Nothing makes black wedding cakes pop more than light colored, confectionary flowers. Your red or pink roses will be vibrant and your lily whites will glow against the backdrop of dark icing. Realistic edible flowers can be made from icing, fondant, or even candied. 

This is one of our dark wedding cake ideas that should be on your “must do” list when planning for black wedding cakes. Of course, it doesn’t have to be flowers. Add pearls or succulents to your dark wedding cake! The point is to create contrast with your decorative sweets.
