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.
Separated Tier Wedding Cake
This gorgeous cake follows the trend of separated tier wedding cakes, offering the cake a wider surface area while sticking to the same amount of actual servings. Transport is also much easier, as each cake is transported in a separate box; this means that the cake still has a dramatic presentation without the dramatic “will it get there in one piece” fiasco!
I also really like the piped detail along the sides. The modern vertical lines offer a nice juxtaposition with the soft, traditional rose and lily toppers.
Finally, check out those cool cake stands! Rose petals inside!
