The wedding cake is the most "picture-friendly" idea at your wedding. Let's just admit that. The reception / party these days always features a good cake - and while it tastes yummmmm, it needs to look amazing to set the tone of your wedding pictures right. Right? Of course, your baker is the best person to make it pretty and add ideas and attachments to it, but does that mean you take a backseat completely? No siree, it pays to know what's in the market and what works. We already gave you the essential cake-loving advice. Now it's time to put together a few ideas that might just make your wedding cake picture an instagram-worthy one from our own weddings and vendors! (wink, wink)

#1 . One Word Topper

Add a single word that defines your relationship, or a picture that is a caricature of you guys. Whatever it is, make a simple laser-cut cardboard cake topper that immediately strikes a note!
 

#2. Naked Cakes

Fresh fruits and pretty flowers without a fondant covering = awesome times infinity. So rustic and old-school and all things vintage.
 

#3. 3d Models

Cute 3D models of your wedding ring, a pack of doves, a cute memento that defined your love life - make a 3D model of it and prop it up.
 

#4. Songs + Love Letters

Add a frame - that leaves it so much space to say a few words and add a song / quote you love!
 

#5. Match it to your Lehenga

Sugar Glamelia is a better word for sugar work roses - that actually look a lot like real ones. It's intricate work!
 

#7. Chandelier Cakes with Bling

No need to embellish it - just make the icing work like adding a double colour effect - ombre colours are just great and add good texture!
