Wedding cakes that have a beach theme can be anything from incredibly elegant to just-plain-fun, with a whole lot in between.
What's most important is the 'look and feel' that you want your beach wedding cake to convey! Probably the most popular and elegant of all beach theme cakes is to have it decorated with edible shells of all shapes (and colors, if you'd like).
A blue frosted cake with white shells look lovely and classic, but you could easily frost the cake with any other color if you have a color theme you are working with.
A white cake with white or ivory shells is very elegant, however you can also go 'whimsical' by having the shells be different colors (not necessarily indicative of nature).
Sandcastle cakes are also popular not only because we all remember building sandcastles at the beach when we were younger but because they also represent a 'fairytale' wedding where all dreams come true.
Then there are just the just-plain-fun beach cakes.
These include cakes that are shaped like buckets and that have 'beach tools' around it, cakes that have 'surfer couples' as toppers, etc.
Or cakes that include tropical drink decorations or 'under the sea' fishes are also fun! Your best bet is to search the web for decorative ideas for thetype of cake you want for your wedding.
Examples of searches could be: "sandcastle cake", "elegant beach wedding cake" "surfing wedding cake", etc.
You may have to play with the words a bit until you come across enough designs that interest you.
When you come across a design you like, print it.
Then take the images to your favorite bakery and see if they can create your own, one-of-a-kind, fabulous beach wedding cake! If you are having a wedding that calls for this kind of cake, then a terrific party favor is to hand out wedding cookie favors that resemble your beach wedding cake.
They will be a huge and delicious hit! Diva Entertains, Copyright 2009
