Resistance is futile, so when Zeph and Sara LaFassett wanted a Jean-Luc Picard as wedding cake, baker Aaron Jue simply made it so. If you think the cake’s a bit creepy, consider this: the couple saved Jean-Luc’s head to eat on their first anniversary.

Charm City Cakes was commissioned to create a wedding cake for two Ghostbusters fans. Really avid fans.
Obsessed on a level that we can understand (though with us it’s Star Wars and/or Jaws).
They wanted to incorporate their shared love of the movie into their wedding cake. Their idea? To replicate the final scene of the movie, when the guys are battling the Stay Puft Marshmallow man from atop an NYC skyscraper, only with the bride and groom doing the proton pack zapping.Can we do that?
Um, YES? YES WE CAN.

If you want to make your wedding day one to remember, why not take a part of it and make it unique, an expression of your personality or interests? The wedding cake is an artful way to do that without affecting the ceremony itself. Rue the Day has a wonderful collection of creative geek wedding cakes, like this cake with bride and groom daleks on top! Link
The H.R. Giger Cake is a creation of Jet City Cakes. The cake is named for the designer who gave us the Alien from Alien. Perfect for the wedding of two avid sci-fi fans, this confection features two Chestbursters dressed for matrimony on top! Link -via Geeks Are Sexy
A woman named Lukka Sigurdardottir made this edible wedding dress. Or, alternatively, a wearable wedding cake.

Flickr user noblerobinette was delighted with her wedding cake, a zombie scenario created by Mike’s Amazing Cakes in Seattle. Even the attendants were modeled after the real people! See more views in her photo stream. Link-via Digg
Abigail Tucker presents some interesting historical facts about the traditional cake served at a wedding in the West:
One early British recipe for “Bride’s Pye” mixed cockscombs, lamb testicles, sweetbreads, oysters and (mercifully) plenty of spices. Another version called for boiled calf’s feet.
By the mid sixteenth century, though, sugar was becoming plentiful in England. The more refined the sugar, the whiter it was. Pure white icing soon became a wedding cake staple. Not only did the color allude to the bride’s virginity, as Carol Wilson points out in her Gastronomica article “Wedding Cake: A Slice of History,” but the whiteness was “a status symbol, a display of the family’s wealth.” Later, tiered cakes, with their cement-like supports of decorative dried icing, also advertised affluence. Formal wedding cakes became bigger and more elaborate through the Victorian age. In 1947, when Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) wed Prince Philip, the cake weighed 500 pounds.
We’ve featured many unusual and geeky wedding cakes on Neatorama, but (excuse the pun) this one takes the cake! Behold the Stargate Wedding Cake:
Absolutely everything on the top display is hand made, including the wormhole connection which is hand painted icing. And apparently the gate is symbol correct as well.
You can’t see them too well but the bottom tier has earth glyphs running all around the outside of the cake, and non gate related.. the roses on the bottom tier are also hand made and edible.
