Pies instead of a wedding cake

Here is a great idea that I stumbled upon! Pies in different flavors, if you want to have an alternative to a wedding cake:

pies and tarts

dessert bar pies

barnyard wedding pies

So Pretty and So Yummy Wedding Cakes

I'm thinking of pretty wedding cakes right now in flavors like tiramisu, carrot cake, or chocolate cherry! No matter what flavor you choose, make it creative and one that reflects your personality. My personal favorite cake would be one with three tiers having three distinct flavors in white chocolate, lemon, and raspberry. I would opt for a buttercream rather than fondant. The color would be a pretty pink cake with white sugar icing. See the cakes below and notice the first one:

When choosing your cake, what do you look for? Don't forget that you can always match the cake with your theme and colors. Choose a flavor that you and your fiance will enjoy. There's nothing worse than ending up with a cake flavor that neither of you like, so take the time to sample as many cakes. To view more examples of cakes, please see Wedding Magazine UK.

Black Wedding Cakes - So Cool

I love these black and white wedding cakes. They say something a little bit more sophisticated than other cakes simply because of their unique color contrast. I simply think that it brings out a certain romantic touch to a wedding. While you see many cakes in various colors, a black and white has a different personality all together! These lovely finds on the Web are sure to grab your fancy:

Truffle Tower Cakes - Oh Wow!

Chocolate truffles! Who would have known that they can be made into a wedding cake. Yes, they can and their called truffle tower cakes. When I stumbled upon these cakes, I realized that they are certainly a great alternative to traditional cakes that use icing. The idea behind truffle cakes is to have a cake that is all covered with chocolate truffles. Then as an added treat, you can have the truffles come in different flavors to complement the flavor of the cake. From what I gather, it looks like the style of truffle cakes were inspired by the French croquembouche simply becaus of their towering design. So, here are the ones to check out:

Tracey Mann Cakes from the UK - this is my absolute favorite one!



Truffle Sensations from Canada - this is also so pretty.

Lifesize Wedding Cake

A really original and cool idea for a wedding cake - a lifesize version of the bride. I think one for the groom would have been nice, too! Think it's tacky or way overboard?
