2019 Wedding Cake Trends

In all seriousness, having your cake and eating it never goes out of fashion. However, we're always on the lookout for trendy new ideas that you, fabulous brides, can make use of.

So, let's take a look into the latest, drool-worthy, wedding cake trends of 2019.

Geometric Cakes

We're absolutely in love with unconventional wedding cakes in terms of shape and size. An emerging trend is geometric cakes - sharp edges, which are then softened by other textural elements whether it be florals, edible accents or cake toppers.

We particularly love these designs from The Turquoise Squirrel , Chocswirl Cakes, and Bravery Bakes.

Gold Accents

So simple, yet so striking! Gold accents can transform any cake from ordinary to extraordinary. We particularly love these beauties from Shake 'n Bake!

Add some extra luxury and sophistication to your special day with edible gold foil.

Minimalistic

Less is more, right? We are in awe of how Sweet LionHeart can make such a simple cake look so perfect!

These ladies are super-talented and we cannot get enough of their work. So, if you're more of a simple, laid-back bride, this is definitely for you!

Brush-Stroked Cake

Aah, another trend we simply love! Brush-stroked cakes adds an artistic element to any special day. We're loving the variation of watercolour or moody strokes of colour.

Have a look at these gorgeous creations from Cakelab.
