2011 Weddng Cake Trends - Pt. 2

In respect to wedding cake design, there's a growing trend towards minimalism.  As much as I love a beautifully ornate cake, I can appreciate this shift.
  • It offers simplicity without cutting back on elegance.
  • It's modern, sophisticated and clean.
  • Less details equals less money allowing those saved dollars to be reallocated to other areas of the event.
One thing you don't want to do is mistake this style for boring.  Think beyond cakes which feature nothing more than buttercream and a satin ribbon, or a few flowers thrown on top, or flowers thrown between tiers.

2011 Wedding Cake Trends - Pt. 1

What's new in the world of cakes?  Height!!!

  • Skyscraper cakes with  5+ layers in a tier is an absolute perfect way to add a dramatic affect to what would otherwise be a simple cake.
  • This looks best when applied to only one tier; applying to all or several is overkill.
  • Much like the Royal Guard, cakes designed in this fashion command attention adds a wow factor.
