Cake trends are beginning to change in 2010 and we are seeing brides choose simple decor with a great mix of fun flavors. If you had the opportunity to read our article on 2010 wedding trends you’ll remember we had mentioned that fondant is out. That still remains true, whether it’s the look of buttercream or the cost of the fondant, brides seem to be choosing the less expensive alternative of buttercream.
Decor on the cake is simple and true to the theme of the wedding. We are seeing a mix of modern and vintage and cakes are taking on that same theme. Painting on the cake is a continued trend we are seeing this year and we are sure that it will be a continuing trend. Painting allows very artistic renderings as well as a cohesive look to your chosen wedding theme without the high cost of other cake decorating techniques.
Flavors are fun and fanciful this year and the creativity is endless! We are seeing more flavors for each tier giving the guests a wide variety of choices. We have even begun to see different flavors within each tier creating a colorful and tasteful combination. The possibilities are endless so keep an open mind when visiting your local cake designer.
Whatever you decide, have fun with your cake. With so many designs, shapes, combinations and ideas out there, it can become overwhelming when it comes to choosing the perfect cake for you. Research and find pictures of those cakes that you love and take them with you to your consultation. It will help you and your cake designer narrow down exactly what you like and help you in creating the perfect cake for your wedding day.
