When it comes to Weddings, we are always striving for something totally unique and unforgettable; and many people are now looking for a little twist on the traditional wedding cake. Alternative wedding cakes have soon become a phenomenon, and so we have put together our favourites!
Pork Pie Wedding Cake
This isn’t just a twist on a wedding cake – this is totally different! From sweet to savoury, why not offer your guests a slice of pork pie instead of your usual cake? Marks and Spencer offer this gorgeous 3 tier Pork Pie Wedding Cake for £99, serving 30-40 people. We are sure this will not go a miss on your special day…

Macaron Wedding Cake
Pretty as a picture, these delicate macarons look gorgeous in this French inspired wedding cake. Even better; there’s no need to cut this cake, so one less job on the day! Let your guests choose their own macaron without the hassle. We love this one in particular with the added floral decoration – who wouldn’t want this centrepiece at their wedding?
