10 Geekalicious Wedding Cakes (You Love Them? I KNOW)

I’m feeling geeky this week so prepare to feast your eyeballs on 10 absolutely stunning Geek Chic wedding cakes.

I love the teal accents with the silhouettes, and the offset tiers are so pretty!

Next, another fandom near to my heart:

Harry Potter!

John and I've had a several Potter-themed Christmas parties over the years, so I'm always on the lookout for elegant Wizarding decor. This is perfect: classic, subtle, magical.

Hang on, I have to show you one more Potter pretty, since I'm a sucker for a good Quidditch pun:

(Blue Sheep Bake Shop, New Jersey)

And the Quidditch Hoops are hearts! OH MY HEART.

I'm also liking how neither of these use the Snape-centric "Always" on them - which, if you think about it, is kind of problematic on a wedding cake, ha. 

Where are my Doctor Who fans?

I've featured so many Doctor Who cakes here over the years that a lot of them start to look the same - but this one stands out with those giant sunflowers (a nod to the Vincent episode, perhaps?) and that fun metal texture under the galaxy. Love it!

And speaking of galaxies, you know we have to visit one far, far away:

With a Star War!! ;) This beauty has it all: an X-wing battle, glowing lightsabers, and oh yes, the topper got Solo'd. (I KNOW, RIGHT?)

Quick break from fandoms to celebrate the classic programming nerds out there:

How sweet is this?? The design is inspired by a circuit board, and the glasses on top make me smile. My parents both wore thick dark glasses like those in their wedding photos - and my Dad was an electrical engineer much of my life! - so this reminds me of them.

Now back to fandoms with this picture perfect Lord of the Rings cake:

(Blackstone Caterers, Rhode Island, featured here)

That's all buttercream! I can't get over those smooth-as-porcelain sides, and I love the subtle design to give them some texture. Then the piped leaves! Ah! Gorgeous.

Of course we've gotta have a superhero wedding cake, right?

(Baker Unknown, help?)

I like how they made it in shades of white to give it a more elegant feel.

Next, the cutest Legend of Zelda cake ever:

(I can't find this baker either, ARG. Anyone recognize it?)

D'AWWWWW. That Perler bead topper is the cherry on top, this is the sweetest.

While we're talking classic video games, look! It's'a Mario!

I love the piranha plant "flowers," - and though they're not edible, that Mario & Peach topper is making me melt. SO CUTE.

And finally, a Game of Thrones wedding cake fit for royalty:

I love the crowns up top, and all these great textures! The blue roses are so subtle and rich, too. Gorgeous.

I hope these made you smile, and maybe geek out a little yourself!

Happy Sunday!

And because I assume you like adorkable wedding cake toppers as much as I do... LOOKIE:

R2 & BB Wedding Cake Topper

These ARE the droids we're looking for! 

I also found the Han & Leia one from the Disneyland cake:

Of COURSE I'm Small Enough To Ride A Bald Eagle

Minions, today I'm here to talk to you about strategic thinking.

But that's boring, so lets call it STRATEGERY instead.

You see, thinking ahead and forming a plan are at the very heart of the rough-and-tumble world of cake decorating.

Observe:

[squinting dramatically] STRATEGERY.

How do you make your message stand out?

 How do you recover from mistakes?

STRAR… Satr... Strategery?

How do you make sure you ice EVERY SINGLE cupcake?

You open your dang eyes, ya jackwagon.

But also, strategery.

 And finally, for the customers: 

How do you guarantee a cake wreck?

You had one at "phone order." :D

STRAAAAATEEEEGERYYYYYY

Thanks to Lisa, Stormie J., Tarilynn G., Stefanie P., & Julie C. for introducing us all to a new word.

And for those of you who now have an eye-twitch for all the times I butchered the word "strategy" in this post, a gift!
