2017 Wedding Cake Trends to Look Forward To
2017-02-02
The cutting of a wedding cake is an age-old tradition with various symbolisms. In modern years, wedding cakes have been given another role: an impressive display to wow guests.
If you have yet to decide on a cake for your big day, use this list of predicted trends as a guide. In fact, be bold and try to combine some of these different trend in one cake!
Metallic
Naturally, one will not see anything with a metallic surface and think it to be edible. Despite that, metallic cake is one of the hottest up-and-coming trend! A sleek, shiny exterior easily boosts the elegance of a cake. Be it gold, silver, or copper — and going full metallic or only using it as accents — this will certainly amaze your guests.
Marble
Marble prints were everywhere in 2016 — on phone cases, tabletops, notebook, the list goes on. It was only a matter of time before it made its way onto wedding cakes. This trend is not going anywhere in 2017.

Naked
A naked cake is unfrosted, or sometimes barely frosted. This is perfect for couples who believe that less is more and appreciate a rustic vibe.
Geometric Patterns
If you like minimalism but want something that looks more put together than a naked cake, go for a cake with simple geometric patterns. You will still get the clean, edgy look without having the cake be too intricate.

Geode
Without getting too geographical, geodes are hollow rocks with crystals lining its cavity. Beautiful in nature, beautiful on a cake too.

Watercolour painted
After ombre coloured cakes, it is unsurprising that “watercolour painted” cakes become a trend as well. Different hues subtly blend into one another, achieving a colourful look without being too in-your-face.
