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.

Love it more than any other on this list. This one makes my mouth water just looking at it.
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.

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!
JessG 4 years ago
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.

These cakes are beautiful. Lots of time anc effort. And money. I hope that the vows spoken are seriously ready to devote the time and energy required to get through a lifetime. Weddings have little to do with why we have them. I'm all for a great party. The exorbitant prices associated with all things bridal are insane. I just can't imagine forking out $18-20k for a wedding gown. All these Cinderella's who wake up the next day and realize they have nothing to plan or arrange or do like they had for the past year or more. And a year later they can't stand each other. Then there's the opposite, me, who never got married because of my fear of failing at it. Got asked, but then lay in my bed looking just like Billy Crystal did when he finally slept with Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally". So let's all just eat the cake anyway. Dressed up, dressed down, married or not. Their artistry can not be denied.
Mimi777 4 years ago
Don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted. I totally know what you mean. I know several people who were more concerned with having a huge fancy wedding and expensive dress than they were with their actual marriage and spouse. Regardless these cakes are beautiful works of art and should be celebrated for that reason.
