Arguably the most important part of your wedding day is the wedding cake. You want it to taste amazing, but you also want it to be something your guests remember forever. It’s a tricky decision to make, which is exactly why a wedding cake zodiac is ideal for everyone out there who is planning their big day. Our zodiac signs allow us to take an in-depth look at who we are and why we behave the way we do, which is also why they can help us make decisions both big and small.
Whether you’re deciding what career path to take or what donut to eat for dessert, astrology can give you a helping hand. Though astrology is highly complex and involves an entire chart based on the time you were born, you can use your sun signs to make simple comparisons based on your personality. In this case, we’re taking a look at food and, specifically, which wedding cake flavor and style best fits each of the twelve zodiac signs out there.
Orange Creamsicle
Sign: Aries
If your infectious energy doesn’t keep people’s spirits alive at your wedding, then your cake certainly will. To match your passionate energy, we went with an orange cake covered in orange cream cheese frosting. A refreshing flavor that will get guests ready to dance the night away.
Strawberry Champagne
Sign: Taurus
Is there anything more luxurious than strawberries and champagne? We didn’t think so. That’s why this is the perfect flavor for an occasion as momentous as your wedding. Featuring a champagne cake with fresh strawberry frosting, everyone will know that it’s your day to shine.
Chocolate and Vanilla
Sign: Gemini
For an indecisive zodiac sign that wants the best of both worlds, an alternating chocolate and vanilla cake with vanilla frosting is absolute perfection. It’s almost as though it represents you and your partner — and your sign’s two personalities — coming together in the name of a beautiful dessert.
Honey Lavender
Sign: Cancer
A sweet honey cake with lavender buttercream is a cake that isn’t lacking in depth — perfect for a Cancer whose emotions run as deep as the universe. The best part is that lavender and honey will help calm any anxious energy you have on your big day, keeping you cool, calm, and collected.
Chocolate Caramel
Sign: Leo
Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache buttercream and caramel drippings will surely steal the show on your wedding day — alongside you, of course. To match a Leo’s charming personality, we thought of a cake that no one can resist. What’s more enchanting that chocolate and caramel mixed together?
Lemon Elderflower
Sign: Virgo
Just like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a Virgo would go for a classic lemon cake with lemon curd and elderflower frosting. It sounds like a no-nonsense wedding cake for the fanciest among us, for someone who is meticulously planning every aspect of their wedding day. You deserve to be treated like royalty, after all.
Strawberry Rose
Sign: Libra
Since Libra is a sign that values romance and beauty, we picked two romantic flavors for this wedding cake. A strawberry cake with rose buttercream and fresh strawberries will surely get the message across that today is one of the best days of your life. And just imagine how pretty it will look in your scrapbook!
Black Forest Cherry
Sign: Scorpio
A classic white cake might not be your style — especially since you’re the type who isn’t afraid to try new things. That’s why we imagine a Black Forest cake with cherry buttercream and rum-soaked cherries at your wedding. It’s a cake for a passionate zodiac sign, and will definitely pack a punch in the flavor department.
Pineapple Coconut
Sign: Sagittarius
Taking a trip around the world, we have a pineapple cake with coconut frosting and toasted coconut shavings. Because let’s be real — you’re probably having your ceremony at a tropical destination that quenches your thirst for travel. Straying from the typical, this cake is just as unique and independent as you are.
Almond Vanilla Bean
Sign: Capricorn
Classics are classic for a reason, especially when you consider how amazing an almond cake with vanilla bean frosting and crushed almonds would be. It’s a white cake you can’t go wrong with on your wedding day, and the best part is that it will never go out of style. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sticking to tradition.
Blackberry Basil
Sign: Aquarius
No idea is off limits when it comes to an Aquarius celebration, which is why an unexpected blackberry basil-infused cake with blackberry frosting is perfect for your wedding day. To make it look even more out of this world, add some basil sprigs on top. Your guests won’t know what to expect, and that will bring you so much joy.
Banana Nutella
Sign: Pisces
A banana cake with Nutella buttercream and toasted hazelnuts sounds like the definition of delightful. And who doesn’t like Nutella? For a Pisces who wants to please a crowd, while staying true to their dreamy side, this wedding cake is ideal. And there’s no way you won’t have a unique cake topper designed for this beauty.
As for specific cake styles, read on to see which one goes with your zodiac sign’s element.
Naked
Element: Air
For a Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, an unexpected naked cake is perfect. As signs who are all about coming up with new ideas and creating change, a naked cake is a surefire hit, reminding you that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Time for a culinary adventure!
Floral
Element: Water
An emotional, dreamy sign like Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces deserves a sweet, sentimental cake that symbolizes the romance of their wedding day. With this in mind, a floral cake (complete with fresh flowers!) will get the job done. Plus, you can save some of the petals to preserve the beautiful memories.
Black
Element: Fire
To embody the passion held within a fire sign like Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, we have an inky black cake that’s not messing around. It’s not afraid to go its own way and steal the show, letting everyone know that it’s ready for the spotlight. A black wedding cake is definitely a fun way to buck tradition.
Hand-Painted
Sign: Earth
Though earth signs like Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn tend to be grounded most of the time, they can also be quite bougie. So on their wedding day, we expect them to go all out with a hand-painted cake that perfectly matches their vision. It’s your wedding day, after all, so you might as well show off your creative ideas.
