A visual guide for wedding planners, cake artists and brides who want their cake to feel fully integrated into the wedding design
As a cake designer myself, I’ve seen how easily cakes become disconnected from the overall wedding design — and I created this guide to help bridge that gap.
I run Kiss That Cake, a wedding cake studio working closely with planners and couples on real weddings — navigating moodboards, venues, timelines, and all the constraints that don’t exist on Pinterest.
So I created this book. Each example is built with real cake design in mind—feasible forms, believable textures, and each concept also shows how colour, props, or even a sweet table can be used to deepen the atmosphere of your wedding design.
What you receive
- 45+ pages
- A complete, designer-curated visual board for every month

This playbook helps you find that mood – then choose the cake and colours that belong to it.
Who this playbook is for
Brides
Who are visually sensitive, easily overwhelmed by inspiration, and want a smarter way to choose their cake direction and colours.
Wedding planners, Sytlists and Cake Artists
Who want a professional, cake-centred visual tool to help clients decide on mood, and to brief cake designers more clearly. High-resolution moodboard for your proposal.
(This is not a technical book for learning how to bake or decorate. It’s a visual and conceptual guide – about taste, atmosphere and decision-making.)
What this book helps you do
- See what kind of cake vibe you’re actually drawn to (not just save 300 random photos on Pinterest).
- Connect colour, cake and styling together so your cake doesn’t feel like an afterthought, but part of the whole scene.
- Use a shared visual language between bride, planner and cake designer when you talk about “mood”, “tone” and “style”.
- Choose with confidence between romantic, minimal, botanical, vintage, Old Money, playful, etc. — instead of feeling lost in endless inspiration.
What’s inside each chapter
Each of the 12 chapters includes:
- A cake-centred concept story explaining the mood and personality of that “month”.
- A primary colour palette that anchors the feeling of that world.
- Alternative palettes showing how the same mood can shift warmer / cooler, softer / stronger.
- Cake notes on shapes, textures, details and styling cues – how the cake “behaves” inside that world.
- Styling direction for how the colours can live across flowers, tables, fabrics and overall atmosphere.
- “Best suits you if…” hints to help you recognise yourself and your partner in that chapter.
- A full, high resolution moodboard with cakes, styling and details, so you can instantly see the world you’re stepping into.
You can fall in love with one chapter and build your wedding around it, or mix elements from different months to create something uniquely yours.
