For modern weddings with a vibrant color palette, I love this cake design by Brooklyn-based Nine Cakes. The buttercream-frosted tiers are covered in stripes arranged in a very subtle gradient pattern; here, bright red transitions to very pale pink, but I could see this idea working for other bold hues, like orange, blue, or even purple.
If you have a wedding cake you'd like to submit for the blog, please email photos and a brief description to Heather Lee at contact@brides.com.
