Is There a Cake That's Considered Timeless?

The white, three-tiered, round wedding cake has remained a classic throughout the years. This confection is comprised of vanilla pound cake and white buttercream filling, and iced with either white buttercream or fondant. Sophisticated and streamlined, it stays true to its purity by avoiding exotic flavors and heavy embellishments. The cake's decor consists of simple patterns, such as piped shell borders, small swags, delicate scrolling, or ivory rosettes. For the topper, a few fresh roses or calla lilies give this wedding cake a slightly updated look without sacrficing the classic style, but the traditional bride-and-groom cake topper is the most timeless.
