  • “Naked” Cakes
    • Don’t be surprised to see many cakes without frosting or fondant. Brides looking for a more low-key look for their cake are keeping it simple. Layers of cake are connected by thin buttercream and topped with flowers or fruit.

 

  • 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.
