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.

All-American Wedding Cake
Today I wanted to feature a patriotic, All-American cake. Something red, white, and blue.
Let me tell you, it's amazing what you can find when you Google “patriotic wedding cake.”
My favorite cake that I found during my search was this beauty. I love the bright colors of the bottom blue tier and the top red tier. I also love the stark white tier in the middle, accented only by a red, white, and blue ribbon.
I think this cake would be perfect for a Memorial Day wedding, or a Fourth of July wedding, or even a wedding in the middle of September. Read More

Flashback Friday – Hilary Duff’s Wedding Cake
I'll be the first person to admit that frosting is the only reason I eat cake. In my opinion, there should always be a high frosting-to-cake ratio. But I'll let that rule slide this one time, because I love the look of this celebrity wedding cake.
May I present to you – the naked wedding cake.
This nearly frosting-less stunner was the cake at Hilary Duff's wedding to hockey player Mike Comrie back in 2010.
The three-tiered cake only had frosting in between the layers. The rest of the cake was “naked” – completely devoid of frosting. But I'm sure it still tasted great. Read More
