Pink has always been a favorite color for weddings. What other color could be more romantic, pretty, and feminine? There are many wonderful ways to use pink in a wedding, right down to the wedding cake.
Get inspired by these charming ideas for pink wedding cakes and desserts:
Swiss Dot Cake
Most brides will choose to have a classic tiered wedding cake at their reception. One delightful design for a pink wedding cake is a quilted Swiss dot pattern done in fondant. Frost light pink fondant over a white cake filled with raspberry cream, then etch a diamond shape pattern into the frosting to resemble quilting. A small Swiss dot is applied to the intersection of each diamond. For an added detail, faux pearls may be piped around the base of each cake tier. That is a popular accent when the bride is wearing pearl bridal jewelry. A pink Swiss dot cake would be absolutely wonderful for a spring or summer wedding with a classic style.Pink Cupcakes
If whimsy is your style, a tower of pink cupcakes would be a terrific dessert for your wedding reception. It would be fun to have the cake variety be red velvet under the pink frosting. There are many great design options for the cupcakes. For a romantic look, decorate the top of each cupcake with a large dark pink buttercream frosting rose. Your guests will love it – remember those birthday cakes when you were a kid and everyone fought over the slices with the frosting roses? This time, everyone gets a rose on their cake! Classic white china cake stands with cut out details are a lovely way to display such pretty cupcakes.Cupcakes can be very contemporary as well. A great modern look would be to choose three different geometric patterns to use on the cupcakes. You could use a stripe, a check, and a polka dot, for instance, done in shades of pink, red, and aqua. Display the cupcakes on a clear lucite tiered stand so the patterns are really showcased. As for the flavor, it would be fun to do brownie cupcakes, which is a big wedding trend right now.
Cotton Candy
Looking for another fun idea for a pink wedding dessert? Consider cotton candy! It would be a wonderful addition to a carnival theme wedding or any summer reception. Cotton candy would probably not be served instead of a traditional wedding cake, but as an additional dessert for your guests. Hire a cotton candy truck just like you would find at a real fair for a terrific late night reception surprise. Your guests will love it the unexpected and fun treat.Candy Stations
Candy stations have become a tried-and-true wedding favorite. A wonderful thing about candy bars is that they are easy to create in a signature color. If your wedding taste runs towards classic pearl bridal jewelry and roses, make your candy station elegant in design. Fill clear glass apothecary jars with your favorite candies in a range of pink hues. Ideas include custom pink M&Ms, pink gummy bears, and pink Jordan almonds, to name just a few. Small silver scoops will add to the elegance. For an informal wedding reception, set out galvanized tin pails filled to the brim with pink sweets like candy necklaces, pink saltwater taffy, pink rock candy, and pink bubblegum. Chinese take out shaped boxes are a great way for your guests to take home their favorite candies as a wedding favor for a sweet reminder of your charming wedding.About the author: Bridget Mora is a former bridal shop manager.She currently writes as often as she has time for and she has witten numerous articles about weddings, fashion and etiquette for SilverlandJewelry.com .
