When it comes to wedding cakes,
we’re always on the hunt for the new, the eye-catching, and the totally
gorgeous. Succulent cakes manage to check off each one of those
qualities and then some. Yes, that’s right: Those live-forever plants
that you’ve decorated your desk with are now sugar-based, and we
couldn’t be more obsessed.

While floral cakes
have become somewhat of a post-aughts wedding staple, succulent cakes
add a jaw-dropping twist on the classic. Also known as terrarium cakes
(for obvious reasons), these incredibly detailed desserts boast piped-on
floral designs that are more reminiscent of desert cacti than garden
fresh roses. They look pretty convincing too.
In
deep hues of green, red, and blue, succulent cakes are true works of
art. Mix in some dusty rose, pastel lavender, and tiny pops of yellow,
and you’ve got yourself a color palette that could, quite possibly,
inspire your whole wedding aesthetic. And, especially for spring and
fall weddings, might we suggest it as a great way to add some flair to
your big day?
