7 Unusual Wedding Cakes To Inspire You

Wonderful wedding cakes can come in all different shapes and sizes, with the most popular option being beautiful round stacked cakes. But every so often we are commissioned to create a wedding cake that is a little more unusual.  So I have had a look back through our most unusual wedding cakes to help you with inspiration if you are looking for an unusual wedding cake.

1. Pyramid Shaped Wedding Cake

This fantastic shaped cake was created for a wonderful couple who got married at Sudeley Castle. The Groom had seen a similar shaped cake in the movie Four Weddings and Funeral and had his heart set on the unusual design. So we made it happen for him. The cake was covered with an undercoat of luxurious white ganache and then layered with fondant icing.

2. Building Wedding Cake

This cake had a wonderful story. The groom proposed to his groom on the steps of  this iconic Italian building, Vittorio Emanuele ii Monument (nick named the wedding cake), while they were on holiday Rome.  They then choose to have the building replicated in cake form for their gorgeous wedding day at Sezincote House. The cake was huge and made up of layers of delicious Vegan Madagascan Victoria Sandwich cake.

Keeping on this Italian theme, this was a wonderful cake for us to create. The couple held their wedding at the stunning Elmore Court and requested a traditional Italian wedding cake. A Millefogile is made up of layers of crisp puff pastry, cream (in this case creme patisserie), fresh fruit, nuts and icing sugar.

On an extremely hot summers day we create this awesome geometric individual triangle tower for a wonderful couple who got married at the Cotswold Field of Dreams. The couple had a geometric theme from the fabulous marquee, the tables and to cake. The individual triangle cakes were created from delicious white chocolate panels and each hand painted with either edible metallic silver and purple paint. The silver cakes were all Chocolate Salted Caramel  - Chocolate sponge sandwiched with salted caramel sauce and salted caramel buttercream and the purple cakes were all Passion Fruit Curd - Vanilla sponge sandwiched with passionfruit curd and passion fruit curd buttercream.

7. Pavlova Wedding Cake

I absolutely love Pavlova and when this wonderful couple approached to create their dream wedding cake at Mickleton Hills Farm we jumped at the chance. Four tiers of delicious light marshmallowy meringue filled with fresh Chantilly cream and fresh fruit.  Because of the fresh cream element this cake had a very short shelf life, so that meant assembling it very last minute. We also create 4x extra pavlova kitchen cakes that went straight into the fridge as soon as we arrived.
