Orange, burgundy, and burnt orange wedding cakes are popular colors for fall weddings. I did a lot of cakes for rustic fall weddings, and many of the brides wanted to have an elegant wedding cake that matched their fall wedding color schemes.
These are some of the wedding cakes that matched the fall wedding aesthetic, ranging from casual to sophisticated, and using a lot of shades of orange.

Orange and burgundy roses wedding cake.
This fall wedding cake had a simple vining pattern piped in buttercream around the center of each tier, and clusters of orange and burgundy gumpaste flowers on each tier.
I brushed the flowers with multiple shades of orange to give them some dimension, and added burgundy gumpaste berries along with orange gumpaste hydrangeas as the filler flowers.
Topsy turvy orange and burgundy wedding cake.
This topsy turvy cake had burgundy and orange stripes on the top and bottom tieres, and piped designs on the center tier. The icing was buttercream, and the stripes were made from fondant.
Orange and gold wedding cake.
This wedding cake had orange fondant and gold and silver edible sequins that I made from gumpaste and wafer paper. The bottom tier was a double-barrel and the top tier was 1 1/2 times the normal tier height.
Orange expanded rose wedding cake.
This wedding cake was off-white and had an orange expanded gumpaste rose that spread from the top tier to the bottom. It’s a dramatic look but also simple, since there wasn’t any other piping or texture on the tiers other than a small strip of bling wrap.

Wafer paper autumn leaves wedding cake.
This rustic wedding cake had wafer paper leaves in a cascade on the tiers. Since these are printed on wafer paper they’re thin like real leaves, and they look realistic because I used photos of real leaves to make them.
You can get them on my website here: wafer paper autumn leaves.
Fall wedding cake with callas.
This square tiered wedding cake had real satin ribbons on each tier, and gumpaste callas in burgundy and orange tones.
If you want to use satin ribbon on a buttercream cake, you can rub them with crisco so that they’ll absorb the oil evenly before putting them on the icing. That keeps them from absorbing the oils from the icing in a splotchy pattern.
Burgundy callas and ivy wedding cake.
This small wedding cake had burgundy callas and roses with vines of green ivy in gumpaste.
