40 Unique Wedding Cake Flavors to Consider

When it comes to selecting your wedding cake, you may find yourself focusing your attention on classic flavors, such as vanilla, strawberry, lemon, chocolate, and vanilla buttercream. However, wedding confections have ascended to new heights over the past few years, giving you more choices than you may even be aware of. Gone are the days when traditional cake flavors were the only options couples were searching for. Unique flavors are now a dominant trend in the world of wedding desserts. “I’ve been so happy to see more teas, herbs, and ingredients that are typically considered for savory food incorporated into cake flavors,” says cake designer Jasmine de Lung, who provides a menu full of options like blue cheese, Earl Grey tea, sesame, coriander, and feta as the owner of Jasmine Rae Cakes.

“The most unusual flavor combination I made, that a couple actually ordered for their wedding, was a sake wine cake with black sesame paste, wasabi buttercream, and nori flakes,” she adds. “Suffice it to say, it was controversially loved and hated.” That being said, if this is your first time traversing the landscape of interesting wedding cake flavors, de Lung recommends considering if any tastes hold special meaning to your relationship. Maybe you both love blueberry jam—or find yourselves unable to get through the day without a few almond-milk lattes. Think about the foods, spices, and beverages that play an important role in your everyday lives. And once you’ve considered some of those flavors, see if a baker can create something unique based off of them.

For those who are a little daring or want a cake as distinctive as their love story, we’ve rounded up 40 of the best unique wedding cake flavors that are truly one of a kind. Read on to find your perfect match.
