By

Try Textured Concrete

A two-tiered cake definitely doesn't have to be dull. This confection incorporates stunning textured concrete with flecks of gold detailing and a few blooms to make a statement.

Embrace Delicate Elegance

There's a certain elegance to a tall, two-tiered cake. According to cake designer Nicole McEachnie, she wanted this Swan Lake princess-inspired cake to embrace femininity and innocence, and this design pulls that off flawlessly.

Incorporate Multiple Shapes

Want a truly unique two-tiered cake design? Embrace the concept of multiple shapes. With a square tier, a round tier, and intricate sugar florals, this cake is ready for any outdoor-inspired wedding.

Display Painted Flowers

Calling all spring couples! This two-tiered blue-hued cake makes the most beautiful statement. We can't get over how darling the handpainted buttercream flowers are to match a garden setting.

Choose Light and Airy

You can certainly stick with a traditional, all-white wedding cake if you opt for two tiers. But consider taking it up a notch. This confection incorporated wispy sugar petals for a lovely, effortless design.

Showcase Beautiful Blooms

Pressed florals are having a moment, and we don't think that trend is dying down anytime soon. Embrace this concept and press pretty florals on a two-tiered cake for a gorgeous display.

Consider Chocolate

It might be difficult to embrace an all-chocolate wedding cake, but we're here to tell you that it can certainly be the perfect fit. This two-tiered treat definitely commands attention, with a bit of drama from the added chocolate drip.

Add a Cute Topper

We love the way the two tiers of this cake were crafted with a different number of layers for an interesting design. With its naked look and bold cactus topper, a design like this would be such a beautiful showcase at an outdoor summer wedding.

Opt for Buttercream Palette Painting

This two-tiered cake is certainly unique with its off-balance shape. But it's the buttercream palette painting and soft hues that truly make it a masterpiece.

Pick Pretty in Pink

Two-tiered wedding cakes don't need to utilize the same measurements for each tier, even when it comes to width. We love the way the top tier of this confection looks slightly offset, with pretty blooms and a pink bunny tail to tie it all together.

Go for Color

Planning a tropical or destination wedding? Don't be afraid to embrace multiple hues. This two-tiered cake features two stacked squares, each with a different design, and a cascade of florals that are just bursting with color.

Incorporate Multiple Sweets

Looking for something a bit different? Why not incorporate two different types of sweets in a two-tiered cake? Consider opting for cake on the bottom, with a charming tower of macarons serving as the top tier.

Wow With Watercolor

Watercolor designs are always so awe-inspiring, and this confection is no different. We love the way a bundle of beautiful blooms brings together the two tiers.

Deck It Out With Detailing

With a two-tiered cake, it's a bit easier to add plenty of detailing. After all, there's less surface area than a five-tiered cake. With detailing added by hand and handmade sugar flowers, this sweet is truly show-stopping.

Make It Playful

Want to have your favorite doughnuts and eat your cake, too? This playful treat featured mini doughnuts all the way around, separating the two tiers in the most unique way.

Try Two Tones

Two tiers mean twice the options for color and design. This sweet brings a bright pop of sunny yellow into the mix, paired with a more subtle white tier, for a lovely spring or summer look.

Set a Bold Statement With Black

Few options make quite the statement that a black wedding cake does. But this two-tiered stunner goes even further, incorporating intricate detailing, figs, and florals.

Keep It Sleek and Simple

There's certainly no shame in keeping your design simple. We love the sleek, smooth look of this two-tiered white cake with a few bundles of blooms to top it off.

Create Interest With Citrus

Planning a summer soirée? Citrus is beautiful when added to warm décor. Consider choosing a simple, white, two-tiered cake paired with slices of blood oranges for a delightful display.

Opt for Organic

Use a simple two-tiered white cake as the base to add plenty of organic beauty. We love the way this confection is decked out in greenery and petals for a pretty spring look.

Go Modern With Squares

Embrace a modern vibe with sleek lines and squares. This two-tiered cake pulled off a refined-meets-rustic vibe with the addition of buttercream detailing and a few florals.

Top With Pretty Blooms

This cake is as charming as it can be. We love the sweet little buttercream pearls added to each tier, paired with lovely hydrangeas and dogwood flowers.

Channel a Rustic Vibe

Have you and your partner ever carved your initials on a tree? Mimic that moment with your wedding cake. This two-tiered cake embraces a birch tree design, paired with an etched monogram, for a rustic occasion.

Add a Chocolate Drip

Adding a drip of caramel, white chocolate, or chocolate ganache, as the baker of this cake did, adds such a unique element to a design. We especially love the way this addition stands out on a two-tier white cake, paired with sweet succulents.

Be Ready for the Beach

Getting ready for a beachside ceremony? This two-tiered confection is dressed for the occasion! With a beautiful sea blue hue, a water cascade, and a few shells, this cake is nothing short of stunning.

Make It Moody

Who says a two-tiered cake can't embrace plenty of design elements? This cake showcases a beautiful purple hue paired with beading and a moody mixture of textured florals to pull it all together.

Go for Gold

Choosing to incorporate one white tier and another colored tier is such a great way to create contrast with a two-tiered cake. We love the look of this gold tier paired with Viburnum berries.

Show Off a Splash of Color

Buttercream detailing doesn't have to be all florals. Opt for a slender two-tiered cake and command attention with color on both tiers for a fun design.
