thats the cake i want. i love the colors of that cake but i need it to match the colors of my wedding lol. My colors are Oasis (from davids bridal.. its like teal) and orange. there will be a little bit of yellow in the flowers and turquoise as an accent color.

so what colors should i use for this cake. i need two colors that would llook good with this cake and my wedding. thanks

Answer 1

you could use orange ribbon and wrappers and use orange as the hearts as well.  

Answer 2

You can keep the teal of the cake and just add Orange Candy Flowers to it. That will keep your teal and orange theme. I tried to findsome photos but couldn't. I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem matching your colors to the cake you want.  

Answer 3

I would use brown wrappers, have the cupcakes frosted in Oasis, with maybe the yellow on top as a flower.  I would stay away from the orange, because from a distance the brown wrappers will look black and then you'll have orange and black...Halloween colors.

Answer 4

I think the main color of the cupcakes/cake should be Oasis, and you should keep the wrappers as a brown color. For the decorative aspects of the cake, I would stick with brown, but if you really want to incorporate more color then use orange.

Answer 5

is this a Halloween wedding?  your color scheme sounds pretty loud IMO.  no way to tone it down a bit?  I suggest peach or apricot and white as your main colors (can be done on the cake) with pale yellow and pink in the flowers.  much more subtle.

and cupcakes instead of real cake only work as individual servings if the cupcakes are very small - these look rather large.  the dark brown paper is too grim.  again, stick to your color scheme unless you want a gothic look.  but it's your wedding.

Answer 6

What you typed in your additional details sounds good ;)

Anything else and it might clash dramatically

good luck and congrats

Answer 7

I think that your plan to make the ribbons and hearts orange is a great idea!  I think that the wrapper should most definitely be brown though.  Black may come on too strong.

Good luck!

Answer 8

I unfortuantely cannot view your cake from my connection (its blocked) but my wedding cake vendor that I finally chose told me that your cake does not need to match your wedding at all (everyone thought I was crazy for wanting a hot pink cake when my colors were oasis and pool throughout the wedding).  The cake is the wedding thing that can stand out on its own...so have fun with it and color it whatever you want!  My cake ended up being a white base, with two different bright blue ribbons going around each base and a range from white, silver, light pink up to hot pink butterflies cascading up the top.  

Whatever you decide to do...have fun and be bold with it! :)
