24. Modern Neapolitan Wedding Sheet Cake with Black Sesame Swiss Meringue Ruffles
This striking wedding sheet cake brings a contemporary twist to the classic Neapolitan profile. Created for a Sunday celebration, it layers chocolate buttermilk cake with a strawberry soak, burnt honey chocolate ganache, sumac-roasted strawberries, and a vanilla buttermilk top tier — a rich, complex flavour journey in every slice. The real showstopper? The ruffled Swiss meringue buttercream, which graduates from ivory to deep charcoal through varying levels of black sesame, giving the surface an elegant, modern ombré squiggle effect. Plated on a sleek black slate and surrounded by bold tulips and calla lilies, this cake is an absolute statement piece — minimalist in form, maximalist in flavour. Perfect for modern couples with an eye for design and taste for the unexpected. Cake by @picnicbakedgoods.
