Unusual Wedding Cake Suggestions

When you think about a wedding cake, what do you imagine? A multi tiered pearly white cake, towering high, decorated with flowers, with a bride and groom standing on top? If you answered yes, then you are not alone, as most brides and grooms choose to have this more traditional style cake for their wedding. However, just because a fruit cake covered in white icing has become somewhat the “norm”, this doesn’t have to mean you can’t be a little different.

The first thing you may want to think about when it comes to wedding cakes, is the actual flavor and style of the cake itself. If you want a cake with lots of tiers, all on top of each other, then you will need to choose a cake that has a dense consistency such as a fruit cake. If you don’t mind your tiers standing on platforms, then you can opt for a softer consistency like sponge.

Next you will want to think about icing. You don’t have to go with the traditional white marzipan or fondant. Why not go for something a little bit different like bright pink butter cream, or perhaps a thick layer of real chocolate icing. When you are choosing the type or color of your icing you should keep your wedding theme in mind, so that the colors will match.

Of course, you don’t even have to go for the usual round multi tiered shape cake. Why not stand out from the crowd, and have a square tiered shape, or one in a different shape completely like a princess castle or a grand house. Another type of wedding cake that is becoming more popular is the cupcake style cake. Instead of having just three separate cakes made into tiers, you could have lots of little cupcakes separated by tiered platforms, in different colors to match the style of your wedding.
