Many weddings have a candy station or they just give out cake as the dessert, but this unique idea from Pinterest will have all the guests reminiscing about their childhood camping days.

Wedding cakes are usually very girly, flowery, and classy, but a lot of the time that just isn’t symbolic of a couples’ relationship. If you want to do something really out there with your cake, a great idea is to have the groom’s cake play just as big a role and the traditional wedding cake. It doesn’t have to be a wheel spitting chocolate onto the gorgeous white-tiered cake, but displaying the two cakes together in a playful way is the perfect way to show everyone that the bride and groom have equal focus at this wedding.

If you don’t want to have a whole other cake for the groom and you’d really prefer a more traditional look for the most part, this Pinterest idea is the perfect touch. By incorporating a sneaky character into the cake that represents the groom both bride and groom can be equally represented. Plus it’s a really cute idea that the guests will love.

If you don’t have a wedding cake and you opted for the cupcake tier instead, this is a classic Pinterest idea. Getting back the a more traditional and feminine look, having cupcakes iced like flowers just adds a level of beauty and romance to your dessert station. Who doesn’t love a white rose cupcake?

Finally, something special for the kids! When everyone gets a glass of champagne to toast the happy couple the kids can munch on cookies and raise their glass of milk. This is the perfect idea for couples with lots of young children at the wedding. It’ll be so popular we’re sure some of the adults will even be jealous!

The pictured topper is adorable, and better yet, it literally tells part of your love story.

It’s hard not to look at this All Partied Out topper and not giggle. If you have friends and family that won’t scold the alcoholic joke, then this option may be a hit at your wedding. If your reception is going to be the biggest party of the year, we have a feeling that this cute cake topper will suit you and your spouse-to-be perfectly.
The Play on the Classic Cake Topper

This final cake topper option is a play on the classic bride and groom topper. For this one, we suggest crafting something cheeky that has grounds in real life. Does your soon-to-be-hubby play too many video games, watch too much football, or not do any chores? Why not poke some fun at him by depicting yourself dragging him away from his old bad habits. The perfect (and funny) symbol of a new beginning!
Whichever off-beat wedding cake topper your choose, make sure the theme or idea has personal meaning to you (as a couple). Be sure to choose one that is displayed in good taste, won’t offend guests, and that you won’t look back on and regret. If you design a wedding cake topper that truly depicts you, you can’t go wrong!

A white wedding cake is a traditional wedding staple, but it may be time to shake things up with you big day dessert. As lots of traditional wedding aspects continue to change, cakes are becoming more unconventional in design. Some couples are even opting for options like cupcake towers or cake pop platters. If you’re less than formal, perhaps an alternative cake, fun cupcake structure, or cake pop display is for you.
A Non-Traditional Cake

Having a non-traditional wedding cake may be right for you if you want to ditch some aspect of the tradition, but not the whole lot. You can serve anything from a traditional shape with bold, new colouring, or you could completely rearrange the shape of the cake. As long as your new cake matches your personality, wedding environment, and colour scheme, go nuts! If you’re creative, you could help design a personalized, unconventional cake with your baker. If you’re not artsy, have your baker show you some examples, and trust him or her with the reigns.
Some great custom wedding cake shops in the Toronto area are Bobbette & Belle, The Wedding Cake Shoppe, Le Dolci, and For the Love of Cake. Most cakes start at $350.
A Cupcake Tower

Are you a huge cupcake fan? Are you excited by the extravagant flavours that bakers are inventing? Do you like the idea of guests being able to grab a cupcake and go? A cupcake tower may be right for you. In lieu of a cake, a cupcake tower can be built to look just like one. With a tower, you can have an eye-catching wedding dessert and your design options are endless. Having a wedding cupcake tower gives you the option of many different colours (of cake and frosting); individual garnishes and toppers; multiple flavours for cake, frosting, and filling; and more! Bakers can meld the couple’s favourite flavours together to make a meaningful set of cupcakes.
Some wonderful cupcake shops in the Toronto area are Desmond & Beatrice, Dlish, OMG Baked Goodness, and Sullivan & Bleeker. Most cupcakes are under $3.
Cake Pops

Another cake option is cake pops. If you’re highly innovative and you love the latest trends in food, a cake pop platter or display may be for you. Having cake pops as your wedding dessert will certainly make yours a wedding to remember. They’re easy to pick up and pop in your mouth, and due to the icing used throughout the cake batter, they’re always sweet and moist. As pictured, you can see that the pops can be decorated, even though they may be small. A bride and groom design is a safe option, but if you want to be totally out-of-the-box consider a design based on your wedding colours, favourite hobbies, sports teams, defining qualities, or occupations.
