Top Wedding Cakes Trends to Look Out For in 2020

Fault Line Cakes - Fault line cakes are certainly the new trend when it comes to weddings. I call them ‘edible pieces of art’. They are unique and eye-catching as it gives the impression that the outer chunk of the cake is missing, and instead you see piles of sprinkles, fruits and cookies filled into the interior. It’s only when you slice it, that you can see the cake’s actual moist interior.

Naked Cakes - These cakes can be easily recognised by their exposed layers and minimal garnishes. They are elegant and simplistic and often fit in well with the colour themes of most wedding. These cakes have become a staple style of cakes for various other occasions apart from weddings as they are rustic and do not look over the top.

Semi-Naked Cakes - Semi-naked cakes are very simple and minimalistic but can fit any colour combination, wedding theme and be decorated to look elegant and opulent with beautiful flowers. These cakes are preferred by guests who like simplicity and are not looking for a specific style preference.

Textured Cakes - These designs are a recent trend that is taking over the world of cake decorating and it has really opened a new dimension in cake making. This is my favorite trend and I am sure this is only going to get more popular and in demand in the next couple of years.
