The Alice cake is a classic, just like the stories. When I was selling cake decorations I had a lot of customers who bought the components to make Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland cakes, and every now and then I got lucky and they’d post a photo with the review online.
This is a roundup of some of the cakes, plus some links to find similar decorations that you can use to make your own version.

Single tier Alice cakes.
This cake is Faith Rosa’s, and it has the edible pictures of the classic Alice illustrations applied to fondant and placed on the cake in different spots. by backing them with fondant or gumpaste, you’ll be able to stand them upright and extend them up like cards without worrying about them bending.
I love the variety of things on the top of this cake and the way the pictures are a 3D element. It gives the cake a lot of drama and visual interest. The lavender color is nice, too!

This is Tanny Jude’s cake, which features the iconic teacup and other Alice elements. This version is a pink cake with a white icing drip to give it a different detail.
I like this because it fits with the whole Alice story and it gives the cake design a little extra touch! The rose in the teacup is also a nice touch, I think it’s gumpaste, so points for sugar flowers!
Olga Shaulov used the images to make this pretty version with a teacup, roses, keys and clocks. The clock face is another wafer paper image with gold fondant or gumpaste for the pocket watch.
She also used assorted round wafer paper images to top these matching cupcakes. Notice the variety of color on the backing fondant discs, including some that look like watches too!
Topsy Turvy Alice cakes.
This cake by Amy Bryant is a topsy turvy design, which always made me nervous. Topsy turvy cakes have to be engineered to stay upright, and even though they’re a lot more stable than they look, it’s still nerve-wracking to think of them falling over.
This one has the Alice images on gumpaste plaques around the base of the bottom tier. It also looks like there’s been a vintage vignette effect that’s been done with brushing some color around the edges.
That gives it an antiqued appearance, which blends well with the piped design on the tier, and matches the color on the hat size card on the top tier.
The top tier on this cake also has an edible watch that was made with a wafer paper clock face and a sugar watch chain and pocketwatch shape.

This topsy-turvy cake by Sophie Coates has a lace wrap and real flowers to give it a romantic feeling. It also looks like the two tiers are iced in slightly different colors to match the flowers, which is a nice touch.
Tiered Alice cakes,
This two-tiered cake from Kristina Green has the Alice illustrations on fondant, then applied to the cake and surrounded by gold hearts on the corners of the images. Pink roses complement the soft pink fondant on the tiers.
This is a pretty little cake, and it’s perfect for a baby’s first birthday, which was obviously what the occasion was. The baby has a cute little Alice dress, too, you can see the white apron if you look closely enough!
This tiered cake by Cupcakes by Jenn is really pretty. It has roses and lace in addition to the iconic Alice images, watches, and keys. The photo is by Myriam Outerbridge Photos.

I love seeing the cakes and cupcakes that people make with these wafer paper images. It’s fun to look at the creativity, and I’m seriously thinking of making some chocolate-covered Oreos with Alice images for an upcoming blog post (any excuse to eat those is fine with me).
