As you may or may not know, wedding cakes can come in all shapes and sizes these days. Some artists that have crafted masterpieces in other fields have now started making wedding cakes exclusively just because of the freedom and creativity they have.

If you’re anything like me, you’re in frantic mode trying to plan your wedding. Coming up with ideas for your cake just hasn’t been at the top of your list. So, i’ve taken the time to do some thinking and come up with some wedding cake ideas for you to ponder.

And the wedding cake ideas are….

 
  • One of the coolest wedding cakes i’ve ever seen was a cake that was multi-tiered, three or four high, and shaped in the form of present boxes. The cake was so cool because it even had the ribbons and bows wrapped around it.
  • One of my personal ideas for a cake would be to have a giant heart with two wedding rings(edible!) locked together on top with the names of the bride and groom written in frosting. I think that would be very beautiful.

    • I hope these couple of cake ideas will spark an image in your head as you plan your wedding. Something else that may help you in selecting a cake for your wedding might be to check out some more ideas on our wedding cakes page. And remember, order your cake at least 6 months before your wedding date.

  • A very unique wedding cake idea is, and this is a very seasonal cake….a wedding cake shaped like a Christmas tree. This wouldn’t be that hard to pull off, really. Perhaps like a 7-tiered round cake, frosted green with garland and ornaments(all edible of course!) wrapped around it. Don’t forget the angel or star on top, either!
  • Here’s another one of the great unique wedding cakes I came up with. What if your wedding cake was shaped like your dream house? You read that right, and no, i’m not going crazy either. You could have the house be a couple of tiers, have a swimming pool in back, a garden, a patio with the bride and groom dancing, the possibilities are endless!

    • Well, I hope you’ve gotten some great ideas to use for a unique wedding cake.

    Wedding cakes are an important part of your ceremony, so pick a wedding cake that’s right for you.

    For centuries, wedding cakes have been very powerful symbols in weddings. Wedding cakes now come in many different styles such as multi tiered sheet cakes, modeled after different objects like cars, and even wedding cupcakes in some cases.

    Think about the wedding cake topper you want to use, as well. The old-fashioned bride and groom as the cake topper is no longer your only option. Now you can get figurines in many different poses, and many different ethniticities. Even your wedding cake toppers can be politically correct now. ;-)
