We’ve already shared some wedding food trends and one of them was handpainted wedding cakes. But if you are getting married this year, there are many other cake trends you may incorporate to make your dessert table edgy. Ready to see them all? Let’s start!
Black Wedding Cakes
Lush and moody has been a winter wedding trend for a while now, but it seems that color palettes are getting a little darker. Black wedding cakes are having a real moment right now, and they are amazingly pretty. Luxurious black celestial wedding cakes with even lights, marbleized and geode black wedding cakes, matte black elegance decorated with gold foil, copper drips and natural or sugar blooms – this is perfection!

Pressed Edible Flowers
If you’re looking to take your wedding cake to the next level and you have a green thumb, try adding edible flowers from your own garden. Instead of just placing the flowers on top of the cake, press them before and decorate away! You may also combine pressed fresh blooms and some painted ones to create a perfect look for your cake.

Color Block
Simple and beautiful never go out of style. Add a pop of color to your wedding cake by making one of the other layers your color of choice instead of a neutral color like white. Try to mix white and metallics, add sugar and fresh blooms, fruits and berries on top.
