Contrary to popular belief, a wedding cake’s appearance is not necessarily its most important quality. It’s the taste.
So, before you distress about cake decorations, be sure to find a fantastic cake, cupcake, or pie recipe first. The decorations will follow more easily, then.
Already found the perfect pie/cake/cupcake? Then check out these sixteen awesome decoration ideas:
1. Emphasize the ‘we’ part of wedding.

2. If you use pie instead of cake, find a way to include birds somewhere
- in honor of the British rhyme, ‘Sing a Song of Sixpence‘:
- Sing a song of sixpence,
- A pocket full of rye.
- Four and twenty blackbirds,
- Baked in a pie.
- When the pie was opened,
- The birds began to sing;
- Wasn’t that a dainty dish,
- To set before the king?
