Unusual wedding cakes are the new usual. They are actually becoming more common than the traditional wedding cake. Do you want something besides the typical white, multi-tiered cake with butter cream icing and traditional bride and groom topper? Aside from your budget, your imagination is your only limitation. Anything you can dream up is possible for your wedding cake. Sports themes, beach scenes, buildings, animals, movies, whatever you desire. There's a designer out there who can create it and bake it. Even if you are on a limited budget, you don't have to settle for plain and mundane. The flavors of the cake can be just as exotic as the design itself. You can actually have something besides vanilla or even chocolate. Grand Marnier, pumpkin, cappuccino, chai tea, peanut butter and jelly, cookies and cream, all flavors are legal. If you feel like your tastes may be too unusual for your guests, have a second plain sheet cake as an alternative. Now that you have a unique cake, design and flavor, don't forget to add a just as unusual wedding cake topper to match your theme. There are so many different toppers available online you probably will be able to find one that will fit your theme. If not, there are places that will create your very own unique wedding cake topper for you. Artists will actually hand carve the topper to your specifications. This customization will cost a little more; prices can range from fifty dollars to as much as $1,000 or more. You may also need you to submit your request sometimes months in advance in order to have it ready for the wedding. Some of the best examples of unusual wedding cakes are created for celebrities. With a bigger budget than us common folk, celebrities can have some of the most elaborately decorated cakes. For example, Blair Underwood's Eiffel Tower wedding cake stood over six feet tall! Ashlee Simpson's wedding cake complimented her Alice in Wonderland theme with an odd concoction of a top hat, clock, tea kettle and flower pot. You can get plenty of ideas from celebrity examples, but then find local bakers that can design your cake within your budget.

Make the cake an active scene of your favorite hobby. These are just some ideas to get you thinking about creating your very own unique and unusual wedding cake. Now get a piece of paper and start jotting down some of your own ideas. Don't censor yourself. No idea is too unusual.
