Layer Some Spring Into Your Wedding Cake

Cake–it’s the one thing everyone is in love with at a wedding. Want to be in love with your cake too? Look for something less predictable than the classic white cake with white butter cream frosting. With spring and summer fast approaching, and wedding invitations sent out, it’s time for wedding planners and brides with upcoming weddings to take advantage of the season to create a truly unique cake.

Nothing reflects the season better than the blooms and berries brides can burnish on everything from their wedding invitations to the table arrangements to the cake. We found these beautiful wedding cakes on MyRecipes.com, courtesy of the food editors of Southern Living magazine. What we love about these cakes is that they seem likely to impress as much from what’s on their insides than from their equally stunning  outsides. (And isn’t that what all brides hope for in the end anyway?)

Tiered Poppyseed Cake

Clever use of an upside down candy dish separates tiers, and poppyseed seems pitch perfect for the season. No word about filling, but lemon comes to mind.
