CAKES

The Cake

Get your sweet tooth ready for these 2022 cake trends.

MINI CAKES

Just as micro weddings are on the rise, so are micro cakes. Couples are opting for one to two tiers to cut for the photo op and serving individual desserts to guests.

SEPARATED TIERS

Give your cake new height with this trend that is quickly taking over 2022. These clear pillars can be hidden with frosting, filled with flowers or left visible to make a big statement.

EDIBLE BLOOMS AND CLASSIC GREENERY

From pressed sugar flowers to real foliage decorations, couples are giving their cakes the botanical treatment.

ALTERNATIVE SWEET SPREADS

Not everyone wants the large, centerpiece cake towering over their reception. At weddings this year, don’t be surprised to see cookie or pie tables, donut stacks or other sweet options in lieu of a traditional cake.

SEMI-NAKED

Minimal design has always been around and this year, semi-naked cakes are here to stay.

CAKE HOOPS

Coming in various shapes and sizes, these nontraditional displays are gaining notarity. Accent them with florals or fabrics for a beautiful focal point.

An Out of the Box Rehearsal Dinner

by William Rester, Dolce Bakeshop and Dolce Cafe

Typically thrown by the parents or family of the groom, the rehearsal dinner takes place the night before the wedding and is often an afterthought; with final decor and preparations going up, planning a large gathering can seem daunting. At Dolce, we can provide the loving couple with an experience that makes this moment just as unforgettable as the ceremony itself!

Reservations for the rehearsal dinner are often made at local eateries, but what if you could create an outdoor event with a special menu crafted just for the couple? We have recently begun offering the front lawn of Dolce Bakeshop for tented candlelight dinners overlooking the Gulf! The bridal party and their families will be treated to a Gatsby-esque night of cocktails, cuisine, and confections.

The process is simple: call us and let us handle the details! We love to interact with our clients, so creating a menu filled with their favorites is a breeze. We reach out to trusted vendors to secure tenting, tables, and place settings, and we incorporate any decor or personal touches that you want to provide.

We recently hosted the Rasmussen and Corsi families for a fall feast of tenderloin filets, hand-crafted drinks, and a cheesecake bar. Looking for something a little more casual? We can do that, too. Let’s gather everyone together for a rehearsal crawfish boil! The possibilities are wide open. If the couple can dream it, we can do it.

Reach out on Facebook or Instagram to Dolce Bakeshop or Dolce Cafe today, and let’s change the rehearsal dinner from a simple night out to a night to remember!
