Your edible piece of art is a big choice and will stand out in your memory for years to come.

If your big day is coming and you’d like to stand out from the status quo, there are plenty of wedding cake alternatives available to you.

In this article, we’ll look at 4 unique wedding cake ideas.

 

1. Something Elegant

While traditional white wedding cakes never go out of style, maybe you’ll find something a little more elegant to fit your needs.

Colors like white, gold, and silver make these cakes sleek and attractive.

Elegant wedding cakes are simpler, minimalistic versions of a traditional wedding cake. Some of them may be closer to a piece of art than a centerpiece of a table, but they are beautiful in their own way all the same.

Here are 30 elegant wedding cake ideas to give you some inspiration.

2. Donut Stack- or Something Like It

Have you thought about going small?

4. Pies

Believe it or not, one of the popular wedding cake alternatives is homemade pies.

While pie is certainly a different dessert altogether, it still can contribute to your wedding

You can do a multi-level pie arrangement, or even 1-2 really big pies. This article contains a few examples of pies, along with some other nontraditional wedding cake ideas that might interest you, too.
