Unusual Wedding Cakes

A wedding celebration is most of the time chosen to be performed in many unusual ways to allow it to be quite unique when compared to other, and the same goes for the menu that can contain the unusual wedding cake as its piéce de résistance.


The unusual feature can come as a mark of the bride’s personality and style or it can be the reflection of the wedding couple’s inspiration and creativity. Either way, the unusual wedding cake can present itself as the unique print that wedding couple has put on the wedding reception and on the entire wedding celebration as well.

A romantic couple, for instance, will be very inclined to opt for symbols that relate to the feeling of love, romance, such as hearts or cupids used as toppers that can be further kept as the symbolic icon of their wedding day. The icing will of course differ from one wedding couple to another, but the unusual element can come with the combination of flavors contained in the wedding cake. Each flavor can as well have its particular colored icing and as a result it will consist of an elaborately made taste of an unusual wedding cake.

Another unusual wedding cake can be built with doughnuts that have been frosted individually with individual flavor arranged in a decorative style that either can have a meaning or simply suggests the wedding cake itself.

To amaze your guests with an unusual wedding cake format you could have a special cake created and decorated on a special table that will be introduced to your guests when the lights are dimmed in the reception room preparing everybody for the wedding cake moment.

The table can have in the middle a small water fountain that starts running on the sounds of the music with a show of colored lights that will spring from the middle of the table. The effect will be of a multi colored water springing from the middle of the wedding cake in the rhythm of the music that announces the moment of wedding cake entrance.

For the water drops not to spoil the aspect of the wedding cake it can as well be covered under a big glass cupola that will be preserved on top of the water fountain for the rest of the evening. It can work very well not only for the unusual wedding cake aspect but can be used also as a great decorative item for the atmosphere of your wedding reception celebration.

Unusual Wedding Cakes

The wedding cake is to the reception as the bouquet is to the ceremony – and more. It is often the focal point of the decor for the reception hall standing tall and beautiful. Moreover, it is functional because it serves a dual purpose of providing, not only the symbolic imagery of the sweetness of a new marriage and the hope for all the goodness that will bring, but also because the wedding cake provides desert for the guests as well.


Anything you can dream up is possible for your wedding cake. Sports themes, beach scenes, buildings, animals, movies, whatever you desire. There’s a designer out there who can create it and bake it. Even if you are on a limited budget, you don’t have to settle for plain and mundane.

Unusual cakes are becoming more and more common than the traditional wedding cake.

The flavors of the cake can be just as exotic as the design itself. You can actually have something besides vanilla or even chocolate. Grand Marnier, pumpkin, cappuccino, chai tea, peanut butter and jelly, cookies and cream, all flavors are legal. If you feel like your tastes may be too unusual for your guests, have a second plain sheet cake as an altern.

Your cake doesn’t have to even look like cake. I mean, get creative, a funny shape, a funny picture, a funny taste is going to get people surprised, maybe even a little shocked. I mean, you don’t want your cake to be unpleasant to the taste, but it doesn’t need to be conventional. Go crazy, it is your wedding day.

Now that you have a unique cake, design and flavor, don’t forget to add a just as unusual wedding cake topper to match your theme. There are so many different toppers available online you probably will be able to find one that will fit your theme.

If not, there are places that will create your very own unique wedding cake topper for you. Artists will actually hand carve the topper to your specifications. This customization will cost a little more. You may also need you to submit your request sometimes months in advance in order to have it ready for the wedding.

Some of the best examples of unusual wedding cakes are created for celebrities. With a bigger budget than us common folk, celebrities can have some of the most elaborately decorated cakes. For example, Blair Underwood’s Eiffel Tower wedding cake stood over six feet tall. Ashlee Simpson’s wedding cake complimented her Alice in Wonderland theme with an odd concoction of a top hat, clock, tea kettle and flower pot. You can get plenty of ideas from celebrity examples, but then find local bakers that can design your cake within your budget.
