Along with being one of the most anticipated aspects of your reception, your wedding cake is an extension of your décor and should reflect your personality. Choosing the flavor of the wedding cake is a challenge in itself, but more importantly, you will have to decide how you want your cake to look. Not sure where to start? Go back to your zodiac sign! Whether you’re a staunch believer in astrology or just want to know all your pie options before making a final decision, considering your sign traits can help you get started.

Find out which type of wedding cake is the most suitable for your zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): 3D Watercolor Florals
To complement your spunky Aries personality, we love this four-tier cake with watercolor flower petals and 3D accents. The cake itself is energetic, joyous, and bold – just like you!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Naked cake with fruits
You like to be practical, Taurus, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you want to sacrifice style to do it. For your wedding cake, skip the fondant and go for a naked buttercream cake. Garnish each tier with fresh fruit that is decorative but can also be added to each serving once the cake has been cut. Hello, multifunctionality!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Fondant with floral details
As a Gemini, you are known to be rational, imaginative, serious, curious, and enthusiastic – often all at once. You need a wedding cake that matches your ever-changing personality, and one that combines many design elements into a single creation that fits your needs. Opt for a multi-tiered cake with different details on each tier, such as sponge-painted accents, semi-nude frosting, and basic fondant. An elaborate gold branch on the front provides the wow factor that you secretly love.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Soft Buttercream & Rosebuds
Love is your right to fame, Cancer! Only the most romantic of wedding cakes will do for your poster, and a smooth blush buttercream is our pick. This style is subtle and understated, just the way you like it. A delicate scattering of rosebuds and greenery is a classic addition. If this cake doesn’t make you dream of your own fairy tale, we remind you that it is similar to the trio of cakes served at Harry & Meghan’s royal wedding.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): Drip cake with edible gold leaf
Leos are creative, optimistic, and irresistible in every way, which is why we’ve chosen this decadent drip cake as the ideal dessert for your wedding. This three-tier sweet is more than just a cake – it’s a delicious smorgasbord with macaroons, cherries, meringue frosting, and chocolate covered strawberries. Gold accents reflect its warm nature and sunny spirit.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Neutral earth tones
You have a gift for detail and organization, but despite your perfectionist tendencies, there is also a warm and charismatic side to your personality. Flawless levels of fondant in a neutral color speak to you like a no-nonsense earth sign, while the cascade of flowers adds a touch of whimsy.
Libra (September 22 – October 22): White Fondant and Floral Appliques
Like the balance scales of the zodiac, Libras can be found walking the line between being too uptight and too carefree. You like order and strategy, but you prefer to achieve it by creating peace and trying to find common ground with those around you, rather than looking like a controller. For your wedding cake, go for a square fondant style, then add intricate floral applications to soften clean lines and keep them from feeling too harsh. The final result? A perfectly harmonious look.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Half-naked chocolate cake
Scorpions have a reputation for being one of the darkest signs in the zodiac. While this typically refers to the secretive nature and obsessive qualities of the Scorp, we are taking it literally and suggesting a dark chocolate wedding cake for anyone born under this sign. A semi-naked cake lets the chocolate show through, while a caramel frosting and fresh flowers make this treat feel a bit more uplifting.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Macrame and Succulents
If you’re a Sagittarius, you were born under one of the most adventurous astrological signs, and you’re not afraid to take the occasional risk or two. Surprise your guests with an ultra-modern wedding cake with unexpected details like macrame knots made entirely from fondant. A non-traditional, bohemian-inspired cake like this one appeals to its independent (and slightly rebellious) style.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Classic Fondant Cake
As a top-notch quality rigorist, your wedding cake will be nothing short of a carefully constructed masterpiece, Capricorn. A simple cake with minimal details will do – there’s less that can go wrong, and you generally keep your distance from anything flashy and impractical, anyway. If you want to add embellishments (only after they meet your high standards, of course), try a plain ribbon and a simple sprig of greenery.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Blue marble and rose gold
A marble wedding cake is our top pick for any Aquarius bride or groom. This playful and trendy sweet fits her open and upbeat personality. The swirling designs on the fondant reflect your need to feel free and original, while the rose gold accents add warmth and substance to the cake.
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20): White buttercream with watercolor accent
Pisceans can tap into their artistic side with a watercolor-inspired wedding cake. A white buttercream cake is anything but boring when you add a bold blue streak, fragrant jasmine, and beautiful hellebores.
