The wedding cake is a very personal aspect of the wedding that can be easily changed to fit in with the wedding theme and palette. There are so many different methods of icing and decorating, that you can recreate the pattern used on the reception table runners to match the cake. You can do just about anything you want, and in a modern wedding, this leaves you plenty of room for creativity. Here are some unique ideas for great traditional wedding cake alternatives to get you inspired.
For the chocolate lovers out there, this Truffle Cake (found on Snippet and Ink) should do the trick! It’s a great alternative to flat cakes with rounded corners, you can have tiered, towering cake you always wanted with a fun twist. This type of cake also fits in with just about any theme, as the design is minimal and the texture is enough on it’s own. It’s simplicity at it’s best, with an original twist.
For something a little more creative, you can go for a Rice Crispy Treat Cake found on The Knot, or an intricately designed cupcake tiered cake by Cake Creations. How beautiful is that? There is even a traditional top tier for the newlyweds, perfect for setting aside for the one year anniversary! Cupcakes are a great way to give you freedom in the presentation of your “cake”.
