15 Unique Black Wedding Cakes

Black Wedding Cakes Inspiration

If I could change something about my wedding cake, I’d be sure to have a black wedding cake with some pink! Black wedding cakes are incredibly romantic and stylish. Recently, I was inspired by recent black Valentine’s Day cakes, so I thought wedding cakes with a black color scheme would be fun to explore! It’s such a unique & moody theme for couples who want to stray from traditional wedding colors. Here are some recent cakes to check out!
