Wedding Cake Season
- “Naked” Cakes

- Geometrics
- Perfectly cut pieces of fondant and precise decorating are key elements for geometric cakes. Mix up colors, shapes and sizes for to a truly jaw-dropping creation.
- Hand-Painted
- Don’t be afraid to get creative and break out the brushes! Many brides are looking for the beauty and unique color that hand-painted floral designs can deliver.
- Monograms & Type
- Make it personal by adding monogrammed letters or poems, verses or other type to a cake in different styles and colors.
- Metallic Accents
- The metallic colored tend has taken a new, more demure turn. Pare down the drama by limiting metallic to accents and brushed-on details for a more sophisticated look.
