Weddings have always been about everything white, but recently brides have been changing things up including adding a little spunk to their wedding cake. If you’re planning a wedding this year, don’t be afraid to get out of the traditional wedding box and try a cake that fits YOU.
Colored Cakes
Yellow is the new white for the icing on your wedding cake. Whatever your wedding colors, try using icing that matches rather than opting for the usual white or cream.
Sharp Edged Cakes
You’ve always been able to choose the shape of the diamond on your ring, but have you ever thought about choosing the shape of your cake? You can’t go wrong with this one!
Ombre Cakes
If you’re not feeling like ditching white completely, try the ombre effect with your wedding color as the base. The perfect way to add just a touch of color!
Applique Cakes
We’ve seen applique all over wedding dresses lately, so why not try it on the cake too? P.S. This one might be our favorite!
Painted Floral Cakes
Painting flowers onto your cake not only saves you money that you would have spent on the flowers but also adds a gorgeous touch of creativity to your cake.
Which trend are you leaning towards?!
