One poster at the Transformers forum Energon Pub has thrown herself an awesome Transformers themed wedding.
She goes by the name of Optimus Prime and has this to say about her wedding:
I created my Optimus and Elita-1 cake toppers myself using carved up Heroes of Cybertron figures along with FIMO and paint. Then at the reception the tables were divided up by different Autobots. Each Table setting had The Autobot on front and then the entire bio on the back. With TechSpecs info!
Wow, she has a serious thing for Transformers. What a great way to add a little fun to your wedding. I know girls always have a perfect “White Wedding Dress” wedding in mind but I must admit that I love seeing creative themed weddings like these.

Annie from Bon Appegeek has gone and made an amazing Optimus Prime Groom’s cake for her brother’s wedding. Surprisingly this was one of her first forays into cake baking and decorating.
The base, helmet, ribbon, exhaust pipes, and nail polish-painted lights were not edible. Everything else, including the fondant and pastillage head, windows, and chest, were. They wouldn’t be tasty, but you could technically snack on them with your afternoon tea. I had originally hoped to make Optimus Prime’s head out of cake so that my brother could eat it with a spoon, but time constraints and the crazy decision to make this a secret groom’s cake made that too difficult. The secret was a success. He was surprised.

If you’re a sci-fi geek, what better way to celebrate your special day than with an amazing Star Wars themed cake. This toppled AT-AT is one of my favorite cakes to date. I love the mini Admiral Akbar and Mon Mothma but I think maybe the topper are the Ewok cupcakes that accompany this masterpiece.
I know there are a lot of themed cakes now-a-days at weddings but I would love to dig my fork into this one…and finish it off with a bite out of an Ewok. Is that creepy of me?
The bride, Rebecca Dudeiros, says that this cake wasn’t even made in a bakery…she had her buddy (a pastry chef herself though) Teresa Ulrich do it custom for her. What a good friend…and with amazing talent.

Bride Katy loves the Sesame Street Muppets so much that she wanted to use them somehow as part of her wedding. After contacting Mandy and Caroline of Cupcake Occasions (they’re also on Facebook), they put together the idea of creating a Muppet cupcake tower in lieu of a cake.
Cupcakes towers as the wedding cake is becoming increasingly more common but I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen something this cute. It takes a wonderful childhood memory and incorporates into your special day. Take a look at Katy in the last photo. She is so ecstatic as she first sees the creation in its final form. What a great addition to a great day!

By now, we all know that weddings costs can be quite high. Thankfully, there are resources out there to help any couple do some of the work themselves to save some cash. There are also companies that provide more than one service, for example wedding photographers that offer cinematography and venues that provide catering. But, are brides ready go one step further and physically combine their wedding dress and their cake? No chance, but it’s a neat concept nonetheless.
