Wedding Cakes: Trends for 2009

Most often, one of the last details the bride and groom attend to is the wedding cake. In 2009, this may be a mistake–especially since wedding cakes have become somewhat of a style trend (can you say designer cakes?) and have evolved into more than the standard two-tiered, white frostinged finale to the reception meal. So, if style matters to you, here are a couple of sites you’ll want to visit great ideas:

Visit Wedding Cake Trends from Bakery Craft for super ideas and beautiful photos of seven wedding cake styles including:

  • Opulence (think brocade fabrics, beaded gowns and precious stones)
  • Black & White (perfect for formal and casual gatherings)
  • Color Strong (bounty of color)
  • Silhouettes (think “wedding cake architecture”)
  • Lace (hand-embroidery in frosting)
  • Destination and Eco-Friendly (think destination weddings and earth-tone colors).

Also, you’ll want to read Cori Russell’s article titled “Wedding Cakes – 7 Top Trends For 2009”. Russell, editor for Elegala.com and Gala Weddings Magazine, highlights trends including:

  • Going back to buttercream (she says that thanks to advanced tools and techniques, buttercream can look as smooth as fondant)
  • Using chocolate frosting
  • Decorating your wedding cake in shades of blue and pink
  • Creating square mini-cakes (think spin-off of cupcake towers)
  • Using scripted text (calligraphy-style motifs)
  • Nationalizing Groom’s Cakes (an old Southern tradition)
