They are works of art that can incorporate your personalities and the time of year. With so many options to choose from, it can feel overwhelming, but don’t panic; there is something out there to suit everyone. To help give you heaps of inspiration, we’ve asked some of the region’s cake makers for their trend predictions for 2025… “Elopements and smaller weddings are rising in popularity and they can still have an incredibly beautiful cake. This square cake is adorned with handmade sugar flowers that make a beautiful keepsake long after the cake has been devoured.” – Amber Briggs from Love Wedding Cakes. “Many 2024 couples have decided to buck the tradition of a wedding cake and have opted for alternatives, such as towers of brownies, doughnut walls or sweet grazing tables.” – Emma Palmer from Emma’s Little Cakeshop. “Popular cake designs include wild and whimsical. Couples seem to be more well informed and happy to learn about what will be in season and what is locally grown. They want to bring this knowledge into their cake design.” – Poppy Sayers from The Hazlebury Kitchen. “Floral spirals around cakes are popular. Taking abstract cake design to a new level, there’s no need for florals on the cake, but taking them around it!” – Amber Cox from Ambers Bakes and Cakes. www.thehazleburykitchen.com & www.nataliepluck.com www.facebook.com/emmaslittlecakeshop www.ambersbakesncakes.co.uk & www.haphotography.co.uk www.theoutrageouscakecompany.co.uk “Full buttercream-coated cakes in various finishes are very popular, be it white/ivory or in the colours of your chosen theme to add a wow factor. There is still a place for the classic white fondant iced cake; they are timelessly elegant and can be stunning in their simplicity or dressed with fresh, dried or sugar flowers to create a real statement.” – Anna Claffey from Cakes by Anna. www.cakesbyannac.co.uk www.loveweddingcakes.co.uk & www.hollyhamblingphotography.co.uk “We have found that the trend for cakes has changed considerably over the last few years, with tendencies moving towards a more elegant and slimline design, which is either a very classic covered cake or a fancy piped design.” – Tina from The Outrageous Cake Company.
