Just a touch of color without going overboard
All white, or pops of color can be incorporated in many ways

Jennefer Wilson LOVE!
Hollis Heffgrass Of course... We can always do several smaller cakes if you can't decide. ;)
Top layer and bottom layer with the long, tall liner look like this, but the middle layer with a bit of a floral touch like a "belt" for the cake. Maybe yes?

So.. what if the middle layer has a touch of this design, either in the color, or white with some "bling" (edible pearls, etc) and the top and bottom are more rustic (pics to follow)

Jennefer Wilson i LOVE this!
Hollis Heffgrass its all buttercreme and incorporates the ruffles you love. plus, you could do the "ombre" look with a different color (pink/gray/yellow) on each tier!
graduated pink wedding cake; color or no color... and do-able in buttercreme.

And don't forget basketweave as a viable option... in any color, and with a ton of patterns; wicker, classic, rugged, etc.

Hollis Heffgrass the bottom two are both buttercreme...but that doesn't mean the top two couldn't be tasty!
stripes! maybe big stripes on bottom, medium on middle and little on top? @Hollis Heffgrass

Hollis Heffgrass combing texture is one way to go to add a bit of texture, too! But why not switch it up.... little stripes on the bottom, and large towards the top? Either or!
I would love this as one of the layers of a vintage wedding cake

Hollis Heffgrass This is buttercreme ON fondant, which is also an option, especially with fresh marshmellow fondant. If you don't care about the perfectly rounded corners, and don't mind "angles" at the edge, the entire thing can be done in buttercreme of any flavor
Jennefer Wilson ooh! we don't mind edges at all! we just want every bite to be delicious...and neither of us are too crazy for fondant! No round corners necessary!
Hollis Heffgrass Good to know! :) We need to figure out a date for the tasting! ;)
Wedding Cake!

Hollis Heffgrass This is what i'd call "rough iced" and while i like it, but i think this cake is incomplete. It needs a contrasting ribbon of crisp color to make it look less... "raw." but the icing technique is simple, classic (vintage!) and holds up well in any weather. :)
@Hollis Heffgrass i know i definitely want some kind of texture...i don't really want to follow trend or popularity though...and we are both anti fondant :) what are our options?

Hollis Heffgrass This is an option, as are "rough iced" cakes... and i'll tag you in some other good buttercreme options. But if you're set on the ruffles, they can be done in marshmellow fondant, which is pretty tasty!!!
also beyond in love with this texture for a layer! @Hollis Heffgrass

Hollis Heffgrass I agree... i like it better for a single layer than an entire cake,but i love playing with texture! (although it always kind of reminds me of the stuff you line your shelves with! Is that weird?!)
Simple beauty. @Hollis Heffgrass

Hollis Heffgrass It is definitely the delicate drapery of flowers in pastel hues that does this one justice. I am not an expert in making these myself, yet...each flower is a fine work or art in it's own. And they can be purchased from people who know just how to make each stamen and pistil to perfection if this is the one you love, and incorporated with ease.
@Hollis Heffgrass can get enough of the ruffles! would this be a possible option?

Lissa Lecy I vote the ruffles :)
Hollis Heffgrass I knew before you asked. :) you've had a lot of these uber-girlie ruffles pinned, and they are all the rage right now, too. :) Just find the exact style (how many, what color--the ombre look? off white?--and the overall feel. it could work so many ways!
Loving the clean lines on this one mixed with the white and florals! @Hollis Heffgrass

Hollis Heffgrass Absolutely. This one lends itself to being done in buttercreme (ie: white chocolate, Italian or the american version) OR in fondant; and the flowers can be real, dried, or sugar flowers. :)
obsessed with the simplicity of this one...
