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.

Sweet and simple from the front, we love the lattice etched icing and ruffled bottom – you can easily incorporate your wedding theme in the same way. We’re also huge fans of back of the cake, which reveals a striking webbing design and the Spiderman emblem.

On first glance, this cake looks like a sleek and stylish metallic bake but look a little closer and you’ll see black and white images of superheroes. This is a great way to subtly add the theme to your wedding cake.

This cake is truly the best of both worlds. Blending the wedding colours and flowers with Marvel and DC heroes, it gives guests plenty to look at.

Thor, Batman, Superman and the Hulk are all represented on one side of this epic wedding cake while the other side features traditional icing and delicate florals – we love it!

We love the eye-catching glossy finish of this Marvel and DC Cake. White icing is draped over one side of the cake with sugar flowers layered over the top for romantic vibes.
14. Hulk Single-Tier Cake
How fun is this Hulk cake? If you want to put a smile on your guests’ faces and make a statement with your cake, we think a bold and beautiful Marvel creation like this one is the way to go.
