The Geode Wedding Cake Trend Is Rather Delightful
Because rocks aren't just for your ring finger
The latest trend in wedding cakes isn't demure and sweet. It's actually pretty cutting edge—and we mean literally. Brides are moving away from traditional white pastries in favor of geode cakes, which depict stunning rocks lined with crystals.
We were first introduced to this innovative design when luxury wedding cake design studio Intricate Icings' amethyst-inspired cake went viral earlier this year. While the artful cake looks like it's just for show, we were most surprised to hear that it's actually completely edible. "The geode is made from rock candy that I then crafted with modeling chocolate, hand painting, and gold leaf," explains baker Rachael Teufel on Facebook.
Now, we've been seeing these beautiful cakes pop up everywhere, from Instagram to Pinterest. Check out some of our favorite designs below, but prepare yourself: You're going to want to get married all over again just have one of these beauties.
The Cake That Started It All
Perhaps what gets us the most about this viral cake is the juxtaposition of a traditional white cake that's struck with an angular design.
Cake Topper
Go a step further by adding a crystalized cake topper to your geode design.
Just Around The Edges
A more subtle take on the trend, this cake has geode cutouts along its edges.
A Purple Work of Art
Instead of using sugar, this cake gets its dimension from a geode design painted right on its side. Edible gold foil is the perfect finishing touch.
Bold Turquoise
To really make your cake stand out, carve a geode design down the center, going all the way from the top to the bottom layer.
A Winning Combination
This cake might break tradition, but it still makes use of florals you'd expect to see at a wedding.
Modern Marble
A luxe design like this one is best fitted for the bride who dares to be different.
Floral Rock Formation
We'd invite ourselves to any wedding if we knew the cake would be this good.
Shinning Gem
A gem on the side of this cake perfectly matches its bright and shining cake topper.
For Mom
This cake trend can also be utilized for family affairs such as Mother's Day.
An Elegant Affair
Matching the rest of your tablescape to your cake is always a good idea. We love this aqua color scheme!
Sweet Simplicity
A geode design in neutral grays is more subtle than its brightly colored counterparts.
