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 Cake with Ribbons
I have, over the past year or so, become a fan of non-traditional wedding cakes particularly those that go beyond a white wedding cake.
I love finding cakes that use different hues, whether they’re bright and colorful or more muted black and white.
Which brings me to today’s cake – this lovely black and white cake with ribbons.
It’s another amazing creation from our friends across the pond, Hockleys Cakes and I absolutely love this cake. Read More
Emerald Green Wedding Cake
Before I saw today’s wedding cake I will admit that I never once thought about green as a wedding cake color.
But this cake – courtesy of Hockleys Cakes – has me singing a different tune!
I absolutely love this emerald green cake. It is so stunning and so unique and will leave other cakes “green” with envy!
And it isn’t just the green color of the cake that has me saying WOW – it’s that brooch. Seriously that is just downright incredible. And stunning. And it adds to the rich look and feel of the cake. Read More
Crushed Candy Wedding Cake
In my quest to find a wedding cake that was both beautiful and brightly colored, I stumbled upon this lovely confection and just had to share it with you!
It reminds me of this rock candy wedding cake we featured a few years back but I think I like this yellow, sunny cake a little bit more, if only because the color reminds me of sunshine and spring and warm weather.
Admit it – you thought of sunshine as soon as you saw this cake, right? Read More
Button Wedding Cake
I’ll be the first to admit that I can barely sew a button onto a shirt, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love buttons.
There’s something about buttons – they’re cute and round and have so many more uses than just holding your coat closed.
Take for instance this wedding cake adorned with edible buttons.
It’s a rather whimsical cake and is certainly not a design that immediately comes to mind when one thinks “wedding cake.” Read More
Blue Damask Wedding Cake
There is something to be said for an elegant wedding cake. And this damask wedding cake is both elegant and beautiful.
We’ve featured damask cakes here before and each time we do the cake is so incredibly gorgeous that it’s almost too pretty to eat.
I love the color combination on this cake more than anything – it’s what drew me to the cake, more so than the damask scrollwork.The blue and brown work so well together and they’re perfect colors for a late fall or early winter wedding. And with a blue cake, you’ll have your “something blue.” Read More
Yellow Wedding Cake with Sunflowers
My favorite thing about fall – other than all things pumpkin flavored – are the stunning colors of the leaves in the trees.
I love the contrast of reds and oranges against a blue fall sky, but my favorite fall color is bright yellow.
Those yellow leaves seem like the last connection we have to the warmth of summer. They’re also the color of my favorite flower – the always cheerful sunflower.
Which bring us to today’s cake. It’s a gorgeous three-tier cake and it’s all yellow! Read More
Dia de los Muertos Wedding Cake Topper
I hope you’ve all recovered from eating way too much Halloween candy last night because I have something totally unique and way cool to share with you today!
Check out this “Dia de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead) cake topper!
OK, so maybe it’s not the first thing you think of when you think “cake topper” but you have to admit it’s pretty cool. And it would be THE statement piece at your reception. Read More
Teardrop Wedding Cake
While we all know that crying at wedding is expected, your guests might not expect this tear drop cake.
This cake is so original and whimsical that it is going to leave you and your guests smiling all evening long.
I love the simplicity of the design. It's a gorgeous white fondant cake covered with more fondant “tear drops.” Read More
Genie Wedding Cake
It's Wednesday and since we can all use a little wackiness in our midweek routine, I thought I'd make today “Wacky Wednesday” and feature a cake that is anything but ordinary.
So without further ado, I give you the Genie Wedding Cake. Read More
Woodland Wedding Cake
There's a distinct chill in the air and the leaves are finally changing, so in my mind it is officially fall.
Which means I'm going to start sharing some great fall-inspired wedding cakes and other goodies. I absolutely love fall weddings – maybe because I had one many moons ago – and there is so much you can do to spruce up your fall wedding day.
For example, you could have a beautiful cake like this woodland themed cake.
Look closely, those ARE mushrooms on a wedding cake. Read More
