Autumn is such a wonderful season; filled with change as the leaves change colour and fall.
Autumn brings with it the feeling of cosyness and a beautiful colour palette that you can’t help but translate into a wedding cake. If you’re thinking of having an Autumnal wedding, there are lots of different directions you can take with your cake style.
Browse the photos below and fall in love with Autumn all over again.
Check out this gorgeous Autumn creation from Peak Patisserie, featuring dried grasses and orange flowers tied with a brown ribbon for a statement look.
If you’d like a subtle nod to the Autumn season, make use of Autumn leaves and use them to decorate your cake. You could also ask your cake maker to create fondant versions of Autumn leaves and add these to your design, like Peak Patisserie has done in the photo below.
Aren’t these individual cupcakes perfect? With fondant autumn leaves in a mix of colours adorning each one, they’re the perfect wedding cake treat!
Or why not opt for actual Autumn flavours in your wedding cake, such as pumpkin spice or ginger cake. Apples and blackberries are also prime for picking in Autumn, and will be at their best tasting, perfect for wedding cake flavours. Pair Apple with caramel for a particularly tasty cake sensation!

A rustic semi-naked cake with autumn-toned florals and berries for decoration is wonderfully simple, yet an effective Autumn cake design. This design worked well as the actual cake flavours were fruity, with a sticky toffee tier for good measure.
You could use the rustic browns, mustard yellows and oranges in the Autumn colour palette for your cake icing colours and keep it simple; And for those who love Autumn but Halloween is their favourite, use the wedding cake as a canvas for your favourite Halloween elements. Ghosts, pumpkins and witches can all adorn your cake for the perfect spooky theme.
Opt for a black wedding cake to take this theme to the next level, just like Red Velvet Bakery has done below!

If black's not your bag, tone it down with a green base, while still giving a nod to Autumn in your decorative accents, like Red Velvet Bakery has done here with Autumn browns, greens and yellows in the style of painted autumn leaves.
The flavours in this cake were carrot & orange, red velvet and for a final flourish, a decadent rum and ginger tier - you can't get more autumn than that!
