In our blog post about the new modern candy bar, we already mentioned that trends in the world of wedding cakes have changed and evolved. Many bakeries and patisseries in Berlin are also seeing a breath of fresh air in wedding cake design these days.
Classic wedding cakes
The classic wedding cake is always timeless and modern. Nevertheless, the absolutely individually designed wedding cake made just for the bride and groom is becoming increasingly popular. The tried and tested typical German strawberry heart from the bakery across the street is also becoming less and less popular.
Nowadays, hardly any bridal couples opt for an “off-the-peg cake”, which usually resembles the cakes of other couples. Unthinkable – for many couples this is a downright faux pas! As the presentation and cutting of the cake is one of the highlights of every wedding, usually accompanied by music and firework fountains, the work of art must impress the wedding guests. It should also reflect the bride and groom as well as possible. Be it by means of an unusual, eye-catching cake topper, a special color choice and color combination. This fits in with the overall concept of the wedding decorations. There are no limits to how unusual you can make a wedding cake. New shapes can also be developed with the help of eye-catching decorations. More and more often, a logo is also designed to match the wedding. This can be depicted on the cake in a wide variety of versions and variations.
The trend is moving away from traditional ingredients, meaning that good old marzipan is also being pushed further and further into the background. More and more people are turning to the art of cake modeling, which originated in America. Using light sugar funds and icing masses, confectioners can create unique decorations. These decorations have otherwise only found their way onto cakes in plastic. Candied or caramelized, edible and real flowers are also becoming increasingly popular at weddings. These serve as romantic wedding cake decorations.
Wedding cake trends
However, the absolute cake trend, which was one of the main reasons for the emergence of candy bars, is vintage cakes. In pastel colors, decorated with flowers and sugar pearls, they are fabulous eye-catchers at any wedding reception. They radiate their very own charm. The creations are usually smaller, leaving plenty of room for various other treats. These can be presented in a visually impressive way at a candy bar.
Alternatives
If these unusual desserts don’t appeal to you yet, you can also be inspired by another trend. Decorate your cake with ruffles or ruffles or design the color scheme in “ombre style”. This gives the cake a color scheme that blends into one another. This makes every wedding cake unique. There are no limits to the choice of colors – from white to pink to pink and purple. Even otherwise monotonous yellow in different brightness levels and color intensities has a great effect. At this point, you can let your imagination run wild.
