Dressing up a wedding cake with fresh blooms makes for a naturally beautiful look. But what about adding an unexpected touch of greenery to the mix? Enter: succulent wedding cakes.
Whether embracing a modern, nature-inspired, or boho vibe, adding succulents to a wedding cake design can create such a stunning statement. Plus, there’s plenty of options to pair a succulent wedding cake with any theme or style of wedding. “Casual backyard weddings are perfect for succulent cakes,” says Andrea Carusetta, owner of Sedona Cake Couture. “A naked cake with touches of gold leafing and adorned with fresh succulents will do the trick. But, a fabulous formal wedding with a marbled fondant cake and sugar paste succulents is also sure to wow guests!”
Meet the Expert
Andrea Carusetta is the owner of Sedona Cake Couture, an artisan cake studio based in Sedona, Arizona with a focus on handcrafting sugar succulents.
The succulent family of plants covers a number of bases, including the classic potted varieties of succulents, along with aloe vera and agave plants and all varieties of cacti. Succulents can be added to a cake in a number of ways, all depending on the design style. “Succulents made from gum paste look very realistic and can be colored with powdered food colors to enhance them,” says Carusetta. Buttercream frosting can also be used to craft smaller cacti, or you might opt for a cute cactus cake topper or a few real succulents dotted on each tier.
You can choose to embrace a complementary color palette including hues such as smoky blue, grey, and green, along with subtle purples or pinks to create a beautiful display. Or, pair your succulents with additional blooms. “Succulents pair well with other flowers such as garden roses, peonies, and purple thistle,” adds Carusetta. The options are seemingly endless!
