The wedding industry is constantly evolving, and so are the trends that shape it. As we approach the 2025 wedding season, couples are blending the best of classic and contemporary styles for their wedding cakes, from timeless Vintage Lambeth designs to bespoke modern masterpieces. We understand that wedding planning can be overwhelming, and choosing the perfect cake shouldn't add to the stress. That’s why we've compiled a list of fabulous cake trends for the 2024/2025 season, expertly curated by Trisha Ras from Dirty Peach Cake Boutique.
The vintage queen is making a lasting mark! Lambeth-style cakes have taken the wedding world by storm - and it's easy to see why! These hand-piped masterpieces, adorned with luscious buttercream details, exude nostalgia and timeless elegance, making them the perfect centrepiece for any special celebration. With their intricate tiers and classic charm, there's no doubt that Lambeth cakes will remain a beloved wedding trend for years to come.
In recent years, smaller weddings and intimate elopements have become more popular, with couples still embracing the tradition of cutting the cake - without worrying about it going to waste. Heart-shaped cakes are stealing the spotlight, and not just in the wedding world! These charming creations never fail to impress. Whether adorned with custom wording, topped with glittering cherry crowns, or kept simple with elegant piping, they offer endless possibilities. And do they look fabulous?! Oh yes they do!!
Cake centrepieces are the latest trend taking the wedding industry by storm, and we’re fully on board! Picture a beautifully decorated rectangular cake sitting at the heart of your table, adorned with fresh flowers, fruits, intricate buttercream piping - you name it. This unique touch not only adds a stunning visual element to your table setup but also creates an unforgettable dining experience when it’s finally cut. We predict that centrepiece cakes might just be the new "naked cake"—a trend that's here to stay for the foreseeable future!
There’s no denying that fresh flowers on cakes are a timeless trend. Whether you adorn your cake with blooms, create a whimsical cake meadow, or press flowers to craft a mini garden, florals will always make a stunning statement! For the 2024/2025 season, we’re expecting to see cakes beautifully embellished with bold, colourful, and dramatic floral arrangements—an enchanting touch that never goes out of style.
Guests will embark on a culinary adventure through a landscape of sweet indulgence, with dessert tables and cake bars becoming the new social hotspots of wedding receptions! A stunning wedding cake takes centre stage, surrounded by an array of cupcakes, pastries and artisanal confections, offering something for every palate. This setup invites guests to mix and match from the tempting variety, crafting their own personalised dessert plates. It’s a feast for the senses - a playful and delicious celebration of the shared joy in honour of the happy couple! Love this!
These cakes are true showstoppers, serving as breathtaking focal points at receptions with their grandeur and intricate details. They're a far cry from traditional buttercream creations. Imagine a monochromatic canvas adorned with artistic brushstrokes, stencils, or palette knife textures, finished with sugar flowers, ruffled fondant, delicate piping AND hand-painted monograms, just to name a few. The result? A one-of-a-kind masterpiece that perfectly reflects your modern style. Crafting these cakes is pure joy, even if it means pulling out a ladder to reach their towering heights - they're worth every bit of effort, sweat, and maybe even a happy tear or two!
We hope these trends spark your creativity and help you design the cake of your dreams for the upcoming wedding season! Have fun with the process, and remember, your cake queen is always here to bring your sweetest visions to life. Let’s make your cake dreams a reality together!
