Wedding Cake Trends
Wedding Cakes come in a huge array of styles, designs, sizes and flavours. And much like wedding dresses and decor, they also follow trends.
While the classic white wedding cake continues to be popular, more and more couples lean towards popular styles of the moment and wedding decor trends often feature in their chosen cake design.
Rustic wedding cake trends
Rustic weddings have become increasingly popular in recent years, and wedding cakes are no exception. The popularity of these cakes can be attributed to their charming, natural and relaxed appearance.
Rustic cakes often feature earthy tones, natural textures, and simple decorations, such as fresh flowers or fruit. These cakes offer a more casual and personalized feel to the wedding, and can perfectly complement a rustic theme.
Rustic cake trends include semi-naked cakes, buttercream cakes and bark effects. The trend towards rustic weddings also reflects a desire for a more intimate and close-to-nature celebration.

Four-tier wedding cakes
For many years the three-tier wedding cake has been the most popular choice. Party cakes tend to be two tiers or smaller, so wedding cakes are usually three tiers to account for the need for additional portions.
While three-tier cakes look beautiful, we have noticed in the last few years, four-tier cakes have increased in popularity.
Four-tier wedding cakes look tall, elegant and sophisticated. With more space to add textures, you get to create a really beautiful, bespoke cake to fit your style and wedding theme.
Four-tier wedding cakes don’t cost the earth, adding a little top tier won’t give you a huge number of additional portions, but it does change the overall look of the cake.
