Let Them Eat Cake (But Make It Slay):

Wedding Cake Ideas That Go Beyond the Tier

Traditional tiers? Cute. But if you’re ready to serve something a little different, we’ve got you covered. From nostalgic treats to modern showstoppers, here are some sweet ideas that bring flavour and personality to your big day.

Millefoglie Magic

A true Italian icon. Layer upon golden, flaky pastry with fresh cream and berries — millefoglie (aka “a thousand layers”) is the dreamy dessert that looks luxe without trying too hard. Want to add drama? Have your caterer stack and fill it live in front of guests for an epic dessert moment.

Croquembouche, But Make It Modern

Tower of caramel-dipped profiteroles? Yes please. This French classic is having a moment, but with a twist: think edible florals, gold leaf, or even matcha custard. It’s architectural, dramatic, and perfect for couples who want a centrepiece with flair.

Mini Cakes on Grazing Tables

Forget slicing and serving – mini cakes on your grazing table are the ultimate cute-meets-convenient moment. Think bite-sized beauties in different flavours, colours, or designs that guests can grab as they mingle.

Ice Cream Dreams

Planning a summer wedding? A gelato bike, ice cream cart, or classic Mr Whippy van is the ultimate way to keep things cool and fun. Whether you’re dishing out scooped-to-order cones, loaded waffle cups, or frozen treats from a vintage trike, it’s a nostalgic nod that guests of all ages will love. Style your setup to match your day, and you’ve got a sweet statement that’s as delicious as it is photogenic.

Naked Cakes with a Wildflower Twist

Minimal frosting, maximum flavour. Naked cakes are sticking around — but now they’re getting a floral glow-up. Think pressed wildflowers, herbs, and pops of seasonal fruit. Looks straight out of a cottagecore dream.

Cheese “Cake” Tower

Sweet not your thing? Say cheese. Wheel upon wheel of your favourite fromage (soft, hard, blue – go wild) stacked into a savoury ‘cake’ tower. Pair it with figs, grapes, crackers, and some bold signage: Brie mine forever.

Square it up.

Who says wedding cakes have to be round? Square or rectangle-shaped cakes bring a bold, modern edge to your dessert table. Their clean lines make them perfect for minimalist designs, fresh florals, or dramatic textures like marble or concrete finishes. Plus, the flat sides create more space for creative decoration (and generous slices). If you’re after a contemporary twist that still feels elegant, this one’s for you.

This is your permission slip to serve up something that feels you. Whether it’s a donut wall, a millefoglie masterpiece, or Mum’s famous carrot cake, make it part of your story.
