There's much to consider when it comes to the food and dessert you'll serve at your wedding reception. In addition to weighing whether or not you want to do a plated, sit-down meal or something a bit less traditional, such as elevated passed appetizers, you'll need to determine the type of treat you'll offer your loved ones at the end of the night. While some couples skip the classic cake and opt to dole out doughnuts, scoops of ice cream, or pancakes instead, you and your partner may decide to adhere to the tried-and-true custom. Yet even if you know that having such a confection is a non-negotiable at your celebration, you may be unsure as to the type of cake you want.
Perhaps you want a multi-tier, showstopping masterpiece with bright colors—or a simple, all-white cutting cake. Maybe you're dreaming of a fruit cake covered with greenery or a vibrant geometric confection in your favorite color. While there's no wrong answer when it comes to this celebratory treat, if you're tying the knot in the spring, you may want to consider bringing elements of the season into your dessert. Luckily, there are countless ways to do just that. For example, you may consider decorating the exterior of your cake with fresh blooms that complement the rest of your wedding florals or decide to sprinkle fresh berries on the top tier of your confection.
However, if you're still stuck on what to do when it comes to your confection, here, we've rounded up 26 of our favorite spring wedding cakes to give you some inspiration. Read on for more.
