Artist Lukka Sigurdardottir took unusual wedding dresses to the next level when she made this edible wedding dress (or wearable wedding cake, if you will). The question nobody dared to ask: how is the bride supposed to move and walk around?
If there’s one thing a couple should spend for on their wedding, it should be the wedding cake. Aside from satisfying the sweet tooth of their guests, a well-designed wedding cake serves as an interesting focal point and unifies the theme of the whole event. Here are my favorite wedding cakes from 2009.
The cake itself isn’t much to look at, but you gain a better appreciation of it once you find out that it was made to look exactly like one of the Chanel white dresses and origami headpieces by Karl Lagerfield. There are several other Chanel-inspired wedding cakes made after the other dress designs.
I’m not sure who ordered this gorgeous multi-tiered Super Mario wedding cake to be made, but whoever they are, they are one cool couple. The cake is offbeat and unusual without trying too hard, and it’s very well-designed.
If you look closely at the tiers of the Super Mario wedding cake, you’ll see that a lot of attention was placed into translating the game’s visual details into fondant. The cake even comes with figurine-sized fondant recreations of Koopa Troopas.
And it only makes sense for Mario and Princess Peach to sit on the top tier!
Remember Karl Lagerfeld’s origami headpieces from the Chanel Spring 2009 fashion show? Well it turns out that he didn’t intend for the Spring 2009 collection to be a bridal one; it just so happens that he felt like doing a minimalist, all-white collection with rich details. Yet I can’t help but associate the lovely white Chanel dresses with weddings and towering white wedding cakes. Most of us may not be able to afford a Chanel wedding dress, but who says we can’t have wedding cakes that match the ruffled edges and lacy trims of the white Chanel dresses? Check out these Chanel-inspired wedding cakes based on the Spring 2009 collection.
Wedding cakes are more than just a sweet finale to the ceremony and reception; they’re also a major style statement. Like fashion, wedding cake designs evolve with time and are a great vehicle for creative couples to play with shape, embellishments, and color.

Chocolate face
Weddings have had traditional white cakes for decades now, but couples no longer hide rich decadent chocolate behind a shield of white fondant. Dark chocolate is now the face of wedding cakes, just like chocolate cakes are appropriately dressed in creamy chocolate frosting. The result: a mouthwatering chocolate dessert that tastes just as good as it looks! If you don’t like an all-chocolate face, you can incorporate white elements using white chocolate.
