The latest trend for wedding cakes is the geode cake: a cake that looks like it has a piece of what looks like geode rock—like those big slabs of amethyst—baked right into it using bits of rock candy.

I used to make mud pies in my back yard with rocks in them all the time when I was a kid. Apparently I was ahead of my time; I should totally have been a baker.

Then again, maybe not. My mud-and-rock creations didn’t look anywhere as amazing as these beautiful cakes.

The trend lets brides bring more colour into their weddings in new and unique ways.

I seriously doubt you’re going to see this exact cake more than once.

And they just get more and more elaborate.

The level of detail cake makers are putting into the geodes is amazing.

Yep, you can eat that. But you almost don’t want to, it’s too pretty.

And all customisable.

You can do a more subtle feature…

Or go all out. It’s entirely up to you and your baker.

Who wouldn’t want a slice of this!?

Even if you’re not getting married, the geode cake is the pretty stunning way to celebrate anything. I’m thinking about getting one to celebrate having got through another Monday.
