Beautiful wedding cake statements
Are you looking for some ideas on how to make a statement with your wedding cake? Here are some of the top cake trends expected for 2022.
single tier cakes
For couples who are choosing smaller celebrations, deconstructed wedding cakes are making a splash. Two, three or even four cakes – all single tiers – allow for easier transportation and storage in home refrigerators. It also allows couples to have more variety in their cake designs if they wish.
pillared tiers
Another return to years past is the return of pillars to separate cake layers. The space between layers can either be left empty for a clean look, or filled with flowers or fresh fruit. The pillars will lend even more height to a beautiful cake.
back to sugar flowers
The return of sugar flowers as embellishments for a wedding cake will see a big uptick in use this year, especially in more subtle colors and even single tones. They can be used in conjunction with dried and/or fresh flowers to adhere to a more natural style.
many minis
Opting for cupcakes or mini versions of a traditional wedding cake is a trend that continues from the past few years. This version of the cake gives couples a chance to use more than one flavor or color, all while making dessert safer for guests during these uncertain times. Other couples are stepping even further away from traditional by serving decorated donuts or other single-serve desserts. pressed flowers
COVID restrictions and shutdowns have caused a shortage of florals for many florists, and many couples are using pressed flowers as an alternative on their cakes. The flowers give cakes a delicate design while still adding color.
bold hues
Rich colors, strong textures and even metallic colors will make this year’s wedding cakes stand out, leaving behind the pale, muted tones of the past as couple look to make statements with their choices.
