Dressing Up Wedding Cakes

Feel the Real

Textures are everywhere. Whether it’s fondant rolled to look like tree bark or chocolate sprayed to resemble velvet, wedding cakes have branched out from glossy surfaces to natural-looking textures.  

What's Your Angle?

Geometric shapes are taking the cake—rolled into the fondant or even painted on the cake with bold colours.  

Au Naturel

Authentic foliage grows beyond the typical eucalyptus and baby’s breath, traversing into robust greens. These bring rustic-feeling wedding cakes into a new era and often include fresh fruit garnish. Cakes split down the centre showcasing flowers in the middle are in demand right now.  

Metal Detectors

From bronze and rose gold to the classic gold and silver, metallics have found their way to wedding cakes through painted swooshes, trim, drips and even beadwork.

With a Flourish

Hand-painted cakes using icing in the style of the French impressionists appear more and more as brushstroke cakes or floral murals.

Rolling Thunder

Donuts show no sign of slowing down as the cake or as garnish: donut walls, donuts stacked like cakes, donuts strewn about a table.
