26 Single-Serving Wedding Cakes That Are Beyond Adorable

If you love cake, but aren't crazy about the traditional tiered confections that are so often served at weddings, you might want to consider down-sizing. We're not talking about serving a small confection—we're talking about offering up teeny-tiny cakes that mimic the real thing, but amount to about the same portion of dessert you'd get from a traditional slice. The pros to these shrunken treats are limitless, but we just have to say this: They're arguably cuter than any dessert we've ever seen before.

Just take the following individual cakes from real weddings, for example. Served on scaled-to-size cake stands and decorated to the nines, these personal desserts allow each and every one of your guests to enjoy a pretty work of art—not just a slice of one. And while tiny traditional renditions exist, not all of these beauties are covered in fondant and served with toppers. As you scroll, you'll discover mini naked cakes layered with just-enough frosting and adorned with fresh flowers. If you love hand-painted wedding cakes, you'll be floored by these bakers' artistry on a smaller medium.  

Essentially, there's a way to render each and every one of your favorite cake trends—from colorful, to naked, to chocolate, to metallic, to drip icing—in these super-small servings. That's partly why individual wedding cakes are so appealing. They're trendy all on their own, but encapsulate other cake styles of the moment with ease. For all the tiny cake inspiration that you'll ever need, scroll through this tasty series. And be sure to book an appointment with your confectioner after you're through.
