At one point and time, we wouldn’t have dreamed of a pretty black cake. But over the last year, gorgeously-dark black cakes have been popping up everywhere. And we are absolutely loving this look. Black is such a bold color and it creates a wonderful contrast with white, soft pastels, neons and more. So today we’re taking a look at some of our favorite black cakes. Here’s 10 Pretty Black Cakes to Love!

Erica OBrien, owner of Erica OBrien Cake Design, makes a statement with her signature oversized bow that is seriously lush and elegant. It adds depth and sophistication to a textured white cake with delicate black edges.
Inspired by Jan Pienowski illustrations and fairytales, it’s easy to see why this enchanted forest design by Rosalind Miller Cakes is one of their most-requested cakes. Intricate details in solid black create a silhouette effect that is simply striking and incredibly elegant.
