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.

I’m always on the lookout for non-traditional wedding cakes. I love the idea of serving something that isn’t cake like pancakes, rice krispie treats, or even doughnuts.

Right now there’s a fun fad in the world of desserts – whoopie pies! They’re a classic old school dessert and they’re also what makes up today’s featured wedding cake. Read More

Naked Wedding Cake with Strawberries

If there’s one fruit that makes me think of all things summer it is the strawberry.

It could be the dead of winter (like right now) and if I buy strawberries at the store I feel a little more hopeful about warm weather that is coming down the pike.

Which brings me to today’s wedding cake. This lovely, simple one-tier cake adorned with strawberries. Read More

Stamp Wedding Cake

Now here’s something you don’t see every day. A wedding cake adorned with a rainbow of British stamps.

This cake is my new favorite cake.

First, I love stamps. As much as I love all things technology, there is something to be said for “snail mail.”

I used to write to my pen pal (who just happens to live in England!) every few weeks when we were younger. I had boxes of letters, all with lovely British stamps. Read More

Blue and Red Wedding Cake

I’m not sure how I feel about today’s featured wedding cake.

There’s almost too much going on for one cake. I love the light blue icing and the sprinkle layers. I also love the deep red ribbons between tiers.

But the red flowers with peppermint candy centers? Those are pretty too. But put together – it just seems so busy at first glance. Read More

Purple Wedding Cake with Flowers

Purple is my absolute favorite color. It’s the color of royalty and it’s my birthstone.

And had I given it much thought, I would have added purple to my wedding color scheme all those years ago. Like, maybe by having a purple wedding cake.

Just like today’s featured cake.

This lovely, muted purple cake is stunning. Read More

Gold and White Wedding Cake

As we creep through winter gray hues of January it seems like the perfect time to think about a shiny, metallic wedding cake!

If you’re looking to add some glitz and glamour to your big day, a metallic wedding cake might be the perfect way to do just that!

It doesn’t have to be over-the-top or garish, but even a slight metallic accent takes a plain white cake to a whole new level. Read More
