With this four-tier hexagonal confection, the Mahers conjure up the shimmery scales of sea creatures; roughly 500 fondant circles-in varying hues of pale green-are adhered to the cake with royal icing. Occasional coppery-edged rings recall the brilliant flash of fish as they swim.

For something a bit more unexpected, let the chairs you'll use at your ceremony or reception serve as the basis for your cake. The grid pattern of this caning (on a folding chair from Ballard Designs) makes a bold, graphic statement when enlarged onto three tiers. Sullivan laid strips of white fondant atop a green fondant to achieve the crisscross effect.

Colette's Cakes for Betsey Johnson

Wendell T. Webber

The prolific designer's Spring 2009 collection was a visual jamboree of pirate-inspired looks, peasant dresses, and rock and roll garb-but her cake focuses on ruffles. "I came out at the end of my spring 2009 show wearing three huge square-dance petticoats," Johnson says.

Small blooms such as stephanotis, the only flower used in this bouquet by New York City florist Chestnuts in the Tuileries, look like a lush field of blossoms when repeated all over a wedding cake. For this creation, made of two equal-size tiers topped by a smaller one, Kate Sullivan, of New York's Lovin Sullivan Cakes, used a base of white fondant. She attached nearly 600 handmade sugar-paste flowers using royal icing.

"We wanted to bring out the deeper colors of the ocean," says Mary of the rusty red coral set dramatically against this cake's stark white exterior. She and Brenda handcrafted branches from gum paste, coated them in tiny candies, and then punctured each tier with minute holes for added texture.

Whether the plates you registered for have a classic border or a more modern, organic feel-like this whimsical set by Tord Boontje-their design can translate beautifully onto a round tiered cake. In this case, N.Y.C. baker Kate Sullivan hand-painted Boontje's motif on fondant using a mix of lemon extract and powdered red food coloring. She made the animals' eyes and the blossoms' centers with dots of royal icing.

For this beauty—vanilla and chocolate cakes separated by roasted-pineapple buttercream and chopped pistachios—celebrity cake-maker Ron Ben-Israel, who works in N.Y.C., used still lifes by Dutch and Flemish old masters as inspiration (hence the cascade of tulips adorning the pale peach-pink quilted icing).
