Unusual Wedding Cakes

Unusual Wedding Cakes are are great if you want to do something a little out of the ordinary for your wedding.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of choices for you when deciding on the perfect wedding cake. Basically, there are a few different ways to make your wedding cake unusual.

Shape

By choosing a different shape of cake other than the standard round, square or rectangle you will be well on your way to finding that perfect unusual wedding cake. You can also take the standards and either tilt, or stack them differently to make the cake unusual.

Colour

Standard wedding cakes are usually white or off-white. Slap in a few different colours and your cake is bound to stand out as unique.

Theme

Definitely when you include your theme into your wedding cake, it is going to be unusual. some great examples to look at are the Western Wedding Cakes and the Beach Theme Wedding Cakes.

Choose either to go all out or toned down, it's going to be up to you! Here are some of the cakes I found on a great site called Cake Central.
