Wedding Cake Trend

YumSugar: The first trend on the list is personalized cakes. Edith Meyer said that “Cakes for 2007 seem to be much more personal and less I-saw-this-in-a-magazine.” She’s even had clients bring in handpainted heirloom china to create on the cake. Another personalized trend is the introduction of the initial monogramming, as well as the return of the personalized cake topper.
Another trend in the wedding cake world is a unique shape. People are steering further from the traditional three-tiered cake and are delving into the worlds of odd shapes, crooked pieces and unique shapes. Colette Peters, author of Colette’s Wedding Cakes, believes that this year, in addition to more personalized cakes, there are more crooked cakes. This cake was made by her and definitely features a rather unique stacking.
An additional trend for 2007 is colorful cakes. Susan Morgan stated that although she has been doing colored cakes for years, now “everyone wants coordination throughout the wedding.” Cakes are no longer just white and cream. You’ll now find colors from hot pink, orange, spring green, etc – whatever matches the wedding scheme.
Personally I think wedding cakes are going to start upstaging wedding dresses. Watch out fashion designers, these cake decorators are really stepping things up!
