When you are looking for a dramatic appearance for your wedding cake, an ombre ruffle is an extraordinary touch. Ombre refers to the gradual transition from one color to another. When properly executed, the ombre can be both elegant and lavish. It’s a way to get a lot of color on your cake without ending up with something too gaudy. It’s a look that even the most traditional members of your wedding planning committee can get behind.

Ombre Wedding Cake Options

One of the things that makes ombre an excellent choice for a wedding cake design is that it’s very flexible. Many people like to do just one tier of ombre, transitioning from the white portion of the cake, used for the upper tiers, to the fuller color of red, purple, orange, or whatever you prefer at the bottom.

You don’t have to transition from white. Ombre works well when transitioning between two colors, too. You can move from a red to a blue (hitting some lovely shades of purple along the way), a yellow to a red, or even do an entire rainbow.

Why Go with Ombre Ruffle

You can do an ombre cake without a ruffle. The ruffle works well, because the layers of fondant allow for a nice transition between the colors. They can also make fewer colors serve the transition because of the light and shadow on the ruffles.

It’s very hard to do on the smooth surface of the cake, but if you don’t like ruffles, other fondant elements can be used to create to color transition. Flowers work well for this purpose, and there’s plenty of good examples of ombre flower cakes.
