    Having trouble choosing your perfect wedding cake? Why not turn to the stars?

    Astrology helps many people across the world make big decisions on a daily basis. Whether or not you believe in it, it’s always interesting to see if your horoscope matches up with reality.

    These cakes have been perfectly designed to reflect your astrological sign.

    Aries (March 21–April 19)

    Aries individuals are trend-setters. Being the first sign in the zodiac, they love to lead the way and rarely go with the status quo.

    The bold and adventurous Aries deserves a cake to match. We suggest turning the concept of a wedding cake on its head, literally, by going for an upside down cake. Hang it from an ornate chandelier for even more lavishness.

    Taurus (April 20–May 20)

    This sign is all about the finer things in life. Taurus individuals are ruled by Venus, the enchanting planet that governs love, beauty, and money. As such, they’re all about luxury and perfection.

    A marble wedding cake is perfect to show off your luxe design aesthetic. This cake is put together and glamorous but not over-the-top, just like a Taurean.

    Gemini (May 21–June 20)

    Gemini’s are notorious for having conflicting personality points. They are energetic, youthful and versatile yet quiet and contemplative.

    The best bet is to go for a cake that offers the best of both worlds. A two tier wedding cake that mixes edgy with classy will speak to your Gemini personality.

    Cancer (June 21–July 22)

    Cancers are highly emotional and passionate beings. They’re often hopeless romantics who just love love.

    Considering their love for all things romance, a Valentines Day cake seems especially fitting for Cancereans. Go for reds, pinks and whites, and throw in some heart details to really get the lovey-dovey feels going.

    Leo (July 23–August 22)

    Like their spirit animal, the lion, leo’s tend to see themselves as the king of the jungle. They are bold personalities who like to make a statement.

    With such an out-there personality, why bother with a traditional cake at all? we suggest an alternative like a cheese cake, a fruit cake or a cookie tower!

    Virgo (August 23–September 22)

    Virgo’s are practical perfectionists. Logical and dependable, this Earth sign is known for taking a systematic approach to life. Their style tends to be modest, simple, and polished, just like they are.

    We suggest a simple wedding cake with detail that focuses on symmetry and clean lines.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KPtsThXwI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Libra (September 23–October 22)

    Libra’s are all about balance, much like their symbolic zodiac sign, the scale. They love symmetry and harmony. Like Taureans, Libra’s are also ruled by Venus, the planet that governs love, beauty, and money, and are thus big fans of luxury and beauty.

    A cake that uses simple design in a bold way is key for the Libra individual. Adding texture creates that extra oomph and provides a sense of grandeur.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Hpt_fBghT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

    There is no sign more passionate than Scorpio. This water sign is the most closely linked to sex, seduction and pleasure. They are also detail oriented and mysterious.

    We suggest taking a walk on the dark side with a black cake that exudes sophistication, mystery and romance.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Al8T1pJWN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

    Sagittarius individuals are typically fun-loving and free spirited. They love to roam free and explore the various facets of the world and life.

    A bo-ho aesthetic works well for this sign. Think dried botanicals and macrame in unruly shapes and sizes.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B_z0YIuABN7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

    Capricorns are the classy sign. They are typically very grounded and thoughtful, preferring the simpler things in life.

    We suggest a traditional cake with stunning floral detail that will appeal to your Capricorn senses.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aZSizhsvG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

    Aquarians are represented by the water bearer, the mystical healer who bestows water, or life upon the land. They are graceful yet bold, and stand firm to their beliefs.

    Stick to the sign’s water theme with a wedding cake that subtly references the ocean. A blue marble effect with pearl detailing is sweet, unique and makes a gentle statement.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BxeWpoJloL3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    Pisces (February 19–March 20)

    Pisces individuals are dreamers, often at odds with fantasy and reality. They tend to be empathetic, compassionate and sensitive.

    Pisces individuals deserve a whimsical cake to match their personalities. Go for unusual detail and lots of texture to create a dream come to life.

    Movie-lovers unite! If a specific movie has a special meaning for you and your partner, why not incorporate it into your big day? The challenge here is to not be overly cheesy with the design.

    It’s easy to over-theme a wedding cake, and then run the risk of hating it in the decades to come. Instead, its best to go subtle. Here are some ideas on how to incorporate your favourite franchise into your big day in a way that still looks timeless.

    Your wedding cake may be the main event on the dessert table, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with some other sweet treats!

    For those that aren’t cake people, having an alternative dessert options is really great and inclusive. We love smaller, individual treats because they’re easy to serve and look super cute too! Another bonus: they can double as a take-home wedding favour.

    From macarons to donuts and crocombouche to churros, here are a few delectable dessert ideas your guests will absolutely love:

    A cake topper from Guns n Roses guitarist Slash’s wedding is currently for sale on eBay for $3000. The decoration reportedly features his actual hair.

    The cake topper shows the figurines of a man and woman. The woman’s arms are outstretched seemingly pulling the man back toward her.

    The decor has been certified by Julien’s Auctions to be from Slash’s 2001 wedding to Perla Ferrar. Upon the couple’s divorce in 2018, the cake topper was given to the auction house.

    “Lot 112 is a sculpted plastic wedding cake topper custom fitted with top hat, veil and hair to represent Slash and Perla,” reads the text. “We are herein stating in writing that when Perla Hudson cosigned this property to Julien’s Auctions, she indeed told us that the hair on the cake topper belonged to Slash.”

    If you’d like to purchase this topper, here’s the link to eBay.

    A cake is enough of a wow factor, but why stop there? If you love making a statement, take it a step further by creating a beautiful backdrop for your sweet treat.

    Using a normal plate or cake stand is so yesterday. Many modern couples are opting for unique displays to frame their wedding cakes. Using flowers, frames, swings and tapestries, your cake can be transformed into a work of art.

    Here are some ideas to inspire you:

    Elaborate, five-tier cakes are definitely a sight to behold but sometimes less is more. One-tier wedding cakes have slowly been rising in popularity as couples seek to make a more understated statement.

    Another benefit of one-tier cakes is that they’re more affordable, allowing couples to save a bit of money. After the coronavirus pandemic, wedding budgets might be stretched as people recover financially. This cake is the perfect way to help.

    One-tier cakes are anything but boring though! Have fun with texture, height, detail and dimension to create a cake with drama and personality. Here are some fun ideas:
