We've rounded up the top cake trends, promising to make your spring wedding a sweet affair to remember.
TEXTURED FINISHES
Baked Custom Cakes
Textured buttercream, rustic icing techniques and brushed strokes are gaining popularity for couples seeking a more tactile and organic look for their wedding cakes. These designs add depth and visual interest to the cake.
WAFER PAPER

Incorporating designer wafer paper arcs and other intricate designs into wedding cakes offers couples a contemporary and creative way to elevate their cake presentation while staying on-trend with modern aesthetics. Whether used sparingly for subtle accents or boldly for dramatic effect, wafer paper adds a touch of sophistication and style to wedding cakes, making them a standout feature of the celebration.
PRESSED FLORALS

A pressed floral cake design involves embedding delicate, dried flowers or petals directly onto the surface of a wedding cake. These flowers are typically preserved through a pressing process, where they are carefully arranged between layers of absorbent materials and left to dry over time. Once dried, the pressed flowers are gently adhered to the cake using edible glue or positioned atop a layer of frosting.
