Summary

A Redditor recently got married in aPokemon-themed wedding, and they got an impressive cake shaped as the Gigantamax version of Alcremie.Cakes shaped like Pokemonare nothing new, but it’s always amazing whenever someone is able to express their creativity and fandom with something like these impressive creations of culinary art.

The Fairy-type Alcremie is one of the many new creatures introduced in the eighth generation of the long-runningPokemonfranchise. Using it as a choice for a design is no coincidence, as its Gigantamax form (also introduced as a concept inPokemon Sword and Shield) really is a big, towering cake. It’s possible that the Pokemon Company foresaw this being a potential real-world application in passionatePokemonfans' lives.

Redditor Margundy shared their wedding cake over on thePokemonsubreddit. The wedding cake was commissioned by their in-laws, and the bakers who made it really nailed the design, it follows the Gigantamax Alcremie down to the bottom layer. Margundy and their spouse are self-professed fans of the games, even saying that they hadPokemonmusic playing throughout the evening.

Because the Gigantamax form of Alcremie is already a multi-layered cake, it’s no surprise that others had the same idea for their own occasions. There’sthe Alcremie cake a fan had madefor their daughter’s birthday from years ago whenPokemon Sword and Shieldwas just relatively freshly released.

Of course,Pokemonfans have been making cakes inspired by their favorite games long before Alcremie was introduced to the world. The original 151 from Gen 1 are popular choices for these, like thiswedding cake themed afterPokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green. These cakes represent another form of fan art byPokemondiehards, a whole different level from the usual sketches and drawings.

ThePokemonfranchise is also definitely no stranger to food, in an official sense. Every now and then, the franchise will have a collaboration with a food brand, like thehighly covetedPokemonOreosthat came out in 2021. Like the creatures they’re based on, some of the Oreos with certain Pokemon have ended up being very rare, like the Mew variant, commanding high prices on sites like eBay. Some enterprising collectors have even encased the rare Oreos in resin to preserve them. That proves one thing: whether they’re buying or making them, fans will always flock toPokemon-themed food as much as any other collectible inspired by the franchise.
