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.
Strawberry Wedding Cake
One of my favorite summertime fruits is the strawberry! They’re sweet and perfect and can be used in so many ways, even on a wedding cake!
I love strawberry shortcake and today’s naked wedding cake reminds of that sweet treat.
This wedding cake was created with pound cake (of course!) and layers of mascarpone cream and strawberries. I think it might be my new favorite spring or summer wedding cake. Read More
St. Patrick’s Day Wedding Cake
Tomorrow we’ll all be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and the wearing o’ the green, so today seemed like a good day to showcase a cake with little green shamrocks!

Pancake Wedding Cake
Yesterday was National Pancake Day which is a completely awesome holiday! I mean, who doesn’t love pancakes?
And to celebrate (a day late) I just had to find another pancake wedding cake to share with you.
I love the idea of a non-traditional wedding cake, especially if you’re hosting a smaller brunch reception (or even a breakfast reception). While I love wedding cake as much as the next person, not everyone wants to eat cake for brunch. Read More

Gray Wedding Cake
OK so maybe you haven’t given much thought to a gray wedding cake – after all gray is usually synonymous with dreary things.
But it can actually be a stunning color on your cake when it’s done the right way.
This three-tier cake isn’t drab or depressing – the charcoal gray icing is dark and elegant and set off by colorful fruit, succulents, and gold leaves.
As much as I’m a fan of traditional wedding cakes when I see cakes that showcase ‘thinking outside the cake box’ design it’s exciting. And this charcoal gray cake is a new favorite. Read More

Wedding Pies
It’s time to think outside of the cake box today!
As much as I love wedding cake (actually all cake), sometimes it’s nice to color outside the lines and do something unexpected.
Like serving miniature pies instead of wedding cake.
Now that’s a dessert trend I can get behind.
Everyone goes to wedding receptions prepared to eat a slice of cake but what if you wowed your guests instead with cute and delicious miniature pies? That would be an amazing reception! Read More

Fun Wedding Favors – Bottles of Bubbles
Who doesn’t love blowing bubbles? It’s so fun and takes you back to the lazy summer days of childhood.

But enough with the nostalgia! Read More
