There’s something quirky and creative about a themed wedding cake and there's one particularly fun theme we've been spotting everywhere from Instagram to real weddings lately: Marvel wedding cakes.

Whether you both grew up reading the comics or have regular Marvel movie marathons at home, a Marvel wedding cake is a great way to inject your personality into your wedding reception.

If you’re worried a superhero style wedding cake might not look quite right sitting alongside your Pinterest-worthy, pastel hued wedding décor, why not opt for a half and half superhero wedding cake? You can keep one side classic and pretty and feature your favourite Marvel characters on the other – it’s the best of both worlds!

You’ll find plenty of half Marvel wedding cakes below along with some statement superhero cakes. From Spiderman-inspired bakes to hilarious Hulk cakes and Avengers treats, these brilliant bakes will have you feeling inspired.
