45 Of The Most Creative Wedding Cakes Ever Posted Online

Before you say the game-changing “I do,” there’s so much prep to do for the happiest day of your life. Picking up the most perfect white dress is one. Sending out fancy invitations to guests (and not forgetting anyone) is another. Planning the whole celebration part is third. And when the list seems never-ending, you realize there has to be a perfect wedding cake and you can’t let yet another baking fail happen.

Luckily for all the newlyweds, wedding cake artisans exist and their mad decorating skills are on a whole new level. So, Bored Panda has compiled some of the most elaborate, creative, and unique wedding cake designs that look so good they may as well hang one in a museum after the party’s over.

Get ready to upvote your faves and share some with your friend whose wedding planning has gotten way out of hand. Who knows—you may save some tears and not let cake expectations vs. reality ruin the big day, as it sometimes happens.

In order to find out what exactly it takes to create a gallery-worthy wedding cake, Bored Panda reached out to internationally acclaimed cake designer Maggie Austin, who has worked with illustrious clients all over the globe, from President Obama’s White House Christmas celebrations to Hollywood parties.

Maggie said that in order to make a truly unique wedding cake, one needs a unique couple. “What I love most about working with clients is that I create designs that reflect the aesthetic of their individual weddings. From the sugar flowers to the color palette to the texture of the design elements, each cake is an expression of what the couple loves.”

Sometimes, Maggie said, she’s asked to incorporate details that carry special meaning just for the newlyweds. For example, “One bride asked me to include a wild boar in the design as a surprise homage to the groom's family crest!”

The cake designer said that usually, she begins working on sugar flowers and decorative elements many months in advance, and the cake decoration takes place on Friday night before a Saturday wedding. “I am putting on final touches right up until the moment that I leave the venue. I love that the sugar flowers last forever.”

Moreover, “many couples choose to display their sugar flowers under a cloche as a beautiful memento of their wedding,” Maggie told us.

Maggie also said that she prefers “loose, organic floral arrangements and soft, textile-inspired design elements.” These days, she has noticed that couples are more likely to embrace the beauty of visual movement instead of the rigid symmetry typical to more old-fashioned cake designs.

When your cake is bigger and more intricate than the one the Queen of England had, you either made it or went a little over the top. Or both :) I almost hear the crunchy cracking when biting in the sugar columns.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't invite my current pop culture obsession into a ceremony that's meant to last the rest of my life. A film series or video game theme seems really appropriate for a birthday party that's about a snapshot of your age, but it would just feel weird to be looking through old wedding pictures in the future and explaining that these are all settings and characters from some cartoon you watched 30 years ago.Incredible cake work on everything here, though!

But it depends on the couple. Perhaps they bonded over that particular theme, then looking at pictures in the future would be a wonderful memory. If it represents the couple and what they love, I see no problem.

I have been a trekkie for 50 years. There are Star Wars people that have been fans (War Heads?) for a long time too. We go to conventions. It's not only a "pop culture obsession)...wait, it is. lol But it can last a life time. LLAP

I’d rather have a wedding themed to some pop culture thing I was into at the time instead of yet another bland, generic, white decorations and flowers wedding like everyone else has. I sure wouldn’t pay that much money for a cake that’s 50% fondant and Rice Krispies like all of these are, though, regardless of theme.

Cake lady 4 years ago

I do understand what your saying but agree with JessG says. I once did a cake for a couple who met at a Bruins game, The bottom layer was iced to look like a rink with a zamboni on one side and a hockey net on the other. The other layers were raised on pillars and very traditional. They absolutely loved it.
