This tardis cake is truly timeless, not to mention delicious. If you are looking for a wedding cake that will be the talk of the century, this creation from [Cake Cabana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-picnic) will do the trick.

The Ottawa-based bakery decorated the [multi-layered tardis cake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake) to look like the time-traveling device from the long-running British television program Doctor Who. Alternatively, it looks like a blue police station in the event you are a law enforcement enthusiast instead.

This nerdy, time-traveling wedding cake is simultaneously something old, new and blue, thus meeting all your matrimony needs. What better way is there to unite two whovians for life? The geek-out worthy tardis cake could also work as a birthday cake.
