When it comes to modern marriages, we've come a long way from the days of traditional white weddings with four tiers of fruit cake on display in the corner. Now we're making our own traditions (and breaking old ones) and choosing our own engagement rings, so it seems fitting that wedding cakes have become more modern, more striking, and, of course, even more delicious. Gone are the days of wide satin ribbons and sugar flowers, replaced by far more unexpected designs. If you're looking for a cake that's unique and beautiful without going totally off course, take a look through our gallery of modern wedding cakes. Every single one is a stunner, and you'll find the ideal choice for your big day, whatever the style of your wedding. The next job? Choosing your favourite flavours. That's the fun part!
