Gorgeous floral bouquets are essential when it comes to stunning wedding cake designs. And while the classic sugar flora and fauna are great, the addition of gorgeous gum paste berries is a great alternative to the usual filler flowers, adding a really wild and unique element to an already fantastic wedding cake. We love seeing all manner of fruits and berries paired with both traditional and unusual blossoms from blackberries set amongst sugar ranunculus flowers or elegant fondant roses with hypercium berries nestled underneath petals and leaves.
To help inspire your next creation, here’s our roundup of beautiful berry adorned wedding cakes!

Moroccan lattice cake with berries
There’s such a great yet subtle use of color on this cake: We love the dusky terra cotta of the lattice pattern, mimicked on the tiny sugar blossoms and set off wonderfully with the dark gum paste blackberries. The curving blackberry leaves are especially dramatic and impressive too!
