Wedding Cake Trends 2013
Mint is going to be a huge trend for 2013. It’s a great colour and lends itself well to many different themes. Paired with pastel yellow, it makes for an amazing looking cake. Not only are you going to see this soft colour on the wedding cake decorations, but you will taste it as well. The flavour will be incorporated into the cake itself (think vanilla peppermint or choc-mint cake) or into the icing (think fluffy mint buttercreams and peppermint caramel fillings).
Birds will also be featuring in 2013 wedding cakes. You’ll be seeing bird details on the cake such as painted birds, fondant birds, bird cake toppers and birds’ nest decorations.
Vintage inspired wedding cakes will still be a big trend in 2013. These cake designs will be inspired by the bride’s wedding dress, so we’ll be seeing lots of lace patterns and sparkling accents to mimic the crystal or pearl buttons. Another great vintage inspired design element will be large sugar roses, which will add an ultra-feminine touch to the wedding cake.
Black & white will still be a popular trend in 2013. Whether it’s a vintage style theme or a more clean and modern look, black and white will still be making a statement at weddings. A new version of the black and white colour scheme will be to add a splash of colour on the cake, by adding colourful sugar flowers.
Classic Favorites Cake Flavours - Vanilla, Chocolate, Banana, Almond, Coconut, Lemon, Red Velvet, Raspberry Vanilla Swirl, Chocolate Vanilla Swirl, Pumpkin Spice, and Chai.
Favorite Fillings - Raspberry Butter Cream, Cream Cheese, Lime, Vanilla Butter Cream, Chocolate Butter Cream, Lemon Butter Cream, Strawberry Butter Cream, Almond Butter Cream, Coffee Butter Cream, Peanut Butter Butter Cream.
Bows - Bows, ribbons and diamante clips (jeweled clips), are still haute and will remain popular. If you are going for this type of design, try to find unique ribbon, or an antique broach to set your cake apart.
Flowers - One thing that’ll be big in 2013 is the vintage theme, and not just for weddings in general, but this will also apply to bouquets too. If you’re not going to go all out with the full vintage them, you can incorporate it into your flower wear with hand tied bouquets with lace, and ribbon laced fabric. Whether you’re having a vintage themed wedding or you’re just looking for a nice bohemian touch to your wedding then opting for a vintage bouquet is a good way to go. A beautiful lace binding can add a touch of class to your bundle of flowers.
Hand Painted Cakes - In bold colours and patterns will be big in 2013. Hand painted accents and details are suitable for a wedding with unique theme and interesting patterns. Decorating a cake with free hand painting is indeed an art form, so make sure your cake designer is trained and experienced.
Desserts / Cake Table - Mix things up a bit and give your guests some selection. Get a smaller cake and offer cupcakes, tarts, cookies, cake pops, any kind of baked goods and make a beautiful display out of it. This is great to add focus to an otherwise usless wall or corner of your venue too.
