My fiancé and I don’t want
a traditional wedding cake. What are some creative alternatives?
Instead of placing round cake layers directly on top of each
other or separating them with pillars, try using square or
triangular cakes. Or play around with the layering, stacking
them slightly askew. To spice things up some more, alternate
each layer with a different flavor (one carrot cake, the other
chocolate). Rather than decorating the cake with either fresh
or sugared flowers, what about using your favorite fruit or
candy?
Talk to your baker about your frosting, too. Bakers can do
just about anything you want with icing, including replicating
a photo of you and your fiancé. Or, go nuts with your
cake topper. If you and your fiancé share the same
alma mater, for example, put your school’s insignia on
top of the cake.
Another popular alternative is the cupcake wedding cake. Stack
them like a big wedding cake or construct several funky designs
on top of the dessert table. If you decide you don’t
want to get too crazy with the main attraction, then channel
your creative juices through the groom’s cake instead.
Who says stacked Rice Krispie Treats and S’mores aren’t
cake-worthy? Whatever you decide, your options are truly unlimited
when you choose to take a hike from the traditional cake walk.
