Wedding Cakes Go Gold or Silver

Wedding cakes are no longer white with pastel flowers. Today's cakes often have metallic accents or jewel like accents. Here are just a few examples of metallic/jewel-like wedding cakes.

Whether it's silver or gold metallic, or even copper, wedding cakes with metallic accents are sure to catch the eye of your guests. Sometimes gilt is difficult to work with so this is definitely a professional job, not a diy cake, even though the barrel shape makes it look deceptively easy.

This gold on gold relief cake topped with a flower is elegant and sure to catch the eye of all of your guests, not to mention make a great photo op. Unfortunately there isn't a link other than to Pinterest, if anyone knows where the original came from please let me know so I can credit them (and so brides can order cakes from them!)
