Blog reader Skye Howe of Sunny Girl Cakes in Queensland, Australia, submitted this adorable wedding cake decorated with a cake topper made of paper-flag pennants. The sweet and simple design is a smart idea if you're on a budget—ask your cake designer to keep the decorations on the minimal side, as demonstrated by the fondant flower cut-outs affixed to the base of each tier. And if you're up for a DIY project, you could easily make a similar paper-flag banner using wooden dowels and a variety patterned papers.
If you have a wedding cake you'd like to submit to Brides.com, please email photos and a brief description to Heather Lee at contact@brides.com.
