Gothic Wedding Cakes | Birthday Cakes

I love eating birthday cakes, especially butter cream cakes. When I was a kid I always looked forward to birthdays because of the cakes (and presents, of course). I also kind of like the dark side. Not really dark and evil, but something a little spooky yet fun, if you know what I mean. So, to me Gothic cakes (wedding or birthday) are mysteriously delicious :)

Why not plan on having a Gothic theme for your your next wedding, birthday, or other parties such as anniversaries and showers?

There are a few things that are associated with Gothic or goth, for instance, vampires, skulls, coffins, and certain symbols like the pentacle and ankh. Keep those in mind as you gather ideas for your party.

Gothic can also refer to a style of ancient architecture. Therefore, you may also want to include something like a scary or dark looking castle or mansion as part of the theme.

Black, red, and purple are the favorite colors of goths. So a Gothic themed party, including the cakes, should consists of those colors, especially black. For instance, you can have a cake with black buttercream or fondant decorated with red sugar flowers. A combination of black and white would be cool too.
