Icy Blue Winter Wedding Cakes


Icy Blue Winter Wedding Cakes

Ice blue is a wonderful alternative to white for a winter wedding cake. It is still quite easy to create a frosty feeling, and the color is such a nice addition to a winter or snowflake theme wedding. Learn how to design an ice blue wedding cake for your own winter wedding reception.

This cake is fabulous. Piped snowflakes decorate the blue frosting, while sprays of frosted pine cones add dimension and texture. This wedding cake design would be just as pretty for a rustic wedding as for a traditional “Winter Wonderland” theme. Love it!

Flashes of brilliant red cardinals flying against the bare winter trees is one of my favorite sights in wintertime. Perhaps then, it is no wonder that this blue wedding cake with red cardinals is one of my fall time favorite winter cakes. The little cardinals perch on their white branches with red berries in recreation of a classic winter scene. And oh my, are those cardinals glittery? Sheer perfection!

Winter does not have to mean an obviously seasonal theme. Just as you can plan a winter ceremony with white flowers instead of red roses, you can definitely have a seasonally appropriate cake without incorporating snowflakes. A great example of that is this lovely Wedgewood blue ombre wedding cake. The design is inspired by a classic Jasperware pattern, and I adore how each tier has its own unique delicate texture and pattern. Like crystal bridal necklaces or elegant black tie attire, some wedding designs are perfect at any time of the year.

If you like just a hint of sparkle in your wedding accessories and details, you will enjoy this pretty blue cake. Square tiers are decorated with Royal icing piped in a frost design. A dusting of edible glitter drifts softly down the tiers, enhancing the icy twinkle, while tiny crystals sparkle from within the frost motif. A neat thing about this particular cake is that the frost motif is quite seasonal, but also fairly subtle. From a distance, it looks like a classic scroll or swag motif; it is only upon closer inspection that it becomes clear that the design is indeed a wintery one. It is a nice option for the bride who wants a wedding cake which is wintery, but not in such an obvious fashion.
 Arent they fabulous!!!???
