Novelty Wedding Cakes for Creative Brides and Grooms
March 6, 2008
I love flipping through bridal magazines and seeing all the creative wedding cakes (and groom’s cakes) that people come up with. It’s really amazing.
I think most of these cakes would be considered over-the-top by the average bride and groom — who, I’d guess, would prefer something abstract and/or elegant to, say, something with a Super Mario Bros (!) theme.
But they’re still totally worth a look — you never know what sort of idea might be sparked by a novelty wedding cake. 
Things:
Jukebox cake
Tea for Two cake
Daleks & Phone booth cake (here’s an explanation)
Grandfather Clock cake
Turtle & Elephants cake
Classic Car cake
A Suitcase cake… and, another Suitcase cake
Rotary Phone cake
Nintendo cake (perfect for a retro wedding!)
Dog cake
Places:
Mountain cake (perfect for ski buffs)
Lifeboat cake
Yacht cake
French Village cake
Taj Mahal cake
Moroccan Pagoda cake
Japanese Pagoda cake
Sherwood Forest cake, for the Robin Hood fans
Minas Tirith, for the Tolkien-obsessed
Which of these is your favorite? Would you ever use one at your wedding? (Or, maybe a toned-down version of one of them?)
[...] Nancy Callahan ’s site is fantastic! I thought I’d share the latest post on the site which grabbed my attention: Novelty Wedding Cakes for Creative Brides and Grooms [...]
Hi, my friend sent me the link to these pictures. You have used two of my cake pictures, and I have to say, here in the UK, it is quite common to have something “Different” for your wedding cake. The dog cakes - which I did two different ones last year as well, were actually the bride and grooms dogs. Big dog fans. The Suitcase wedding cake is quite a common cake here. Some times the bride and groom go abroad and get married, then come back and have the reception,so the suitcases are quiet apt. I personally wouldn’t say they were “over the top” at all. I make all sorts of cake to suit everyone, that is why my diary is always full booked. I love making the “different” cakes, sometimes cakes can be so boring, 3 tier with flowers on - not very individual at all, no imagination. So its a good job, there is such a nice wide choice out there to suit everyone.
