Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - Dec/Jan 2019 (Issue 74)

Delicious big-day cake trends for 2020 A SLICE OF THE “Cakes for 2020 are going to be prettier and bigger than ever! Couples are requesting taller versions with dummy tiers for extra height and drama. There seems to also be a return to the more traditional look, with lots of white-on-white designs.”– Kerry Hemms, Angel’s Kitchena “The naked cake is still popular, but we’re moving away from the rustic look and seeing more gold-drip designs, bold floral arrangements and greenery. For iced cakes, adding gold or silver leaf will bring it up to date.” – Sam Hunter-Wandzel, Cake Cake Cake “I’ve seen more textured styles in pastel blue and green coming through for next season. Couples like a choice of flavours, which is why four-tier bakes and dessert tables appeal.” – Louise Hitchens, Louise’s Bespoke Bakes “Last year saw a lot of geometric shapes, copper and fault-line styles. I think 2020 will continue some of these trends but with more dark, bold hues, foliage and plenty of metallic on the horizon.” – Emily Short, Fig & Fern Bakery “As people become more environmentally conscious, couples are opting for locally grown seasonal flowers or dried blooms to decorate their bakes.” - Alison Hieron, Creative Collections Yes, the dress, venue and entertainment are important, but what we want to talk about is the delicious sugary sweet treat awaiting guests at the reception! We asked some of the best cake companies in Bristol and Somerset for their predictions on what masterpieces we’ll be eating in 2020… action angelskitchen.co.uk cakedesignbyhollymiller.com | lizbakerphotography.co.uk creativecollections.uk | bradwakefield.com figandfernbakery.co.uk | hannahmarieweddingphotography.com joannapydacakestudio.co.uk louisesbespokebakes.co.uk | hannahsharpe.co.uk prettycakecreations.co.uk | adamlowndes.co.uk CAKES 55
