I'm crazy about this new trend of painted wedding cakes. It opens up the door to so many different cake decor options. Whether you go soft and demure with sweet watercolors, or dramatic with bold shades and elaborate designs, painted cakes are definitely show stoppers.

This cake with lightly colored streaks and a succulent topper would go well at any simple affair, from vintage to desert.

Give a nod to your church wedding with one of these ornate stained glass cakes!

Both of the cakes above have a very Mediterranean vibe, don't they? From the watercolor tile motif (left) to the fruits and flowers (right), either would be right at home in a villa venue.

For those who want their wedding to be all things floral and lovely, these cakes are for you! The rosebud design (above) shows how cupcakes can be incorporated in to the hand painted wedding cake trend.

And don't be afraid to go a little three dimensional with your cakes with ruffles, rosettes, and even macarons!
