Sushi
A sushi cake you say? This idea may not be everyone’s take on the traditional wedding confection, but it surely shows a new approach. Cover separate tiers of sticky rice with raw fish, avocado, and caviar, or stack your favorite rolls with some ginger and wasabi and enjoy the colors of your Japanese cuisine. If you don’t like the taste of sushi but like the look of it, use candy or modeling fondant icing to re-interpret your design. Don’t forget the chopsticks! Photo via Pinterest.
Pizza
This isn’t your normal slice of pie. Surprise your wedding guests by creating the “Ultimate Dish” of hot pizza, fresh from the oven. Any cheese lover will serve this up in an instant. Stack tiers of these delectable pies with your favorite toppings and you’re all set. This mouthwatering delight is perfect to eat after dancing up an appetite on the dance floor, but will most definitely make for an epic “first bite”. Now that’s amore! Photo via Pinterest.
