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.

Black and White Ribbon Wedding Cake
There’s just something about a black and white wedding cake that (subtly) screams glamour and elegance.
I’m a fan of the traditional white wedding cake – even though I do love cakes with pops of color too – but when the only color added is black it takes the cake to a whole new level of awesome.
I love this wedding cake. The tiers are iced to resemble lace – perhaps just like the lace in your wedding dress. And then each tier is embellished with a gorgeous and modern black and white fondant ribbon. Read More
Tree Trunk Wedding Cake with Leaves
The leaves are falling from the trees in earnest around here and I have to admit I’d prefer if the leaves stayed on the trees for a bit longer. Because we all know that once the leaves have fallen the snow takes over.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Today we’re talking about leaves. Bright colored fall leaves.
Just like the fondant leaves on this “tree trunk” wedding cake.
I just love the cool fall vibe of this cake. Read More
