Vintage glamour is the current catch cry of many couples we are seeing and with that we have been designing some really beautiful and elegant wedding cakes.
There is a real tread towards the classic, waspy style with lots of white on white, ivory and old fashioned elegance.
Think intricate piping, sugar flowers, monograms and lots of tiers.
Here are some of our classically elegant cakes
Here at Cake Occasions we like to stay ahead of trends rather than “on trend”. With each cake we try to push the boundaries of design, construction and colour, we want each client’s cake to be unique, to be personally designed and constructed for them.
So it was with great pleasure that we identified some emerging trends in cake design in this months Cosmo Bride
When designing a cake think about using colour, different textures, oversized sugar flowers or sugar paste love birds as toppers.
Play around with flavours, try peppermint ganache with dark chocolate mud cake or orange mocha.
You are only limited by your imagination.
When I think of the colour grey in relation to food, it produces images of my step dad over boiling broccoli and brussel sprouts. So what do I make of grey cakes ? I LOVE them and it is only a colour after all, not the mushed up veg to go with it.
Chris created this awesome cake late last year for a photo shoot which unfortunately hit the cutting room floor. We really love using bold colours and interesting design features and the combination of grey, yellow, black and white is a real winner at cake occasions. I also think it is a colour combo to watch, just this morning when I was reading the Wedding Paper Divas Blog they had a post this very colour combination.
Chris and I were recently asked to compile a list of trends emerging in cake design.
This gave me a great chance to sit down and go through all the different sketches and cakes that we have done this year.
What struck me was the amount of cakes we are doing that have birds as toppers or which are included in the design.
Even our gorgeous new baby Jasper is getting in on the act.
The cake that started it all.
