Halloween wedding cakes

Halloween wedding cakes that will make you quake in your boots (while wanting to stuff your face!)

I fell down the rabbit hole of intricate and detailed wedding cakes and found some SPECTACULAR Halloween wedding cakes by the always amazing UK-based Black Cherry Cake Company. ‘Tis the season to make lists of all the Halloween movies to watch while crafting up wedding decor and favors, so be inspired by these cakes.

We’ve got Frankenweenie, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Walking Dead, Disney Halloween, Alien, Twin Peaks, Hannibal, and more. The mash-up cakes are particularly epic. Get ready to have your Halloween-loving mind blown…

How can we make our gluten-free cake alternative look fancier?

How can we make our gluten-free cake alternative look fancier?

My fiancé and I are both gluten-free and decided on a fall apple crisp instead of a cake. How do we dress it up for the wedding? I searched the internet far and wide and all I see are towers of cupcakes, donuts, and pies. I can’t figure out how to make a big tray of apple crisp look like a special dessert. We don’t need one hundred tiny glass jars and a throwaway option isn’t our style. Any ideas on making our gluten-free cake alternative look fancier?

You’ve heard of a groom’s cake, now learn about a blended family cake (with amazing cake topper to boot!). Yana and Fabian had lots of ways to include their kids in their multicultural wedding, but we totally fell in love with their blended family cake. It felt like a really solid way to make sure the kids understood that they’re a full part of the new union and celebration.

This steampunk cake is all dressed up with somewhere to go

There are belt buckles and a ruffled skirt lining one tier, a pearl and cameo choker on the next, a racy and lacy top tier, and of course, a jaunty top hat with a veil on the very top of this steampunk cake. I even spy a big bow in the back! Are you kidding me with all this charm? It’s making me want to wear a cake.

Shall we see more views, including of the pair cutting into this bad boy? On to the steamy cake!

No lie: these Portal wedding cake, Portal cupcakes, AND Portal cake balls win the day

Keli and James proved themselves to be massive Portal fans with their three-pronged dessert attack: a companion cube cake, mini Portal cupcakes (that are no lie!), AND even tiny Wheatley cake balls.
