Every single bride and groom that is going to get married really does deserve to have a wonderful wedding cake.

The modern design, however, may seem elusive to those, not in the know about desert styles, so let’s take a look at what exactly a modern wedding cake is.
Deserts for the Modern Couple
A modern wedding cake is something that is designed a little differently, away from the norm. Whether the slight difference in design is the shape, the frosting or tier structure, modern wedding cakes often exude elegance and clean lines.
Most of the time, you are going to find that people opt to go with the status quo and get a wedding cake that is round in shape and has a lot of frosting on top of it. Now you are going to have the option to go extremely crazy if you design to go modern the limit is literally your imagination.
Square Cakes
One of the most popular designs among people that decide to get a modern approach to their wedding cake is to get a square design. Now the cake is always going to taste great but a lot of these square shaped cakes come with a fondant base. Fondant is an edible material that can be draped over the base to create a smooth-as-glass base for the design.
You really can go all out in terms of your imagination and put any kinds of decorations that you want on top of the fondant once it has set. You can use fondant to create that extra special look and feeling to your wedding cake, that you just won’t be able to achieve with something like frosting.
Cupcake Weddings
In terms of cupcakes for your wedding, these are nothing like the ones that you are used to when you are at a kid’s birthday party. In most cases but not always the wedding cupcakes are usually part of a bigger wedding cake display that add to the dramatic overall effect.
There are three common types of decoration that you can use on your wedding cupcake and that is fondant, ganache or frosting, its all up to you. You can display the cupcakes in any number or different ways, but the most common in modern times it to setup a cupcake tier or some kind.
Now you really have all options that you could want in terms of wedding cakes, it really is down to you what you want to have done. Square cakes, cupcakes and fondant are all great choices for the modern couple, and all of these modern cake ideas are sure to help the young couple enjoy their reception in a style that matches their modern lives.
