Wedding cakes today can be the focal point of your wedding, but did you know that this opulent centerpiece has a long history? A reflection of the tiered cake we know today was first seen in the 1900s. In this day and age, couples go all out to make a memory out of this age-old tradition. The sky is the limit when it comes to creativity with wedding cakes. This year is all about simplicity and sophistication as things take a more modern approach from the rustic theme that dominated weddings of the past. A traditional cake is the first and the best choice, but this year is all about monochromatic themes. The all white on white cake is back and it’s making a statement. White cake, white pearls, white flowers and white piping are all going to be the must-haves for your show-stopper cakes.

Fill your cake with flavor trends like pistachio, lime, pink champagne and Earl Grey tea and your guests are going to be talking about your wedding cake for years to come.

Fun Fact: Layered cakes probably evolved from the idea of a stack of spiced buns served at weddings in Medieval England. It is said that if the bride and groom could share a kiss over these buns, they would enjoy a lifetime of togetherness.
