Elegant, classy, and no one will know it’s Doctor Who until they look at the cake topper! This cake is perfect for those who are looking for a more subtle way to show off their geekiness.

Lego Wedding Cake

I love this cake, because it’s such an easy idea to recreate without the help of a professional cake artist. All you need is a set of legos and an imagination, and you can create the lego-inspired cake of your dreams.

My Neighbor Totoro Wedding Cake

The cake itself is my favorite on this list. Without the Totoro topper, it would just be a darling cake, and with the topper, it’s even cuter! Those pink flowers and the brilliant detailing on the tree trunk are just gorgeous.

The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Wedding Cake

The powder blue color and the Zelda triforce symbol, as well as the cloud-like frosting makes for a delicious looking themed wedding cake! I also appreciate the touch of Harry Potter and Star Wars with their symbols making appearances on the cake as well. What a great way to show off your love of multiple franchises!

Superhero Wedding Cake

There’s something about the color white. It makes everything look beautiful and wedding-ready, but the superhero touch gives this otherwise typical pretty cake a splash of uniqueness. We all want to be unique on our wedding day right?

Portal Wedding Cake

Oh my goodness, I can’t get over the cake topper! The turrets are so adorable in their little wedding get-ups. Look at the veil and bowtie! Not to mention the companion cube sitting atop the fluffy white cake. I’m in love with this cake.

Mario Kart Wedding Cake

Maybe at first glance this cake looks more like a birthday cake with all of its bright colors, but it’s so much fun! Mario and Peach top the cake with a pair of hearts and somehow it’s such a romantic scene, even if they’re fictional characters. I love all the added detail here as well, like the race track and coins.

Lord of the Rings Wedding Cake

This unique cake gives me nature vibes. That wood cake stand, those edible frosting roses, and the color of the cake all make this cake right at home in a forest setting. I love the Lord of the Rings inscription, taken straight from the One Ring itself. Is that Arwen and Aragorn standing on top of the cake? It’s beautiful.

Harry Potter Wedding Cake

Another classic white cake, with a geek’s touch! The golden snitches and the stylized “Always,” turn it into a Harry Potter fan’s dream. The swirly designs are magical as well, fitting right in with the Harry Potter theme as well as simply adding beauty to the whole aesthetic.

Star Wars Wedding Cake

Who’s up for a slice of the Death Star? This cake is so out of this world that it doesn’t even look like a real cake! I bet it tastes delicious though, and who wouldn’t want to take a chunk out of this evil ship? That stormtrooper bride is hilarious as well.

Batman and Wonder Woman Wedding Cake

This is probably one of the most simple ideas to emulate on the list. Take your traditional looking wedding cake and just add a pair of your favorite action figures to the top of it to turn it into a geeky cake. The person who made this cake chose to add Wonder Woman and Batman — they’d make a good fanfiction pair. (Ahem, not that I write fanfiction.)

Pokemon Wedding Cake

Another traditional cake, with the added touch of a couple of classic cute Pokemon characters. A casual wedding guest might be unaware that this is a Pokemon cake unless iconic characters such as Pokemon or Squirtle are included, but I think this cake is perfect for those who want to show their love of Pokemon without Pokemon being the main focus.

Disney Castle Wedding Cake

Why not celebrate the happiest place on Earth while at the celebration of your happiest day on Earth? This cake is a replica of the Disney Land castle, and it’s absolutely magical! I love the inclusion of icicles, perfect for making this a winter wedding cake.

Mass Effect Wedding Cake

Holly Conrad (famous cosplayer and artist) and Ross O’ Donovan (member of Youtube’s Game Grumps) — otherwise known as geek royalty — had a space themed wedding a few years back. Their wedding cake was Mass Effect’s Normandy, and it was absolutely fabulous. #Weddinggoals.

Did you fall in love with any of these cakes? I fell in love with all of them!

8 Best Video Game Dresses

pacman-dresspacman-dress

Hey gamer girls! Do you want to look stylish and gorgeous while showing off your love of video games? Well, I’ve got the list for you! As a fellow gamer, not only do I love video games, but I have a huge interest in fashion as well, and I want to share with you some of the cutest video game dresses I could find.

For years, I was afraid of showing my geeky side. I didn’t want anyone to know because I thought people wouldn’t like me. Crazy right? These days, I wear my geekiness with pride, and I’d love to own all of these dresses. Don’t be afraid of showing off who you are, it turns out, people really will like you if they know you’ve spent a thousand hours playing Skyrim.

Nintendo Mario Bros Dress


This first dress is absolutely adorable, of course I could say that about every dress on this list, but there’s something about all the cute little characters on this one that stands out to me. Look at that angry Goomba, isn’t he just the best? You just can’t go wrong with a Mario dress. Everyone loves Mario.

Mass Effect N7 Dress


Sexy. That’s the best word to describe this Mass Effect dress. Anyone who’s played Mass Effect knows all about the steamy romances that can go on, (also the not so steamy) and I think if your Commander Shepard were to wear this dress, she’d be the talk of the town. You’ll win any alien’s heart in this little number.

Pac-Man Dress


Okay, I’ll admit something. I’ve never played through an entire Pac-Man game. It just isn’t my thing. It’s definitely a classic and deserves all its praise, but arcade games and I don’t have the best relationship. Anyway, regardless of whether or not you’ve played a Pac-Man game, this dress is awesome. It looks exactly like the game. Maybe if I wear this I’ll be motivated to play it.

Pokemon Pikachu Dress


Adorbs. Totes adorbs. Pikachu is everybody’s favorite little (what creature is he supposed to be?) uh, thing. He looks very cute plastered all over this dress and no one will ask you what he’s from when you’re wearing it. Don’t you just hate it when nobody recognizes what fandom you’re wearing?

Portal Companion Cube Dress


First of all, I cannot recommend Portal enough. It’s a fantastic video game, one of the most unique I’ve ever played. If you haven’t yet played it, do yourself a favor and buy it! It’s always available for a tiny price and it’s worth every cent. This dress oozes adorableness and the Companion Cube is one of the best parts of the game and the dress of course.

Star Wars Darth Vader Dress


Wait, Star Wars is a movie, not a video game right? Wrong! Star Wars is in everything, it’s on your TV screen, it’s on your soup can, cereal box, and it’s spawned tons of video games. I have not so fond memories of attempting the Return of the Jedi video game and dying over and over again. Anyway, because Star Wars is such a cultural icon, there are many dresses to choose from, and it was difficult deciding which ones I wanted to include. I went with Darth Vader because he’s the coolest villain ever, and sometimes the Dark Side needs some love.

Star Wars R2-D2 Dress


This is actually my favorite dress on the list. I’m in love with how simple, yet cute it is. I like that it has sleeves, so I can wear it to my parent’s house without them freaking out. (They’re very conservative.) R2-D2 is an immediately recognizable character, and I guarantee everyone will like your dress.

The Legend of Zelda Dress


Zelda is my favorite video game series. Much of my childhood consisted of traversing through dungeons, fighting bosses, and saving Princess Zelda. I hold this series so close to my heart that of course I’d want to share my love of it through clothing. I picked this dress because it’s something you can wear anywhere and still be recognized as a Zelda fan, rather than the many cosplay-like options available.

I hope you found a dress you fell in love with! I know I fell in love with all of these dresses!
