CREATIVE WEDDING CAKES TO WOW YOUR GUESTS
Sweet celebrations
A wedding cake is not just a delicious treat; it can be a decorative centerpiece adding personal charm and whimsy to your reception. Couples today are opting for unique styles of wedding cakes that reflect their personalities and make a statement. In this blog post, we'll explore five distinctive and delightful styles that are sure to leave a lasting impression on both taste buds and hearts.
WAVY PIPING
We’ve been loving this more recent trend of super artistic wavy piping. One of the most captivating aspects of this style is the use of color. Cake decorators can play with an array of shades to create a stunning ombré effect or opt for contrasting colors to make the waves pop. The versatility of wavy piping allows couples to match the cake to their wedding theme or create a show-stopping dessert that becomes a focal point of any celebration. We’ve been geeking out over this technicolor masterpiece by Cry Baby Cakes and this wavy blue beauty from Picnic Baked Goods from Joshua Tree, California.
SCULPTURAL CAKES
Yip Studio, Yip Studio, Yip Studio!!! No one masters this style like Amy Yip, who utilizes her background in textile and print design to transform her desserts into pieces of ephemeral art. The cakes are defined by their unique exploration of various rock textures and sculptural shapes, often adorned with fruits and meticulous arrangement of flowers. These cakes are absolutely wild, and will absolutely wow your guests.
PRESSED FLORALS
Pressed floral cakes stand out as a timeless and romantic choice. From the meticulous artistry of pressing flowers to the breathtaking final creations, these cakes bring a touch of nature's elegance to wedding celebrations. For couples seeking a cake that combines artistry, beauty, and a connection to the natural world, pressed floral wedding cakes offer a blooming masterpiece that will be remembered long after the last slice is enjoyed. Pictured below are 2 stunning examples of pressed floral cakes by Flouring LA.
VINTAGE VIBES
Transport your guests back in time with a wedding cake inspired by vintage aesthetics. From lace and pearls to intricate patterns reminiscent of a bygone era, vintage-style cakes exude nostalgia. These cakes are perfect for couples who appreciate the charm of the past and want to incorporate timeless elegance into their wedding celebration. We love these examples pictured from Bodega Cakes in Brooklyn, and Roz Custom Cakes in Los Angeles!
Cake Tablescapes
A more recent trend that actually makes a lot of sense! This can be a easy DIY by buying grocery store sheet cakes and then having your florist decorate with flowers. If you want to go the distance, and have the super dramatic long cake tablescape display, we recommend hiring a pro like I Bake Mistakes out of Los Angeles, Ca. These long cake displays are a great approach for a self serve dessert table.
Choosing a wedding cake is an opportunity for couples to showcase their creativity and personality. Whether opting for the dreamy floral style, the vintage glam look, or something super avant garde, the style you choose can add a unique touch to your event. As couples continue to explore innovative and personalized options, the world of wedding cakes remains a delightful and evolving canvas for culinary artistry and sweet delight.
