How can we make our gluten-free cake alternative look fancier?

How can we make our gluten-free cake alternative look fancier?

My fiancé and I are both gluten-free and decided on a fall apple crisp instead of a cake. How do we dress it up for the wedding? I searched the internet far and wide and all I see are towers of cupcakes, donuts, and pies. I can’t figure out how to make a big tray of apple crisp look like a special dessert. We don’t need one hundred tiny glass jars and a throwaway option isn’t our style. Any ideas on making our gluten-free cake alternative look fancier?

This blended family cake topper wins the honorary Brady Bunch trophy

You’ve heard of a groom’s cake, now learn about a blended family cake (with amazing cake topper to boot!). Yana and Fabian had lots of ways to include their kids in their multicultural wedding, but we totally fell in love with their blended family cake. It felt like a really solid way to make sure the kids understood that they’re a full part of the new union and celebration.

This steampunk cake is all dressed up with somewhere to go

There are belt buckles and a ruffled skirt lining one tier, a pearl and cameo choker on the next, a racy and lacy top tier, and of course, a jaunty top hat with a veil on the very top of this steampunk cake. I even spy a big bow in the back! Are you kidding me with all this charm? It’s making me want to wear a cake.

Shall we see more views, including of the pair cutting into this bad boy? On to the steamy cake!

No lie: these Portal wedding cake, Portal cupcakes, AND Portal cake balls win the day

Keli and James proved themselves to be massive Portal fans with their three-pronged dessert attack: a companion cube cake, mini Portal cupcakes (that are no lie!), AND even tiny Wheatley cake balls.

One cake to rule them all: a Lord of the Rings wedding cake

This Lord of the Rings wedding cake by Hope’s Sweet Cakes is totally going to be My Precious. I’m loving the four tiers of books: The Hobbit, Fellowship, Two Towers, and Return of the King. Any bookish and/or fantasy wedding would rock the shit out of this cake.
