Greetings to all the lovely couples out there! It's your friends at Party Central, diving deep into the delightful world of wedding confectionery. Today, we're serving up a slice of heaven with our curated list of London's Top 10 Wedding Cake Trends for 2022. If you're tying the knot this year, you're in for a treat—literally!
The Return to Royal Icing
Once considered a touch passé, royal icing is making a grand comeback. Embracing the intricate piping and the classic white-on-white look, it adds a dash of vintage charm that is both timeless and chic.
Sculptural Masterpieces
Art isn't only for galleries; it graces wedding venues in the form of sculptural cakes. These edible showpieces are conversation starters, mirroring the personal flair of each bride and groom.
Botanical Embellishments
Nature's beauty blooms on the tiers of London's latest cake designs. Fresh or sugar-crafted flowers, greenery, and even succulents are gracing cakes, turning them into botanical wonders.
Painterly Palettes
Cakes have become canvases for watercolour washes and painted accents. Soft hues and brushstrokes lend a romantic and bespoke touch to each tier.
Metallic Accents
Gold leaf, edible glitter, and metallic shades add a touch of opulence. Whether it's a full shimmer tier or delicate flecks, metallics ensure your cake has that luxurious sparkle.
Minimalist Chic
In stark contrast to more ornate styles, minimalist cakes stand out with their clean lines and understated elegance. Sometimes, less is indeed more.
Deconstructed Cakes
Think outside the traditional cake shape with an array of smaller, complementary cakes. This trend allows for a variety of flavours and designs, catering to every taste.
Black Wedding Cakes
Bold and beautiful, black cakes defy convention. Paired with the right accents, they can be both dramatic and sophisticated.
Edible Lace
Delicate and dainty, edible lace adorning your cake offers an ethereal and romantic nod to the bridal gown itself.
Personalized Monograms
Monograms are the ultimate personal touch. Couples are now choosing to embellish their cakes with initials or bespoke crests that symbolise their union.
