When grooms are asked for their opinion on the wedding cake usually all he has to offer up is which tasted the best. If you go with a black and white wedding cake instead of the many colors available, he may have more to say. Black and white is much easier for a groom to comment and discuss, as it is not girly or frivolous in any way. This is just one of the reasons this color choice is so popular.

Traditionally wedding cakes tend to be white. These days cakes take on many different colors and patterns, including black and white. For those brides and grooms who want a little something different, but they want the cake to be mostly white they can ask their baker about adding just a touch of black with small patterns and lines.

Many brides and grooms choose to evenly distribute the black and white on their wedding cake. One way to do this is to alternate the color of each tier of the cake.

Another trend in wedding cake design is to have patterns and designs on the cake. Many brides choose simple design elements such as polka dots, lines, swirls and stripes. Other shapes which are popular include hearts, diamonds, and squares. If you are looking for a more complex design you could consider flowers, leaves, monograms or even pictures on the cake.

If you want a black and white cake but are still looking for a touch of color, that can be done too. You might decide to use flower petals either directly on your cake or artfully positioned on the cake table. If you like the idea of color but you don't want flowers, you can ask your baker to see samples of where they blended in small amounts of color into the cake design.

Sometimes choosing a cake topper can be as much fun as decorating the cake itself. Make sure the topper you choose goes well with the cake. The idea is to find something that looks like it was meant to go together, so watch what you choose so it does not clash or seem out of place.

Choosing a wedding cake is just another one of the decisions that all brides and grooms need to make for the big day. Black and white wedding cakes are very popular, but you just want to make sure that it goes well with your wedding.
