Your South Wales Wedding - May/June 2022 (Issue 85)

“Metallics are still going strong and the addition of silver or gold leaf is a welcome design aspect that can add the perfect finishing touch to a cake.” – Zoe from The Vale Cake Boutique. “Treat towers can range from cupcakes, brownies, chocolate strawberries, doughnuts, cheesecakes, or whatever the couple fancies. These usually go down well with the guests as they are bite-sized portions meaning they can try a variety of treats available. The couple also usually orders a small cutting cake for the ceremony.” – Malwina from Cakes and Bakes. “I love working with buttercream as you can create some beautiful details with it and it also tastes delicious.” – Zoe from Ginger Bear Bakery. “Within the last 12 months, I have found that cake trends have become very exciting. Buttercream textures are very popular, mixed with fresh or dried florals in oversized arrangements.” – Zoe from Ginger Bear Bakery. www.thevalecakeboutique.com https://alsphotography.co.uk and www.facebook.com/thegingerbearbakery www.leeshawilliamsphoto.com and www.facebook.com/thegingerbearbakery www.instagram.com/malbakescakes www.thevalecakeboutique.com “Replicating patterns is a lovely trend that is present this year and we are finding requests for designs based on the dress and invitations are increasing.” – Zoe from The Vale Cake Boutique. “Individual cakes can range from mini-cutting versions or cupcakes which are cut or put on the buffet for people to help themselves. This is getting more popular as couples can select a few different flavours.” – Malwina from Cakes and Bakes. www.instagram.com/malbakescakes CAKES 51
