Individual desserts and mini cakes look amazing and give a personal feel.” – Samantha Sagar, Sammy’s Iced Fancies www.facebook.com/icedfancies www.threelittlebirdsbakery.co.uk “With larger weddings on the horizon, this doesn’t mean you have to blow your budget on a huge cake. Smaller weddings are just as exciting and you can give your bake the wow factor with dummy tiers and extra embellishments.” – Samantha Sagar, Sammy’s Iced Fancies “Flavour-wise, I have noticed my couples are becoming more adventurous, selecting obscure flavours like peach, pistachio and earl grey and pairing them with different fillings to make it bespoke. Thyme caramel, anyone?” – Katrina Armitage, Katrina’s Bespoke Cakes “Wafer-paper techniques are proving popular, such as sails to create movement and texture or ruffles for an ethereal effect. We’re loving designs incorporating the Pantone Colours of the Year: Ultimate Grey and Illuminating Yellow. Grey represents assurance and resilience, while yellow is uplifting and cheerful – just what we need in these uncertain times!” – Gina Morley & Gillian Mealor, Ginilla Cake Design www.ginillacakedesign.co.uk | www.inf cusphotographic.com “Abstract buttercream designs are proving popular, with couples leaning towards buttercream over fondant. Semi- naked designs are still on trend, but with the addition of metallics to give them a contemporary twist. When it comes to flavours, my pistachio cake is being booked a lot and chocolate and salted caramel is super-popular.” – Rebecca Severs, Three Little Birds Bakery 56
