Wedding Cake Trends We Simply Adore

Modern Wedding Posted: January 29, 2020

Looking to celebrate your special day is a stunning and delicious way? Take inspiration from some of our favourite wedding cake trends! These cake trends guarantee your wedding cake won’t just taste amazing, it will look incredible too!

Via Taste

Making Shapes…

Breakaway from tradition and try out some unique shapes for your wedding cake. This triangle-shaped cake’s sophisticated, sleek design will make the perfect statement on any dessert table.

Via Love, Anneliese

All About Textured…

The textured cake trend is incredibly visually appealing! Almost too beautiful to eat, creating a special wedding cake doesn’t have to rely on extra cake decorations!

Via Better Homes And Gardens

Colourful Cakes…

Bright colours are having a moment, so why not make a statement by incorporating this trend into your cake. If you’re after a fun way to add that pop of colour, your wedding cake is a great opportunity! Super fun!

Via The Ganeys

Wedding Cake Squared…

Modern brides, this one is for you! Take your favourite cake design and make it a cube! This trend is perfect for industrial style weddings or couples after a contrasting and contemporary cake design.

Via Bloved Blog

Stroke of Genius…

Unleash your inner artist with this striking cake trend! Brushstrokes add texture and movement to simple cake designs and are a fun way to tie your cake into your weddings colour palette.

Via Wedding Invites Paper

A Single Tier…

Single tier cakes are a trend we love! The bold look of these wedding cakes will absolutely wow your guests. Take any design you love and alter it to be the perfect single layer. This idea is great for smaller weddings or couples who are looking to trim their wedding budget a little.

Via Belle Bakes

Botanical Details…

Hand-painted or real pressed floral patterns are coming back! These designs capture that whimsical, romantic feel of tradition and are sure to be a favourite for many couples.

Dried Flowers…

Dried flowers and pampas grass aren’t just for decorating your venue! These intricate details will make your cake look like an effortless work of art.

Black Is Back…

If you want your wedding flowers to take centre stage on your wedding cake, make them pop against a striking dark canvas. Black cakes, in particular, are a great way to really highlight any decorations you choose to put on your wedding cake.

Via Country House Wedding-Venues

Touch Of Gold…

Add a glimmer of gold to your wedding cake for that totally glamourous feel! Incorporating these stunning metallic details throughout your cake design will make your cake shine and shimmer on the big day.

Via Malarkey Cakes

Natural Stone…

Organic-look cakes are a huge trend at the moment! With the growing emphasis on protecting our environment, stone textures have taken a huge step into the world of wedding cakes.

Via Fab Mood

Olive Branch…

This trend is perfect for rustic weddings, combining the best parts of tradition and natural foliage trends. Adding small amounts of olive tree greenery is a simple and elegant way to create a timeless look!
