Stunning On-Trend Cakes

Selecting a wedding cake is fun! You have a lot of options when it comes to choosing a wedding cake. So many flavors, so many frosting types, colors, shapes, and heights - to name a few.  You can even customize your dream cake down to the type of ingredients you want vegan, organic ingredients, dark chocolate, fresh strawberry filling, etc. We’ll show you some of our favorite designs to help you decide what would best suit you on your special day!

Get creative! Standard vanilla and chocolate flavors are great, but these days bakers are infusing their cakes with show stopping flavors (maple bacon buttercream, anyone?). Can’t decide which flavors you like best? A multi-tiered cake can usually feature a different flavor for each tier (but will likely add an additional cost). The same goes for fondant, which is considered the classic wedding cake icing. But if you want a standout cake, chat with your baker about alternative icing options. From “naked” cakes to ombre exteriors, the decorations also include endless options.

Some couples choose to serve a traditional wedding cake at their reception, but a tiered wedding cake isn’t the only way to go. A creative dessert display with many sweet offerings (including a wedding cake) is a popular option. This allows brides and grooms to show off their personalities with meaningful desserts like a favorite cookie recipe from childhood or ice cream from their first date.

Cute cupcakes still find their way onto wedding dessert tables and even cake pops and candy buffets have become a popular option. The groom’s cake—typically a smaller, creative cake displayed near the wedding cake—gives the groom the opportunity to spotlight an aspect of his personality, like a guitar-shaped cake or the logo from his university. The cake topper is also another way for a couple to get creative and show off their personality.
