Unusual wedding cake ideas?

Hello!

I am planning on getting married next year & we like the idea of cupcakes instead of the traditional marzipan wedding cake as neither of us like marzipan. I would welcome any ideas, we are after something that little bit different? Do you have any unusual wedding cake ideas?

I like the idea of cupcake towers. They are very pretty and easy to serve.

I know this post is old but for others that are looking, semi nude cakes are popular these days

Cupcakes sounds like an amazing idea, what about a fruit cake with almond icing? Why not get butter frosting?

What about a cake that is stacked really crooked and looks like it is going to fall, so everyone goes ‘how is that all holding together’ kind of reaction.

I can’t stand the Marzipan either. Love the idea of cupcakes, would make them a lot easier to hand out to guests.

A friend of mine had Cake Pops as her wedding cake and then had a top tier as the “Traditional” side of things. Another friend had Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in the shape of a Cocen Bouche and had the toffee all around it. Everyone loves doughnuts 🙂 PS I like your thinking, I’m getting married in 1.5 years and am thinking of doing something like the above.

Maybe have macaroons instead, a small cake to cut that just have some buttercream icing as I have seen that smoothed out mazipan.

I make cakes for my business, delightfully delicious cakes. I recommend that is you don’t like sugar paste or marzipan, get a cake that uses butter icing or chocolate for the icing. Ask for what you want and shop around until you find what you want.
