Though modern science proves otherwise, the phrase "giving your heart" remains the very best way to express that you simply had sacrifice anything for the one you love. Jay Qualls of the Tennessee-based Maples Wedding Cakes printed our designs on paper, covered them in parchment, traced them then transferred them.

POTTED PLANT WEDDING CAKE

Contributing editor Jason Schreiber made this herb-adorned cake, which features micro marigolds, cilantro and fennel blossoms, bachelor's buttons, sweet alyssums, oregano, and pea shoots. Swiss meringue buttercream's tacky texture kept the edible blossoms (buy your own at gourmetsweetbotanicals.com) in place.

DUTCH GOLDEN AGE WEDDING CAKE

Inspired by the hyper- naturalistic botanic still-life paintings of Dutch artist Rachel Ruysch, circa 1685 to 1750, more than one guest will do a double take at the sight of this cake, which looks like a lush floral centerpiece. Custom made sugar flowers, created by Amy DeGiulio of Sugar Flower Cake Shop in Nyc, were put in a bed of chocolate-fondant-covered cake, that was place in a sizable gold urn. Fill the cake's layers with rosewater buttercream to call it is flowering adornments out.

TEARDROP WEDDING CAKE

Give your cake a dash of whimsy. Order up a fondant cake, along with a pail of fondant, from a bakery. Add roll out into a thin sheet, and food coloring to get the appropriate colours. Cut with various teardrop-shaped cookie cutters (these are by Ateco, from Sur La Table), let dry, and attach to the very front of the cake with gum paste mixed with hot water.

CHOCOLATE STOUT WEDDING CAKE

Each layer of the chocolate nude cake by Wendy Kromer- Caitlin Brown and Schell drizzled with caramel and chocolate ganache, is filled with buttercream, and topped with candied pecans. Meanwhile, the particular cake comprises butter, yogurt, and stout (customize yours with your chosen brew), making each bite decadently moist.

EMBROIDERED LACE AND APPLIQUED WEDDING CAKE

Sugar paste was pressed into each form, then applied in layers to the fondant. The ivory tower that is resulting is one that both generations— your mom's and yours —will adore.

WHITE-CHOCOLATE PANELED WEDDING CAKE

Architectural though familiar, our white-chocolate panel cake requires neither culinary abilities nor layout abilities (besides the people you learned in preschool). Simply purchase a buttercream cake from a pack of chocolate panels from chocolatier Christopher Norman along with a nearby bakery. The rest is a cakewalk: fill the ledges with gold raspberries or a different fruit, and Adhere panels of varying heights onto the tiers.

CRUSHED-SWEET WEDDING CAKE

As fun as it will be to eat to make, our sparkling marmalade-sweet cake requires a little muscle—and that is about it. Purchase your chosen hard candies (these are by La Vie de La Vosgienne), place them in a big resealable plastic bag, get a rolling pin, and also have a blast pounding away your prewedding jitters. Then press on the glittering pieces that are crushed to the sides of a buttercream cake.

OMBRE WEDDING CAKE

Wendy Kromer- Schell and Caitlin Brown hid blood orange and passion-fruit curds in tinted vanilla poundcake because of this buttercream-dotted confection. Bake yours a bit larger than desirable that browned edges can be trimmed off, revealing the vibrant ombre layout underneath.

MINI CHOCOLATE-COVERED WEDDING CAKES

Fancy: Yes. (Perch the cakes on a wire rack so excess glaze does not pool.) Then we gently pulled a toothpick through the lines to generate the designs.

WHITE ROSE WEDDING CAKE

The reputation as nature's most definitive love symbol of this bloom stems from the Greeks, who used the flower to represent the goddess Venus. White roses, especially, have come to symbolize true love, and purity, unity —as opposed to red roses' organization with fire—which has earned them the status of Ultimate Wedding Flower. Here, New York City cake guru Sylvia Weinstock blanketed three layers of cake in handcrafted, edible sugar petals to gently echo the form of a French croquembouche—and develop a temple to Cupid's favourite flower.

ROSE-PIPED WEDDING CAKE

This joyful rose confection may seem couture, but just about anyone is capable of re-creating it. Start with a simple fondant cake. Next, print out our template of roses that are abstract, place parchment paper and trace having a piping bag of royal icing. After dry, peel the paper from the piped roses, and stick the layouts to the cake using gum paste that is been blended with water that is hot.

IKAT AND FRENCH SILK RIBBON WEDDING CAKE

The spirit of a century-old French silk ribbon may be felt in every bite of this beloved cake. On top rests a stunning bow of molded glue paste (so realistic, you'll be tempted to untie it). Then we painted combined with lemon extract on the fondant in a rose design that evokes the blurry quality of an ikat weave to edible luster dust.

JAPANESE SPONGE WEDDING CAKE

These little beauties by Wendy Kromer-Schell and Caitlin Brown (known as individual sponge roulades) were inspired by Japan's popular patterned cake rolls. The fill is lemon-ginger mousse, and also the designs could be customized (wedding crest or monogram, anyone?).

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE WEDDING CAKE

This Lafayette Grand Cafe & Bakery fromage blanc cheesecake has six layers of berry-adorned goodness. The layers are flavored with lemon zest vanilla bean, and black pepper, and sit atop an all-natural cornmeal crust.

ART DECO WEDDING CAKE

The layouts on this particular cake hark back to another time—when sandals were strappy, music was for dancing, and jewelry took a leap to the long run. Nevertheless, you don't need to understand your Art Deco from your Art Nouveau to admire its fashion that is geometric. Covered in piped dots of frosting, buttercream, and cut-fondant plaques with sanding sugar, coated, it is just plain pretty, no matter what way you slice it.

SPRING WEDDING CAKE

Springerle molds are what make this cake (an orange-chiffon confection full of mascarpone) great. Despite the fact that the unique purple tint and springtime characters (bunnies, birds, and flowers) are not too shabby, either.
