I love this particular cake trend as I feel it brings an elegance to cakes that wasn't quite there before. Instead of having a three tiered cake of 6, 8 and 10 inches, you can now stretch it up and have a five tiered cake of 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 inches that will truly be a fabulous centre-piece for your Wedding. To add additional height tiers can be separated with spacers.
Although white cakes will always be popular, this year cakes will be getting brighter with more use of colour to tie in with the colour schemes of the day. Earthy colours are popular such as mocha, grey, dusty pinks and peaches as well as brighter colours of orange, yellow and various shades of green and blue.
Sun-washed vintage colours and styling have retained their appeal with cakes being adorned with sugar lace and embroidery. Cupcakes are still popular although miniature cakes will always be the more sophisticated choice.
My new collection, released within the next few weeks has examples of these trends.
Whoopie pies are making their way over from America and cake pops are quickly becoming very popular as favours or on a dessert table but these should, in my opinion, only be served as part of a very relaxed affair.
