Best of 2016: Wedding Cakes

Kunbi O / Thursday December 29, 2016

Before we begin the dreaded New Year’s resolution to step away from the dessert table (how many weeks til bikini season?!) let’s take a moment to appreciate the amazing decadence of this year’s best wedding cakes. Yes, doughnut walls and cupcake towers have had their moments, but nothing quite takes the cake 😉 like a traditional multi-tier cake. Some of our favorite trends of the year were naked cakes, marble cakes and some very creative toppers. Take a look at our top picks from this year’s features:
