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.
Gold Wedding Cake with Apples
One of the best things about fall? Apples!
Picking apples, drinking apple cider, and of course wedding cakes with apples as the topper.
OK, so maybe that last one isn’t so typical of fall but it should be.
Just look at this monochromatic white and gold cake – it is so perfect for fall. It is so elegant and yet simple at the same time. Read More
S’mores Wedding Cake
If there’s one sweet treat that almost everyone loves it has to be s’mores.
The ooey, gooey marshmallow and melted chocolate sandwiched between graham crackers – well, it’s heavenly.
So why wouldn’t you want your wedding cake to be a s’mores wedding cake? I can’t think of one reason.
This gorgeous wedding cake is that s’mores wedding cake we’ve all dreamed of and it looks delicious. Read More
Single Tier Wedding Cake
There is something to be said for a lovely one-tier wedding cake.
While I’m a fan of big wedding cake with many tiers and embellishments, I also think there’s no reason to go overboard on cake if you’re planning a small, intimate wedding reception.
If that’s the kind of reception you’re planning then you’ll want the cake to match the small setting. And that’s when you go for the single tier wedding cake.
But small wedding cakes don’t have to be boring – in fact they should definitely stand out and make a statement.
Like this beautiful one-tier cake topped with colorful pom poms.
It’s pretty. And simple. And perfect for a small reception.The silver pine cone is a pretty touch and gives the cake a nice fall feel. And of course you could personalize the pom poms with your wedding colors.
We found this cake here.
Oreo Cookie Wedding Cake
I don’t know about you, but if I buy a package of Oreos it takes every ounce of willpower I have to not eat the entire package of Double Stuf Oreos in one sitting.
Which means I’m totally in love with this Oreo cookie wedding cake alternative.
What’s not to love? It’s made completely of Oreo cookies. Just give me a big glass of ice cold milk and I’ll see you later.
In all seriousness (Oreos are serious business after all) I really do love this idea. We’re talking about a three-tier “cake” created entirely of Oreo cookies. Read More
Bundt Wedding Cake
I’m always looking for great non-traditional wedding cakes – something out of the ordinary and unique.
I think today’s cake fits that description.
I give you the “bundt cake wedding cake.”
Now, when I think about bundt cakes I think about birthday cakes with chocolate glaze drizzled on the cake. I have never thought about a bundt wedding cake. Until now.
I love the simplicity of this cake – there’s no muss, no fuss. It just a two-tier bundt cake frosted with simple white icing drizzled down the sides. Read More

China Pattern Inspired Wedding Cake
It used to be a tradition for a bride and groom to pick out a china pattern before they married.
Then, guests would purchase items from the china pattern and gift them to the new couple. I was one of those brides who registered for a china pattern. I’ve used it exactly once in the past 12 years.
But just because choosing a china pattern has fallen out of favor with some modern brides doesn’t mean your cake can’t be inspired by a china pattern. Read More
