Cake Trends
Once upon a time, wedding cakes consisted of pure white layers and icing with miniature bride and groom on top. Nowadays, stripes, polka – dots, fresh flowers, butterflies, even shoes and suitcases are the norm for decorating your cake. Several new trends have emerged leaving you spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing the sweetest part of your day. We take a look at some of our favourite cutting edge designs…
Traditional Wedding Cake:
Traditional wedding cakes are white in colour with delicious fillings in each tier. This is perfect for the bride who is dreaming of a traditional white wedding with all the trimmings. Add a modern twist with butterflies and pretty flowers in between each tier.
The Miniature Cake:
The Miniature Cake is modern and funky and perfect for any theme wedding. They guarantee to add some super style to your nuptials. These designs look very appetising and there’s no need to cut a cake as each guest can be given a mini cake for desert. You can also make little boxes with the names of your guests on them to take home as a treat and a keepsake of your big day.
The Chocolate Cake:
A must have for any bride and groom chocaholic! Make sure you don’t try this trend in summer time though as a hot summers day could melt your centrepiece. A cake made entirely from cocoa is great for an Easter themed wedding. A chocolate lover’s dream come true!
Fruit Cake
How about reviving the old tradition of a groom’s cake? This is usually a fruit cake and is perfect for fresh spring weddings. These can last indefinitely (unfrozen) and if wrapped in greaseproof paper and then in foil and periodically spiked with brandy. A mouth – watering fruit cake will add a splash of colour to your nuptials.
Decorations are a unique way to add the finishing touches to your cake. Whether it is a ribbon placed neatly around the tiers of a white cake, added effects such as lace detailing or embroidery appliqué, orchids or sugar berries with splashes of green, you are guaranteed spring beauty in true splendour. Contemporary wedding cake designs offer endless possibilities for a spring bride and groom, so whatever your theme and style, you can be sure there is a dream creation out there for you.
