One of the first wedding items we bought for our wedding was cake toppers (and might I say, they are possibly the best and most unique addition to our wedding).

The little Gator Bride is missing her delicate little veil in this picture, but you can still get the idea.

3 months later we started thinking that we weren’t sure if we wanted a cake at all.

Mr. Dolphin and I aren’t big cake lovers. We are more of southern dessert lovers… apple pie… apple cobbler… okay so pretty much anything with apples in it. We had this grand idea that my grandmother (along with my help) would make all these apple pies. Well, that was quickly vetoed when we decided that we we’re lazy and we wouldn’t know what to do with our cute little cake toppers.

So, on to cake inspiration! {yummy}

Cake #1

Ohh how pretty! Mr. Dolphin and I love this cake. We want to do something similar to this but with aqua ribbon and instead of the cake being round we want a square cake. Yes I said it… we want a square cake. I think it’s the Architecture student in me… but I love the modern look of a square cake.

Cake #2

Here is another one we love. It is so simple and gets to the point. We would probably do this without the orchids (maybe white daisies instead?). Can’t you just see our lovely little knight and gator at the top of this sweetness?

Okay… so here is something I’m sort of thinking about for our garden/romance wedding. We are already going with the wooden cake toppers showcasing our alma maters… why not add one of these cute little wood banners? Imagine Cake #2 with white daisies (instead of orchids), our cake toppers and this banner on a lower tier.

Instead of reading ’Our Wedding’, what about ’Miss Dolphin ♥ Mr. Dolphin’ (but obviously with our real names)? A simple square cake with rustic details and white daisies? Hmmmm…

Cake #3

Okay so this last cake is a dream cake… meaning we could probably never afford one that looks like this (a bride can dream):

In order to get this look we would probably have to go with a fondant cake, which is not what we are looking for (we are buttercream people). It’s so beautiful, yet so out of reach! Even though I like it, I think it isn’t really in line with the style of our wedding. Still, it’s quite a beautiful cake.

So far I’m leaning towards Cake #2. I can see it all coming together… now all I have to do is convince Mr. Dolphin that we have to get the wooden cake banner. Not only is it super cute but it will also make for a pretty sweet keepsake after the wedding.
