This year, the canvas of cake design stretches beyond imagination, embodying trends that are as diverse as they are beautiful. Partnering with esteemed cake artisans Sincerely Sam Cakes, Little Red Bakes, and Sweet Designs by Rita for Wedded Week, we delve into the current waves making ripples in the world of wedding cakes.
From the opulence of pearls and metallic details to the natural charm of fresh florals and the meticulous craft of Lambeth piping, these trends are setting the stage for unforgettable celebrations.
Let’s explore the intricacies of textured finishes, the whimsy of ribbons and bows, the nostalgia of vintage tiered cakes, the romance of heart-shaped designs, the grandeur of large and lavish creations, and the sleek elegance of geometric lines.
Adding a touch of elegance and sophistication, pearls are making a remarkable comeback in wedding cake designs. Not just reserved for jewelry, these tiny, lustrous accents are being intricately placed on cakes, mimicking the elegance of bridal wear and adding a luxurious touch to the overall wedding décor. Our cake artisans skillfully incorporate pearls in varying sizes to create patterns and textures that catch the eye and captivate the heart.
Moving away from the smooth fondant finishes of yesteryears, textured finishes are now taking center stage. This trend sees cakes adorned with intricate designs, from rustic buttercream stucco to delicate ruffles and lace patterns made with royal icing. The mastery of our partners in creating these textures adds depth and dimension to the cakes, making them not just a treat for the taste buds but a feast for the eyes.
The glamour and glitz of metallics are being warmly embraced in wedding cake designs. Whether it’s gold, silver, or rose gold, these metallic accents are being used to add a touch of opulence to wedding cakes. From full-tier metallic finishes to delicate gold leaf touches and shimmering edible paint, the creations of Sincerely Sam Cakes, Little Red Bakes, and Sweet Designs by Rita shine bright, adding a luxurious element to wedding festivities.
Integrating the beauty of nature, fresh florals are being used to decorate cakes, creating masterpieces that embody the beauty of romance. Our cake partners collaborate with florists to select blooms that complement the wedding theme, arranging them on cakes in a way that looks effortlessly chic. Whether it’s a cascade of blooms trailing down the tiers or a simple, elegant posy on top, fresh florals bring a vibrant and refreshing touch to the cakes.
A nod to the intricate art of English over-piping, Lambeth piping is seeing a resurgence in popularity. This method, known for its intricate and layered piping techniques, creates a 3D effect that is stunningly ornate. The skillful hands of our partners breathe new life into this old-world technique, offering cakes that are not only delicious but are also works of art.
Adding a whimsical touch to wedding cakes, ribbons, and bows are being used to infuse personality and color. Silk, linen, or edible, these accents are tied around tiers or used as decorations, adding a playful yet elegant touch. Our cake artisans use ribbons and bows to match the wedding’s color scheme, bringing a cohesive and charming element to the cake design.
There’s a sweet nostalgia in the air with the return of vintage tiered cakes. Inspired by the grandeur of weddings past, these cakes feature classic designs, such as lace patterns, intricate moldings, and traditional cake toppers. Our partners blend vintage charm with modern techniques to create cakes that are timeless and elegant.
Celebrating love in its most iconic form, heart-shaped cakes are capturing the hearts of couples. Whether it’s a single heart-shaped tier or a cake entirely sculpted in the shape of a heart, these designs add a romantic and personalized touch to the celebration. The creativity of Sincerely Sam Cakes, Little Red Bakes, and Sweet Designs by Rita shines through as they craft these love-inspired confections.
For couples looking to make a statement, large and lavish cakes are the trend to embrace. Towering creations adorned with intricate details, edible gold leaf, and extravagant decorations speak of opulence and luxury. Our cake partners excel in creating these show-stopping pieces, ensuring that the cake becomes a focal point of the wedding celebration.
Breaking away from traditional designs, geometric lines offer a modern and minimalist approach to wedding cakes. Sharp angles, clean lines, and abstract patterns cater to the contemporary couple looking for something unique. The precision and innovation of our partners in incorporating geometric designs make these cakes not just a dessert, but a modern art piece.
