Swirls of Love (or buttercream, chocolate, fondant, and sugar)

Ever versatile, swirls can be playful and fun or elegant and romantic.



Red swirl cake by Manassas Cakery.
The swirls here look well-done, and I'm glad the middle layer is different. Three tiers would have made the red seem overpowering and angry.












Gorgeous swirls, such soft romance and elegance. You can practically smell the hydrangea when you look at this cake.














Celebration swirls. The explosion of swirls on top of this cake is an edible manifestation of a joyful wedding reception.














Awesome cake by Just Fabulous Pasteries -- and how aptly named; this cake has FABULOUS written all over it. The varying heights of the tiers is brilliant, and the overall height of the cake is nothing short of majestic. The swirls here add a charmingly playful element that saves this cake from edging near boredom.











A lively cake is by Indulge Desserts. This cake will really brighten up a shower or reception; it's hard to look at it without smiling.
















This cake marries a sophisticated color scheme with a lighthearted swirl design.















LOVE this one. Great colors, and a fantastic chocolate swirl design. This is my pick of the day!
