Trends in wedding cakes, just like everything else, evolve with the times. Not only are they a major style statement, which reflect the personalities and tastes of each individual bride and groom, but they present a perfect opportunity for creative brides to play with shape, colour and embellishments.
2009 certainly seemed to be the year of the cupcake, with 2010 following suit. Towers of cupcakes or individual cakes are ideal as an individual serving for each guest, topped with a small 6 inch tiered cake for the bride and groom to cut or freeze as a traditional Christening cake.
However, by no means should you disregard the tiered wedding cake! Although having each tier separated by pillars seems to have taken a step back these days, the big trend right now is to have each tier stacked directly one on top of the other to create clean, classic lines of elegance.
As far as colours go, pink is still strong in 2010, as is burgundy, and for some chic elegance, many are leaning towards all white designs. Browns with baby pinks and baby blues are beautiful, as are pastels with white embellishments. Tropical themes for those of you getting married in hotter climes and then returning for your reception are always fabulous, incorporating hot pinks and oranges.

Flowers continue to be a popular adornment for wedding cakes and simple blooms such as calla lilies and daisies have replaced some of the more ‘fancy’ varieties of flower. Simple embellishments such as dots, curving scrollwork, and family monograms are also high in popularity to help personalise your cake.
Most importantly, remember that the cake should reflect your individual style, and you cannot go wrong no matter what you choose. Once the confetti has settled, you want to be able to look back at your pictures and be confident that you made the right choice.
