Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest impact. Metallic and decorative accents—like gold, pearls, and crystals—can instantly transform a wedding cake into a luxurious centerpiece. At Wedding Unicorn, we use these elements thoughtfully to enhance design, texture, and elegance.
Here’s how each accent elevates your wedding cake.
Gold Accents
Gold adds warmth, richness, and timeless glamour. Whether hand-painted, brushed onto textured buttercream, or used sparingly as a highlight, gold instantly elevates a cake’s appearance.
Best for:
-
Luxury and glam weddings
-
Modern and classic themes
-
Statement and centerpiece cakes
Gold works best when applied with restraint—subtle touches create a high-end finish.
Pearl Accents
Pearls bring softness, romance, and understated elegance. Often used as edible sugar pearls or delicate detailing, pearl accents complement classic and romantic designs beautifully.
Best for:
-
Timeless and traditional weddings
-
Romantic or garden themes
-
Minimalist designs with refined detail
Pearls add dimension without overwhelming the design.
Crystal Accents
Crystals create sparkle, drama, and a show-stopping effect. Used carefully and safely, crystal accents add brilliance and visual interest—especially under reception lighting.
Best for:
-
Glam and luxury weddings
-
Evening receptions
-
Bold statement cakes
Crystals should be placed strategically to enhance, not overpower.
Choosing the Right Accent
When selecting accents, consider your wedding theme, décor, and overall style. Some couples even blend accents—such as gold detailing with pearl elements—for a layered, refined look.
Your cake should reflect your vision while remaining cohesive.
Elevated Design, Thoughtful Details
At Wedding Unicorn, we believe luxury lives in the details. Our expert craftsmanship ensures every gold brushstroke, pearl placement, and crystal accent is intentional and beautifully executed.
Because when the details shine, the cake becomes unforgettable.
