Your wedding day is kind of a big deal. All eyes on you and your honey as you strut down the aisle and party into the night. No pressure though!
One VIP guest making an appearance? The wedding cake! Your cake’s not just a sugary snack – it’s a chance to show off your style as a couple! Many pairs go for the classic 3-tier cake. White frosting, some flowery decor, the basics. But if basic isn’t your thing, spice it up with a unique, creative confection! These days, couples are kicking “traditional” cakes to the curb. They’re going for cakes with pizzazz, flair, and a whole lotta personality.
In this post, I’ll share out-of-the-box wedding cake ideas for you and your boo. We’re talking: flavors, shapes, toppers, and themes.
Get ready for some major cake inspo, baby! These ideas will help you have a cake as special as your love. Let’s get to it!
Unique Wedding Cake Flavors
When it comes to taste, don’t settle for chocolate or vanilla, unless that’s your thing. Give that cake some flavor! Red velvet, carrot cake, lemon, tres leches, strawberry – the options are endless for your palette party. Go seasonal with pumpkin spice for a fall wedding. Or pick your fave dessert flavors like cheesecake or tiramisu. Berries baked into the cake? Yum!
You can even do different flavors for each tier so guests can sample a variety. Just run combos by your baker first. The staff at Montgomery’s Sarah Epps Cakery whip up custom cakes more luxurious than a honeymoon suite. And they offer so many flavors, you’ll have no trouble veering off the traditional path.
Wedding Cake Shapes
Cake shapes got you feelin’ square? These days, trendy couples shape up their cakes for some geometric glam. Hexagons have a trendy, modern vibe. Go for an asymmetrical or angular design if you’re feelin’ funky. If your guest list is short and sweet, a single showstopping tier still brings the wow factor. Or stack your layers into unique shapes like octagons. If you’re rockin’ cupcakes, donuts, or pie instead of cake, just do a little ornamental layer. A uniquely shaped cake can be the star of your dessert spread!
One of a Kind Wedding Cake Toppers
Your cake topper is the crowning glory, so pick one that’s authentically you. Trade the basic bride and groom statue for something custom. Choose monogram letters or numbers for your date. Or snag figurines showing off your hobbies, interests, or even pets! Childhood keepsakes as toppers add sentimental charm. Flowers or greenery are pretty organic toppers. If you’re feeling playful, go for funny emoji or figurine toppers. A topper as unique as you makes for an unforgettable cake!
Geeky Wedding Cakes
If you’re a diehard fan of a show, movie, book series or anything else, what better way to tie it into your wedding than with a cake! Pop culture cakes let your geek flag fly. Decorate with characters, quotes, logos, or colors from your fandom. We’re talkin’ Marvel, Star Wars, GoT, HP, ACOTAR – the sky’s the limit! For some out-of-this-world inspo, check out the London-based baker, The Little Cherry Cake Company! Your fellow fan guests will geek out. And you’ll have a meaningful cake telling your love story. Embrace your inner nerd and let that fandom shine through!
