Popular Wedding Cake Trends
When it comes to planning your wedding cake for your wedding day, there are so many lovely designs to choose from. You could go with a classic traditional look or something a little more modern & contemporary. Whatever you choose here’s my top looks for 2023/24.
Cake Gardens
Flowers always make a cake look pretty and elevate designs to the next level. Swirls, waterfalls, placements or a flower base are all dreamy ways of incorporating flowers into the design, but our favourite for 2023 is the flower garden!

Textured
One wedding cake trend that here to stay is adding texture to the design. Pillows of fluffy ruffles, folds of icing to look like swaths of fabric or sugar pearls can all be added to add interest to any design.

Metallic elements add a stunning look to any cake design. Edible gold or silver leaf add a little sophisticated glamour with a subtle hint of opulence.
