10 unique wedding cakes that will blow your mind

Inspired by the wedding dress cake that went viral, we went in search of other mind-blowing unique wedding cakes

I have a confession, I’m a bit of a wedding cake fanatic – I like looking at them and I LOVE eating them.

I will think nothing of spending hours pouring over gorgeous cake images on Instagram and Pinterest just for the sake of it. Luckily I work for Ireland’ top wedding magazine, so I can justify my obsession and I get to write about it.

Today’s tasty topic is unique wedding cakes, a theme which is really trending in the world of wedding cakes right now (see the feature image of the wedding dress cake by cake sculptor Sylvia Elba that went viral this week. Image via Metro.co.uk)

Of course, what defines a unique wedding cake is a topic for debate, but I’m featuring cakes that look unlike any other wedding cake I have ever seen. Crystal cakes, mini cakes, hand-painted cakes – true works of art that are nearly too good to eat.

Prepare to have your mind blown by these amazing cake creations
