Unconventional Wedding Cakes
In today’s wedding world, it seems that most wedding cakes are unconventional. It’s almost unconventional to have a white on white wedding cake! But in an unconventional wedding cake might refer to the design, the topper, or the flavors featured. Regarding design, one popular unconventional style today is the topsy turvy, asymmetrical design. Stacked cake layers give the illusion that the cake could spill over any minute, when in fact, the cake is balanced and level. Unconventional toppers are another way that a couple may make their cake unique. The couple who loves Angry Birds, for instance, can feature the adorable characters perched atop their cake. Can’t last a minute without your cell phone? There’s a wedding topper for that, too. Prefer Goth to Victorian? No problem. A talented baker can help you realize your dream cake. But you might opt for traditional design and toppers, and still find ways to be unconventional with flavors – even savory alternatives to wedding cakes, like “cakes” made of wheels of cheese, or layers of savory meet pies, might stand in for a conventional cake. So, express yourselves! In cake! And send us pictures.
Fun and Whimsical Cake Topper
Gone are the days of the ‘traditional’ bride and groom cake topper. Now it’s all about modern and “playful” decor for the top of your wedding cake.
I’m sure gonna miss those porcelain figurines atop a white wedding cake.
But seriously, all joking aside … I really do love seeing fun and whimsical cake topper on wedding cakes. Heck, I’m even a fan of just using fresh blooms to accent the top of your cake.
As long as the cake topper adds beauty to the cake I say go for it! Read More
A Wedding Cake Made of Cheese
I love cheese.
I’m talking I could eat cheese at every meal if given the opportunity. Which is probably why I would love to be invited to a wedding reception where the cake was made entirely of cheese.
Just like today’s wedding cheese cake.
This stunning cake was created using five wheels of cheese and it would be the perfect “cake” for a reception where there was also a dessert buffet. Read More
Ocean-Inspired Wedding Cake
I love the beach. Specifically I love how the color of the ocean can change throughout a day from dark blue to greenish-blue and back again.
This wedding cake reminds me of my favorite ocean color – that sea green-blue when the water is clear and you can see to the bottom.
The three-tier cake features square cakes adorned with simple white icing and seafoam green Necco candy wafers. Read More
Colorful Wedding Cake
We’ve had a lot of rain around here lately. A lot. But one of the things I love about summertime rain showers is the possibility of a rainbow if the sun just happens to be peeking out during the deluge.
I’m also a big fan of rainbows in cake form – especially if we’re talking wedding cakes.
Think about how fun a rainbow cake would be. Your guests see all these layers of cakes with simple white icing but when the cake is sliced…BAM! Rainbow! Read More

Summer Strawberry Wedding Cake
Here in the midwest it’s officially strawberry season, which is rather exciting if you’re a fan of the bright red sweet and juicy berries.
Me? I prefer mine with a big bowl of whipped cream and sans shortcake, but if someone was to offer me a slice of wedding cake adorned with strawberries I’m pretty sure I won’t turn it down.
Especially if that strawberry wedding cake looked like this beauty! Read More
Wedding Cake with Peach Flowers
I have a confession to make. I don’t like the color peach. Or the color orange. Or any color that might be close to peach or orange.
But, I love this wedding cake – peach flowers and all.
Look at this cake! It’s so elegant and unique and gorgeous. And if I was getting married (again) I’d want this cake at my reception.
The three-tier cake would be gorgeous without the flowers too thanks to the smooth white icing and the black ribbons with diamond-like brooches. That combination is something I’ve never seen on a cake before and I love it. Read More
White Candy Wedding Cake
I have a serious sweet tooth and will admittedly eat just about any candy except for black licorice.
And so when I saw today’s wedding cake all decked out in different types of white candy I just had to share it with you!
We’ve showcased cakes here before that were embellished with jelly beans and other candies, but this all-white wedding cake is perfection. Read More
White Wedding Cake with Red Roses
Everything is coming up roses!
OK, there aren’t any real roses blooming around here yet, but I’m a total pushover when it comes to roses. They’re easily my favorite flower – for weddings, for Valentine’s Day, just because.
Hand me a rose and I’m a pile of mush.
Give me a wedding cake topped with roses – real or not – and I’m an instant fan.
And this cake is gorgeous. It’s almost beyond gorgeous – if there was a word for that. Read More
Rainbow Wedding Cake
I saw a news report this week about a rare quadruple rainbow that was spotted over New York State. As a big fan of rainbows I thought that would be pretty cool to see.
And then I found this rainbow dot wedding cake and my week was made!
I love this wedding cake so very much. It’s fun and whimsical and pretty much screams “spring!” in a refined way, of course. Read More
Blackberry Wedding Cake
I’ve recently decided that I need to eat more fruit and fresh berries are currently on the top of my list of must-have snacks.
So, when I saw today’s wedding cake I just knew I had to share it with you because it looks delicious and it would be perfect for a spring or summer wedding.
This two-tier blackberry wedding cake is absolutely stunning thanks to the blackberries surrounding each tier. Read More
