Black and White Wedding Cake?

I am making a wedding cake for 75 people but they want carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I am not sure how this will look? There colors are pink and green. Can you give me an idea if this black and white wedding cake will look ok together? And do you recommend stacked or on different level stands?

Hi Selma, I think it could look very interesting. My first thought is if you do stack the cakes, have the darker (chocolate) one on the bottom with the carrot on top. Not sure if you are doing two or three tiers, but you could blend them together by decorating the white one with chocolate decoration, or by adding a chocolate ribbon to the top tier and possibly a white chocolate ribbon to the bottom chocolate cake. The flowers would look pretty around the cake base and a few on top, and possibly a few cascading.

Another idea for a three tiered wedding cake is to graduate them. For example do chocolate on the bottom one, a mocha colored icing on the middle tier and the creamy white one on top.

If you have them on separate plates at different levels that would also be very pretty with the flowers surrounding each cake. You can tie them together by using matching cake plates.

I hope this helps you out. Thank you for visiting and asking a great question. I will also ask my facebook decorator friends for suggestions, They usually have lots of ideas. Here is a link to the black and white wedding cakes that I have on this website. Maybe they will spark some ideas.


Please send a picture of your finished cake. I would love to add it to this post or you can submit it to wedding cake photos. Looking forward to seeing your black and white wedding cake.
