Wedding Cake: Trends 2015 – Wedding Stories
Wedding Cake
A wedding isn’t a real wedding without a wedding cake, it’s as simple as that. And just like wedding dresses, wedding themes and wedding locations, wedding cake also tends to follow a certain trend. In this blog post I will take a closer look at the 5 biggest trends for the 2015 wedding cake fashion.
Trend #1: Simplicity With A Personal Touch
It seems that in 2015, couples really want their wedding cake to reflect their personality. They would like it to be something unique and personal. This doesn’t neccessarily mean that wedding cake is becoming more extravagant, eye-catching or complicated. Au contrary, simplicity is growing in popularity this year. Even still, the wedding cake will stay the no 1 item on the wedding menu, displayed at the wedding reception and the focal point of the food area.
Trend #2: It’s All About The Flavor
People always tend to be curious about the wedding cake and to talk about the cake and well, to finally get their share of this heavenly treat. But to get back to the trends, the focus in 2015 is moving more and more towards the actual flavors of the cake. A wedding cake has to not simply look amazing, it has to taste really good too. Think chocolate orange ganache, buttercream and berries or rich caramel cake.
Trend #3: Gold Is HOT!
2015 Shows a big popularity towards gold, rose gold, copper and bronze notes. Real gold leaves and edible paint are used to really shine up the cake. It’s warm and glamorous and makes quite a strong statement. It is either used for the finer detailing or over large areas of the cake to really pop.
Trend #4: Romantic Sugarflowers
This truly creates a ‘WOW’ factor. It’s in sharp contrast to the earlier mentioned simple design, but wedding cake covered from top to bottom with amazing 3D sugarflowers is particularly popular in 2015. A very romantic yet modern twist on traditional sugar crafting.
Trend #5: Bold Statements
This trend basically means that the options are endless. Think lots of outspoken colors, geometrical designs or even a hanging cake – yup, chandelier style. Why? Why not! This definitely creates a jaw-dropping effect and can be translated into many different bold designs and themes.
So there you go, these are the 5 main wedding cake trends for 2015. Now it’s up to you to decide what kind of cake person you really are. Also, if you just don’t feel the whole layer cake thing, it might be worth to look into alternative options such as towers of cup cakes, macarons or Croquembouches.
