“Geode” Wedding Cake May Be Ahead Of Its Time For Most Couples

The latest trend in wedding cakes is the geode cake, made with rock candy, coarse sugar and modeling chocolate crafted to look like a hollow round geode rock bursting with crystals. The cake is colored to look like a multihued geode has crystallized inside of a wedding cake. The focus, bakers say, is on texture, color and shape, ensconced in a basic cake in such a way that the colorful geode bursts against traditional white fondant. Bakers admit it’s far from an established wedding cake variety. One baker says it is for a more “trendy and unorthodox couple who wants some extra ‘ooh la la’ in their cake.”
