These nontraditional wedding cakes are sure to complement any kind of contemporary wedding. Whether the reception is on the seaside or held in a castle, there is an unconventional cake to suit every kind of modern wedding.
Zombie wedding cakes make a perfect dessert choice for fans of 'The Walking Dead,' while killer sci-fi wedding cakes make a delicious and geeky statement. Beachy wedding cakes are topped with sugar-filled seashells and other aquatic elements that make these cakes perfect for a Disney mermaid-themed wedding or another kind of nautical nuptial ceremony. For the lovers of Japanese cuisine, sushi-themed wedding cakes replace the usual frosting topped caked with a "dessert" made entirely of raw fish.
These nontraditional wedding cakes also include fashion-inspired wedding cakes which are as chic as they are edible.
