22 nontraditional wedding cakes
No one turns out an incredible wedding cake like an Offbeat Bride — y’all make your cakes work, whether they’re geeky, nerdy, booky, spooky, rainbow-y, or romantic…y.
I went strolling through some of our most pinned wedding cakes (cough, that’s Pinterest, yo, follow us if ya haven’t!), and I’m just now picking my drooling jaw up off the floor. There are some seriously great cakes in here that show us who YOU are. What you think, what you love, what you’re proud of, and what you believe.
Your fantasy-loving hearts will explode from the pop culture references in this cake
We’ll be featuring Sarah and James’ colorful and geeky U.K. wedding soon, but we couldn’t wait to show you their fandom-fantastic Hobbit-meets-Labyrinth-meets-Watership-Down cake made by the obviously talented folks at Black Cherry Cake Company! There are a metric ton more references going on, so get ready for the run-down. Don’t forget to say ‘allo to the tiny worm from Labyrinth peeking out on the bottom left, which may be the cutest version EVER.
Use your cake pops as a pop culture nod
Individual desserts made for “cake cutting” photos give you a great opportunity to stamp a little personality into the nomming. Amy Joy and Christian had two of their cake pops turned into a golden snitch and a German flag, respectively.
Shower your cake in edible confetti
Adding confetti makes just about any occasion that much more fun — so why not top your wedding cake with confetti you can eat? Miriam and Zachary took their wedding cake up a notch at their Casablanca-inspired old Hollywood wedding by doing just that. MMMMM.
