Eco-Friendly
Many people are becoming more and more conscious of their environment and the impact of their actions on the world around them. This has been seen in the decisions couples are making for their wedding and the wedding cake itself. Instead of having out of season flowers shipped in, couples are opting for seasonal flowers from local businesses and even using wild or dried flowers as unique decorations for their bouquet and cake.
The desire to have a vegan friendly cake is steadily growing and we are more than happy to offer this to couples who are interested in a vegan menu for their guests.
Metallics
There seems to be no let up from the sparkly world of metallics, and of recent years rose gold has been the fore runner. Despite this, 2020 will more than likely see a continuation of gold, silver and copper as they fit so nicely into wedding decor and cake decoration. Alternating tiers of gold leaf, silver painted stencils or copper coloured ribbon all add beautiful hits of metallic which is bound to make your cake pop (no pun intended!).
Go Bold or Go Home
Soft, blousy florals on a blush pink or peach cake is very pretty and romantic, and we love it! However, many couples are going for a more outlandish approach by choosing bold and even more earthy tones. Deep reds, purple, yellow and even black are colours which are just as viable as traditional white or ivory.
Unusual Flavours
Couples often ask whether they can have different flavours for each tier and we say “absolutely!” This instantly adds variety for your guests and means you can get the best of everything. Having different flavoured tiers immediately opens up the possibility for numerous flavour combinations such as lemon and elderflower, strawberry cheesecake and mojito will definitely have your guests talking.
Get Personal
Your cake is the perfect canvas to express yourselves on. By experimenting with textures and different cake decorating techniques, you can personalise your cake even more and make it as individual to you as you want. Personalised cake toppers are an inexpensive way to add interest and hand-painted illustrations can portray significant events or scenes in your lives. The only limit is your imagination!
As it is, these are just trends. You may like some of the suggestions above and that’s great, but ultimately, it is about you both as a couple and what you want your wedding and your cake to say about you.
