New Trends In Wedding Cakes

New Trends In Wedding Cakes
By Michelle Davis

Gone are the days of plain-vanilla cakes with butter cream
frosting and red roses. While there is nothing wrong with a
simple, more old fashioned cake, the trends are getting a bit
more zany with many new flavors, styles, and choices in wedding
cakes.

If you are a modern bride and having a modern wedding, you may
want to consider some of the new trends that are becoming
popular in wedding cakes. Let tradition go to the winds and pick
a cake that suits you and your groom, and the mood of your
special day.

New Trend
One new trend that is happening for wedding cakes is leaving
the traditional cake altogether and choosing cupcakes instead.
This allows you to have different kinds of cake and different
kinds of frosting and is much less messy than cutting the
traditional cake.

Many brides have also found that cupcakes were much more budget
friendly as well. If you still have a bit of kid left in you and
you are having a casual wedding, you may want to consider
serving cupcakes at your wedding.

Instead of the sweet and fattening icings, many brides are now
turning to wedding cakes that have toppings that are much
healthier. Brides are beginning to favor cakes that are topped
in various fruits, depending on the season and the style of the
wedding.

A beach wedding may lead to a cake topped with tropical fruits,
or a spring wedding may lend itself to a cake topped with
luscious strawberries. Not only is fruit much healthier, but it
is great tasting and a decoration all its own on your cake.

Cheesecake with Toppings
Another new trend that is quickly picking up speed is having
cheesecake instead of traditional wedding cakes. While this
choice can get a bit expensive, this is an elegant cake to serve
at your wedding. Cheesecake is great to serve at those evening
weddings that are classy and elegant.

If you are having a wedding that requires black tie, but you
are not wanting to settle for a regular wedding cake, you may
want to consider having cheesecake. There are many flavors and
toppings that you can choose, as well, when you decide on
cheesecake, so be original.

If you want to stick with a more traditional wedding cake but
you want it to look trendy and chic, you may want to consider
having a less traditional shape. Wedding cakes can be made in
different shapes including hearts, shaped like suitcases,
stacked shapes, or even shaped to look like presents. Having a
different shape can give your wedding cake a unique look and
help to coordinate your cake with the theme of your wedding.

Remember that you want your wedding cake to be unique as you
are and you want it to stand out. There is no need to stick with
tradition when it comes to wedding cakes. Throw tradition to the
wind and pick a cake that will make you happy and have guests
raving for months.
