12 Wow-Factor Wedding Cakes

I scroll through hundreds of gorgeous cakes every week, and after 10+ years it can be tough to find 10 or 11 to fit a specific theme each Sunday. So this week, my only requirement? Wedding cakes that made me say "WOW."

Starting with this sweet and airy Art Deco number:

(Amanda Earl Cake Design, UK )

It reminds me of stained glass!

And on the other end of the spectrum:

(Very Unique Cakes, New Jersey)

Ohhh, now this one is like red smoke.

I can't get enough of this color combo:

(Immaculate Confections, UK)

Navy, lavender, teal, and berry. SO GOOD.

Here come more rich berry and fuchsia tones:

I love that tiny thread of gold around the edges.

At first glance I thought this next one was Haku, the dragon in Spirited Away:

(Artisan Cake Company, as featured here)

Once I realized it's actually a sugar glass spray of water, I was even more impressed! Incredible.

You don't see orange and black together much outside of Halloween, but this beauty makes a strong case for it:

A definite WOW.

The tile on this mosaic seems to be floating up and apart, which is such a dreamy effect:

And this one looks like a thickly textured oil painting come to life:

(The Cocoa Cakery, Ontario)

Gorgeous.

Check out this contrasting wave of watercolor silk:

(Fluffy Thoughts Cakes, Virginia)

So many of these are more like sculpture than cake!

Over here I see a whirlwind of angel wings:

(Cakes By Mannix, location)

You can almost hear them fluttering, right?

I didn't realize how much I love rich metallics and mossy greens 'til I saw this:

(Sandra Draskovic, Peru)

Oooh. I want a dress like this!

And finally, a purple gem fit for a Queen:

(Kek Couture, Turkey)

WOW.

I hope these brought some Sweetness to your Sunday!

That last topper reminds me of a gilded jewelry box, so I went looking for the prettiest one I could find on Amazon:

Feyarl Vintage Jewelry Box

It also comes in red!

COOKIE PUSS GETS LUCKY
the horror show you'll never believe is family-friendly, but it is, honest, just maybe don't google that exact phrase with your 'safe search' off.

COMING SOON.

...IN A SCARY WAY.

 

Thanks to Alexandra F., Sharon S., Jenn L., Dee C., Gina L., Rhonda M., & Jess R. for striking gold with these finds.

I typed in "shamrock" to search for something cute to link today, and I kid you not, this was the 3rd row of search results:

One of these things is not like the others...

But hey, if you want to make some special "Shamrock Brownies," those molds are only $11 for 3. :D
