"Let them eat cake!"



In the 21st century, as computers and cellphones get smaller and more "user-friendly," we see the same trends in wedding cakes. Couples are downsizing their cakes, and turning away from many traditional forms of wedding cakes.

Cupcakes are an increasingly popular trend. They are the perfect serving size and eliminate the complications that come with cutting a large, multi-tiered cake. Cupcakes can become one of your personal creative outlets for your special day. They can be arranged uniquely; for instance, since flowers are a popular trend in spring, the cupcakes can be organized alongside floral arrangements. Furthermore, each tier or even each piece can be decorated differently. The simple cuteness of cupcakes make them a preferred cake choice for many brides this season.

Alongside cupcakes is the "minicake." Minicakes can be put on the top of a cupcake rack so that toppers can still be utilized and so that the couple can complete the cake cutting ceremony. Some brides are preferring minicakes to multi-tiered cakes for the convenience of them. Minicakes remove the fuss out of cutting a larger cake.

Cake balls are also an up-and-coming cake trend. They are small but satisfying and are just as cute as cupcakes. These no hassle party favours can be an alternative to large pieces of cake. They are child-friendly and these bite-size cakes deliver a burst of flavour that kids won't be able to get enough of.

Lastly, brides are going with less frills and more flavour for their wedding cakes with fresh fruit. Fresh fruit is perfect for the spring and summer seasons because the fruit is in season and incredibly delicious. This option combines a fruit table and a traditional wedding cake together. Merging these two ideas together is a simply unique idea.

The cutting of the cake is symbollic of the completion of the married couple's first task completed together. Although wedding cake trends are evolving, the meaning behind the wedding cake will always stay the same.
