We did not have a decorative cake since our colors were so strong (red and gold), we opted for a simple design. But I like when couples want to have a unique cake design adorning their cake tables. Some cakes look too pretty to eat. I love these cake designs by Erica O'Brien Cake Design. So many cakes start to look alike after awhile. But I must say that these designs are fresh and new.
