Framed 3D Cake
Why we love this cake: Frames are used in photo booths, seating card arrangements and other wedding decor these days, but this is the first one used in wedding cake displays we’ve seen. The way the cake half “pops” from the frame in a 3D way is quirky and makes for a very memorable dessert. Cake: Cake Studio, Winnipeg, Canada Photo: Curtis Moore of Moore Photography
Lego Cake
Why we love this cake: LEGO is so popular right now! But instead of making an all LEGO cake, this couple opted for a more traditional cake complete with hand piping and a textured bottom tier. But upon closer inspection, a single panel of the cake “rolls up” to expose the LEGO within, also revealing a bit of the couple’s fun side. Cake + Photo: Sharon Wee Creations, Sydney, Australia
Elegant Suspended Cake
Why we love this cake: Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney opted for edible crystals, abundant florals and a beautiful suspended platform for her wedding cake, making it the center of attention.

James Bond Spy Cake
Why we love this cake: Nothing like work getting in the way of a wedding, especially if you’re a spy! This James Bond-esque cake is “ruined” and puts the couple in peril as it is invaded by a group of thugs complete with explosions, guns, crashed planes and more.

Salt Water Reef Wedding Cake
Why we love this cake: Can’t have an underwater wedding? Bring the ocean to you! This traditional tiered wedding cake decorated with shells rests on a base with a live saltwater tank in it.

Scuba Diving Tank
Why we love this cake: Another twist on water-themed adventure, this wedding cake is business up front, but an (underwater) party in the back! The 3D “cutaway” dive scene with the wedded couple submerging is completely stunning. Cake + Photo: Sugar High Cakes, Wollongong, Australia
Batman Half and Half Cake
Why we love this cake: Half traditional, half Gotham, all amazing! A twist on the front/back cake design, this cake is perfect for the couple who can’t decide on just one design. It’s not clear who the bigger Batman fan is here, the bride or the groom (maybe both!) but we love the idea of both having their cake and eating it, too!

Upside-Down Geometric Cake
Why we love this cake: This wedding cake takes a popular trend: gravity defying upside-down wedding cakes (yes, that’s a thing!), and puts an even more modern twist on it, incorporating neon colors and geometric shapes. Cake: Blue Note Bakery Photo: Cory Ryan Photography
Superman Saves Cakes
Why we love this cake: From afar, this wedding cake appears to be falling down on the job, slowly toppling over. (The DJ even had to ask wedding guests to stop “fixing” the cake!) But that’s just part of the clever design which incorporates our favorite superhero swooping into save his Lois Lane bride from being crushed by the cake. Cake + Photo: Cakes by Tammi, Surrey, Canada
Secret Garden Wedding Cake
Why we love this cake: Featuring beautifully modern fondant on one side, a simple turn of the cake and it’s a cutaway scene revealing a beautiful garden, handpainted and “hidden” inside the cake. Cake: Chatter Cakes, Eastbourne, England. Photo: Teri Vincent Photography
