cake with a sheet of green fondant and decorate the top of each tier with real small white daisies for a sweet style or real small yellow sunflowers for a country style.
Modern Cake Ideas
-
Use sleek lines to create a fondant wedding cake with a modern style. Stack five rectangular cakes into a tier covered with a smooth sheet of cream fondant. Scatter black fondant swirls over the cake. Use the first letters of the first names of the bride and groom to create monogram letters from black fondant and use these as the cake toppers instead of using traditional bride and groom figurines.
