“Chocolate Ponderosas”
What could be better for a Lake Tahoe rustic wedding than chocolate Ponderosa pine wedding cake toppers? A snowy backdrop of white frosting gives this gorgeous cake an especially majestic feel without compromising on rustic charm—a feature that makes this a great cake design for a range of rustic themes.

“Lovely Stump”
This super cute cake captures the sweetness of young romance better than any we’ve seen. You can almost imagine stolen kisses in the shelter of towering pines. And, after all, nothing brings the heart and mind back to the beginning like declarations of love carved in a tree. The pinecones placed on the sides add the perfect touch of forest-y wonder.

“Stacked Aspens”
The “carved” heart in this decadent chocolate cake captures that same rustic romance. But its Aspen tree theme and towering height add a touch of elegance to the mix. The real pine base and agrarian flower motif round out this wedding cake’s undeniably delightful charm.

“Sprinkled Daisies”
When it comes to rustic wedding cake toppers, you simply cannot lose with dainty daisies. We love how the lightly frosted backdrop and deep-hued flowers create a strong seasonal contrast. There’s a definite snowy-spring feel that draws the mind to sweet spring romance. What’s great about this design, too, is its versatility; the daisies could be any color imaginable.

“Love Birdies”
A list of “best rustic wedding cake toppers” would not be complete without some forest birdies. We love this cake’s combination of earth-toned lovebirds and white lace-like motif. The adorable combo makes for an ideal blend of rustic romance and easy elegance. You can almost imagine these little lovebirds placing the string-of-pearls around the base before landing on the cake. Sweetness extreme!

“Stacked Wood”
This gorgeous cake tells a story of magical rustic romance—almost as if it’s the product of a little girl’s summer playtime in the woods. You can imagine her creating the “wedding” cake using old pieces of cut driftwood, then adding the finishing touches of a few well-placed lilies and smooth stones. This cake’s element of childlike innocence would add a rustic elegance to any ceremony.
