Creative wedding cakes take a bit more imagination and planning than the traditional ones, but that's where the fun comes in!
Sometimes the most creative wedding cakes aren't even cakes at all.
Don't feel limited to the traditional white, several-tiered cakes that have been around for decades.
White cakes are beautiful, but not for everyone.

Modern wedding cakes are more than a sweet dessert.
An offshoot of the popular cupcake wedding cakes trend, couples are now choosing to have single serve miniature cakes to each guest.
The mini cakes can be multiple or single tier wedding cakes.
Because modern wedding cakes have become a major attraction at the reception, couples want their cakes to look like a work of art.
Cakes can be designed with text that wraps around each tier, perhaps with a favorite Bible verse, quotation on love, or romantic song lyrics.
Another way to personalize cakes is to print engagement photos (with photographer's release) with edible ink onto special paper than can be used on the cake.
In recent years, round cakes have given way to square wedding cakes and other shapes.

There are many different cake themes for groom cakes that can be used depending on the personality of the groom and the theme of the wedding.
Groom's cakes are traditionally chocolate, but as with many other things in weddings today, it's fine to break with tradition and have the groom's cake be any flavor you like.
The point is that the sky's the limit when coming up with cake theme ideas for groom cakes.
Of course, one of these fantasy cakes might be out of your price range, so going with a simpler design for the groom's cake might be a good idea.
What do you think of when you think of wedding cakes with beach themes?
Buy enough materials to make two to three cakes.

Grooms cakes are found at rehearsal dinners, bachelor parties, and even at the wedding reception.
Some grooms cakes are simply sheet cakes with deer painted onto them, either with frosting or with the newest technology of photo transfer onto the top of a cake using rice paper.
You will commonly see these deer shaped cakes featuring only the head of a deer, much like what would hang inside the cabin wall of a ski lodge.
However, you will have to go to an authentic wedding bakery, as opposed to a bakery that merely sells wedding cakes.
For example, many grocery store bakeries now carry a small selection of wedding cakes, however capturing wildlife in frosting is not their forte.
Deer grooms cakes are sure to make the day of a husband-to-be who loves to hunt wild game, or just wants the macho look of a deer head in his honor.
Finally, some cakes are designed each year as inspired by the newest line of bridal attire rolled out by notable designers.
The majority of spring wedding cakes involve flowers in some way, be it fresh or artificially created.
Wedding cakes took a cue from this idea, with bakeries designing a smooth white cake with edible pearls or a silver trimmed ribbon.
Oscar de la Renta also inspires cakes with spring bridal designs, with plenty of ruffles and bows to spare.
Popular cakes simulate this with fondant cascades, sugar bows, and colorful ribbons.
Winter wedding cakes are elegant, and an all white cake or a cake shaped like wrapped packages is the perfect choice.
Red velvet cakes can coordinate with seasonal colors, and a chocolate peppermint cake is a unique flavor choice.
Snowflake wedding cakes are also popular for Christmas weddings, or a couple may choose a sleigh wedding cake stand or a Claus couple wedding cake top for more seasonal touches.
The cost of professionally made wedding cakes can soar into thousands of dollars depending on specifications, so focus on the basic qualities of what you want most in a cake.
Tiered cakes can have round, square, rectangular, or abstractly shaped layers, and they can be stacked, arranged with pillars, or made in other styles.
The majority of tiered cakes are supported and constructed with dowel rods, which hold the multiple levels in place and keep the cake from imploding.
Professional bakers often use dowel rods to construct tiered cakes.
Sheet cakes are generally more affordable than tiered cakes because they take less time to decorate, are easier to transport, and don't require as much special equipment.
Additionally, stacked round cakes lend themselves well to detailing and unique designs, and (for decorators) they tend to be easier to cover with fondant than cornered cakes.
Round cakes look particularly nice when covered in buttercream and piped with borders at the tops and bottoms.
Stacked square or rectangular cakes are an elegant choice for a wedding.
They look especially classy when they're wrapped in bows or presented with fresh flowers, and they have the added advantage of being easier to cut and serve than round cakes.
They can be stacked evenly with other square cakes, stacked at an angle, or combined with layers of round cakes to create a more diverse look.
They're also far more affordable than most wedding cakes.
Specialty and custom-designed wedding cakes have a number of advantages.
If you prepare well, the odds are slim that you'll need a backup, but you should have one ready just in case, whether it's a stack of plain cakes that you can ice quickly or a store-bought cake that you can serve if it's needed.

For weddings with large cakes and a smaller number of guests, it's fine to cut the slices a bit bigger.
Tropical cakes burst with flowers, color, enticing scents, and exotic flavors, which makes them favorites among brides and grooms all over the world.
Most beach cakes involve a water or island scene with palm trees, a traditional bride and groom cake topper, and extras such as a cruise ship or edible "sand."
Beach cakes are common, so most bakeries should have experience doing them and will be able to provide more ideas if necessary.
A themed cake is more unique than many other tropical wedding cakes.
Prices on wedding cakes are normally proportionate to how much work the decorator puts in, so keep in mind that making a lot of flowers may take a while.
This includes all aspects of choices, from dresses, flowers and cakes to venues, entertainment and food.
Sheet cakes and large round cakes are common at weddings for brides and grooms who want to save money, since they don't cost as much as tiered models, and any cupcake cake can be made in a flat rectangular or circular shape.
If you want a completely smooth surface on the cake, ask the decorator to bake shallow cupcakes or shave off the tops of domed cakes so that they present a better platform.
Brides and grooms who want subtle pops of color may also want to consider what a few well-placed turquoise ribbons or flowers could do for their cakes.
Looking through a photo gallery of sample cakes can help narrow down the choices and give you an idea of the styles you like best.
Always meet with potential cake decorators ahead of time to taste cakes and frostings and discuss your vision for a cake as well as your budget.
Since most traditional wedding cakes feature a pure white buttercream or fondant coating, choosing a bright color makes a statement and draws a lot of attention to your cake.
Some of the classiest wedding cakes differ from the norm in simple, subtle ways, so using only small bursts of a bright color like turquoise is very effective.
Turquoise ribbons, bells, sugar balls, dragees, candies, or embossed designs are other possible choices that all lend a distinct look to cakes.

Some couples have a hard time leaving their wedding cakes in the hands of anyone who isn't a professional baker or decorator, which is completely fine.

Coral is one of the most beautiful ocean features and is seldom used in cakes.
Although no guest wants to feast on a grainy, rough slice of wedding cake, brides and grooms don't have to worry about that because the majority of "sand cakes" are light, moist, and flavorful.
While beach theme wedding cakes aren't for everyone, they're usually a huge hit with guests and a fun and interesting way to spice up any reception.
Fall theme wedding cakes are elegant vehicles for showing off the gorgeous, understated colors and features of the harvest season.
To do that, spend some time looking through galleries of pictures of fall wedding cakes or sketching your own designs that reflect an autumn theme.
Few brides and grooms celebrate the abundance of the fall harvest with their wedding cakes, but it's a theme that's tied to nature just as closely as leaves or flowers.
Spring and summer may be the most abundant seasons for flowers, but there are a number of blossoms that shine in autumn, and they're certainly worthy of being featured on wedding cakes.
Looking through bridal catalogues or sample galleries of unusual cakes can help spark ideas for creative designs.
Square or rectangular wedding cakes look classic with their clean lines, and more unusual shapes, such as hexagons or pentagons, make for beautiful presentations.
Heart shaped cakes distinguish themselves from traditional round cakes with their striking appearance, but they can be every bit as elegant and refined.
Since they fit so well with the inherent theme of all weddings, it's also easy to customize heart-shaped cakes to fit other themes and correspond to set color schemes.
Most heart shaped wedding cakes don't have elaborate wedding cake toppers, but some do show the traditional bride and groom models or a spray of flowers at the tip of the smallest tier.
Flat heart shaped cakes (of just one tier) work well for small weddings and for couples who have a tight budget.
Everyone expects wedding cakes to be white, but heart cakes done in soft pink, off-white, ivory, or fire-engine red are especially memorable and look great in photographs.
Because heart shaped cakes are more difficult to bake, frost, and decorate than round or square cakes, they also cost more.
The most immediately recognizable Western themes work well for wedding cakes because they'll be popular with guests and photographers alike.
Even though Western-inspired cakes are unconventional, there's no good reason for engaged couples not to go for one if their budgets will allow.
Choose a graphic that matches other image used throughout the wedding, such as wedding bells, cakes or doves.
Castle cakes give couples the opportunity to showcase their individuality and personalities at a reception.
Of course, castle cakes do have a few downsides as well.
