The Modern Wedding cake

Clean, Straight Lines and simple decorations in the form of cutouts of chocolate, pastillage, marzipan, or nougatine define contemporary wedding cakes. Fresh flowers or fresh fruits are frequently used. The cake itself may be almost any variety, from cheesecake to mousse cake to sponge with fruit, or even a charlotte. Almost any type of icing may be used, with good-quality buttercream most common. Offset cake stands are the rule for modern cakes, since they are too light and fragile to be stacked.
