Top Wedding Cake Trends for 2014

Trend reports have indicated that 2014 weddings are getting softer and more personalized with pale pinks and other similar hues. To compensate for the trending venue design motifs, wedding cakes are equally customized to be one of the ceremony’s main artistic centerpieces. Such designs are expected to hit higher strides this 2014, including these specific ones:

Statement cakes. For these cakes, it’s all about extravagance. They’re “making a statement”, so to speak. From the quirkily unusual to pure luxury, they look to be one of the ceremony’s “stars”, aside from the couple.

Frilled thrills. Frill designs are expected to be rampant, along with ruffles, and other fabric-inspired embellishments.

Metallic. Expect to see gold, silver, and bronze (the edible recreations of real ones, of course) to adorn most wedding cakes this year.

Bold colors. 2014’s colors of choice are pinkish, purplish hues. Mixing these with both cool and warm colors can work wonders.

Vintage. “Old but gold”, so they say. For true romantics, classic decorations like roses, lace, and pearl are in.

Go naked – for the cake, that is. Cakes without fondant coverings are currently popular, especially for rustic or country-themed weddings.

Geometric. Elegant, clean lines neatly combined with geometric patterns are growing in popularity, to the demands of more modern couples.

Have you picked anything yet? Yes, picking one singular favorite is tough. But hey, if you could pull off a combination of several things at once, why not?
