The cake is a customary aspect of your wedding that can just not be left out. Traditionally the wedding cake was said to bring good luck to the guests and couple once it was eaten and shared amongst everyone. Today, it is more of a centerpiece and is often just cut, not served to simply uphold its traditional aspect during your reception.

So, you obviously want a cake to keep the traditional component in your wedding but are trying to move away from the typical 3-tiered white buttercream frosting style? These are a few fun creative ideas to spice up the traditional cake at your wedding:

It’s easy to make your cake your own and can come down to just adding abstract designs, fresh flowers or even just a variety of colors. Also, change up the shape! Round is the traditional shape but square, rectangle, hexagonal all work for a creative wedding cake.

Cupcakes! Cupcake, cakes are getting more popular as they can be put together and decorated in many different ways. The best part is they are easy to actually serve to guests. Having mini cakes at every table is also a cool idea. Cake pops work too!

Try holding off on the frosting and just adding berries, flowers, and powdered sugar for a sweet summertime creative wedding cake feel.

Love chocolate? Go for it! Your cake doesn’t have to be the traditional white with butter cream frosting.

Choose a favorite quote or song lyric and have your cake artist display it on your cake for all your guests to see!
