Dark Side Cake

Starting off with a cake that is more akin to the Dark Side, this red and black wedding cake has an incredible design that references the evil Sith Lords from the Star Wars series.

The most notable element of the cake is the top tier, which features golden horns poking out alongside a red and black pattern to represent the infamous Sith Lord Darth Maul. 

The cake is finished off with some black crystals that are dotted around each layer, whilst the red pyramid on the top is the frightfully fearful finishing touch!

Millennium Falcon, Death Star And X-Wing Cake

This cake features three square tiers in the standard white that wedding cakes are usually known for. However, the design is certainly more out of this world than your run-of-the-mill wedding cake! 

This cake features small versions of the infamous planet destroying Death Star weapon from the first Star Wars movie, as well as a mini X-Wing and Millennium Falcon.

The inclusion of white stars finishes off the galactic vibe whilst maintaining the traditional white wedding color scheme.
