Wedding Planning

Just like bridal dresses, wedding cakes can also be trendy or obsolete. A traditional wedding cake is usually a white vanilla cake in towering stacked layers. However, as we move onto the year 2010, wedding cake trends are becoming more and more playful.

Deconstructed Cakes

While the classic stacked cake has remained quite popular, some modern couples prefer deconstructing their cake and displaying each layer on separate floating cake stands of varying heights. This can create a stylish centrepiece for your wedding receipt and may also help prevent the dreaded cake-collapsing blunder.

Buttercream Frosting

Fondant frosting is out; buttercream is now very trendy. Even though the famous fondant icing can make the cake look so smooth and elegant with its matte finish, most people are very unsatisfied with its bland flavor and doughy texture. That’s why a lot of bakers now prefer for buttercream icing instead. Besides its light texture and delicate taste, buttercream is also less expensive than fondant frosting.

Cupcake Tower

The cupcake tower trend was really started by celebrity weddings. Instead of waiting in line for their slice of cake to be cut, each guest can just grab a miniskirt cake and go. This is perfect for a buffet-style wedding reception. Plus, cupcakes ar easy to make. If baking is your passion and the number of guests isn’t too overwhelming, perhaps you can make your own wedding cupcakes.
