Your Surrey Wedding - Feb/Mar 2019 (Issue 75)

“The growing trend for my business in 2019 is definitely pops of colour,” shares Nina of Cakes by Nina (cakesbyninaweddings.co.uk ). “Navy is going to be a strong hue next year. Also people come to me because of my quirky designs, couples are wanting something different from the norm, a bit of a talking point.” “So many exciting new trends are on the horizon for 2019,” says Lucy of Stable Cottage Cakes (stablecottagecakes.com ). “We’re seeing a sharp (pardon the pun!) increase in the desire for cakes with deep tiers and striking sharp edges. But one of the main growing trends is the use of dramatic dark colours as a base to highlight finer detail. “Any colour, whether pastel or dark makes a great background for white detail such as lace and piping work. So have a think about the main feature elements you want to show off on your cake and the best way to emphasise them. “On the opposite end of the scale are those wanting to go ultra traditional, which in this day and age is more striking than the norm, as cakes done purely in white are a statement centrepiece that gives a nod to the tradition of the past. Classic, clean, and a stunning feature for your wedding day. “Another growing trend is the more personal touches of hand-painted detail such as your love story or a nod to the little things that make your relationship perfect to you. Edible paints are a great way to make your cake 100 per cent unique, so chat to your cake designer about including these elements that will wow your guests.” CAKES BY NINA STABLE COTTAGE CAKES 74
