A creative wedding cake

There are so many ways to make a wedding unique, but how is this for some edible inspiration: Sarah and Joe met at a Seattle bus stop and to commemorate the occasion, their bridal part ordered a replica of that same bus in the shape of a groom's cake! Little details like this make all the difference. Here's the cake, and for more photos from Sarah and Joe's wedding, check out this blog post.
