Edible Pearl Wedding Cakes

What normal bride don’t love pearls? Classic, feminine, and luminous, a pearl necklace and earrings on the bride simply radiates good taste. This very concept can be used to design the wedding cake. Edible “pearls” are a gorgeous decorative element for an elegant white cake. Take a look at all of the different ways to decorate your wedding cake with pearls.

Randomly scattered and encrusted pearls about the wedding cake is a perfect design for the bride who likes to have her pearl necklace in a modern twist. Larger pearls resting gently on smooth fondant are scattered from top to bottom on a three tiered cake. The pearls can be very dense at the top of the cake and as they make their way down can be more scattered around the cake. Just like real pearls have a beatiful radiance to them, by adding opalescent power to the pearls, you can achieve this affect as well. For a winter wedding and just in general a pretty variation of this is to mix and match white pearls with silver ones made with sugar.

Placing edible pearls along the base of each tier of the wedding cake to create rows is a very feminine way to decorate a wedding cake. It will look as though the baker has laid a pearl necklace around the layers of the cake. Make the white pearls pop by frosting the cake in a color other than white. Colors that work very well include mint green, bably blue, lilac, and pink. Top the cake with a giant frosting “bow” with streamers cascading down the tiers. This type of design is one that is simple and yet has lots of style. This type of wedding cake would be ideal for a spring or summer wedding during the afternoon time.

            Wedding cakes inspired by the bride’s gown and pearl necklace are always special. Incredibly beautiful and subtle all at once, a lace patterned cake designed in ivory on white is wonderful. Make it even more special by using edible pearls like beading on the frosting lace design, just like a real bridal gown might have. Another idea is to use the pearls to create a row of “pearl buttons” down the front of the cake. It is lovely couture detail, one that you might find on a designer bridal gown. A monogrammed cake topper made with faux pearls would be a lovely feature of a wedding cake.

            Edible pearls can also be used as an element to create a strong geometric pattern on a cake. When made with small faux pearls instead of flat dots, a classic swiss dot design would be beautiful. It is a special detail which will add dimension and interest to the cake. Swiss dot is lovely for spring, so top the cake with sugar blossoms made to mimic lilacs or peonies. For more color, add a ribbon band to the base of each cake tier in the same color as the flowers on top. What a stunning cake this would be for a bride wearing a dotted organza bridal gown with pearl earrings! Edible pearls can also be used like a form of punctuation for a pattern. Create a Chanel-inspired quilted cake in ballet pink fondant with tiny white pearls at the juncture of each quilted diamond. Top it off with pale pink and black anemone blossoms, or a single oversized black camellia blossom made from gum paste (the camellia was Coco Chanel’s signature flower, of course).

You can never go wrong when you choose edible pearls as a beautiful decorative element on your wedding cake. They are elegant, classic, pretty, and very bridal. Style and grace will easily be added to a wedding cake by covering it with pearls.
