How to decorate my cutting cake?

Molly, on August 31, 2020 at 2:08 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 22

Hey everyone! I am making my own cutting cake for my wedding this Saturday (9/5/20). I can't decide how I want to decorate the outside of the cake. Our theme is rustic americana. The inside of the cake will look like an american flag. I made a cake topper out of clay that is pictured below.

How should I decorate the outside of the cake? Simple or Extra?

(Here is my cake topper)

Option A, Simple icing, it wouldn't have the flowers.

    I prefer the simple, elegant outside with the surprise inside. Our surprise rainbow cake looked almost identical to option A.

    I think the simple frosting would be great with the really fun cake interior and the cake toppers. The cake toppers turned out awesome, by the way!

    I think that the simple would be cute since there is a design inside!

    I like the simple frosting to go with the dramatic inside.

    On top, blue frosting with white stars. On side, white with blue stripes.

    Your cake topper is already very detailed and intricate, so I would go with simple white icing to feature it and make it stand out. Simple on the outside, and fun colors on the inside
