A few years ago, wedding cakes were almost always tiered confections covered in white icing. Now, a bakery can create anything your heart desires, so you can celebrate your big day in style. Every few months, new decorating techniques catch on, and it can be hard to keep up with what’s current. Below is a sneak peek of the hottest trends for wedding cakes in 2018.

4 Top Wedding Cake Trends for 2018

1. Sugar Flowers

Delicate flowers, petals, and leaves made from sugar create a whimsical and romantic look when affixed to your wedding cake.  Bold, bright colors are especially eye-catching when set against shimmering white icing. Choose seasonal blooms or varieties with sentimental value as inspiration to share with the designers at your bakery.

2. Ruffles

If you love rich, creamy icing, adding flowing layers of ruffles cascading down your cake is a stunning and delicious option. Layers may be monochromatic or create an ombre effect, incorporating pastel hues.

3. White on White

Pearlescent frosting shimmers and shines on your special day. Alternating between matte and metallic whites offer a new spin on a traditional classic. Your bakery can attach subtle pearls or thin ribbons to add glamour without complicating the color scheme.

4. Rustic Stucco

An evolution of last year’s naked cake trend, the stucco look is perfect for boho weddings. The icing is applied in thick layers and then spread using a technique that leaves it looking slightly rough around the edges but still chic. Fresh herbs and flowers or candied fruit make the perfect accessory for these simple cakes.
