Food

We all love alternative cake and nontraditional cupcakes, but Offbeat Wed also adores wedding pie, wedding candy, and wedding wheels of cheese. We have wedding menus, and information for special diets like vegetarians vegans, gluten free folks, and more!

Gorgeous wood grain cake as seen on @offbeatbride

This wood grain cake is our rustic wedding dream cake

I spied this amazing wood grain cake at the wedding of Jalyn and Andrew at Alderbrook Inn and Resort in Union, WA. They had a rustic forest theme with pine cones, slices of logs, bundled wood place cards, and of course, this cake made to look like wood grain. It as like a fancy camp-out in the woods, all at their fingertips.

Let’s have an adventure and take a peek at the cake and other rustic woodsy wedding details…

This IS the Star Wars meets Star Trek sci-fi dessert bar you’re looking for

We’ve got Michelle and Phil’s “Oscars in space” wedding coming soon, but I couldn’t wait to share their geektastic Star Wars meets Star Trek dessert bar. It’s the final frontier in satisfying your sweet tooth at the reception. We’re talking Wookiee cookies, Death Star cake balls, Star Trek iced cookies, pretzel lightsabers, and R2-D2 oreos. Plus there were even themed drinks like “The Beverly Crusher” and “The Dark and Stormy Side.” Let’s take a sneak peek before we see their full wedding later this week.

11 wedding cake fails so bad they’re good

What’s one love we share with the rest of the world? DIY fails. We love ’em and who can blame us since we’ve probably all failed at one Pinterest project or another and are on DIY burnout mode.
