Trends that will make your special day even sweeter
The moment of cutting the wedding cake is one of the most awaited moments in any celebration, and no wonder! Not only is it a perfect opportunity to take beautiful photos, but it is also a sweet way to end the banquet. But, like everything in weddings, cakes also follow trends, and this 2024 and 2025 are loaded with innovative and creative trends that will make this dessert unforgettable. If you are getting married soon, take note of the following wedding cake trends and choose the one that best suits your style.
MINIMALIST CAKES
Less is more
One of the strongest trends in weddings today is minimalism, and this is also reflected in wedding cakes. Minimalist cakes are characterised by clean lines, few decorations and a neutral or pastel colour palette. What stands out most about this trend is the elegance that simplicity can bring. Instead of complicated decorations, these cakes rely on simple but tasteful details, such as fresh flowers, plain finishes and polished icings.
NAKED CAKES
Rustic but charming
Another trend that continues to be on the rise is the semi-naked cake, also known as the naked cake. This style of cake, which became popular at rustic and boho-chic weddings, is still a very popular choice. The naked cakes have a light layer of icing that allows part of the cake to show through, giving them a natural, casual look.
This style is perfect for couples who want a more relaxed and romantic wedding, or for outdoor celebrations, such as in the countryside or on a beach. In addition, these cakes are often decorated with fresh fruit or natural flowers, which makes them not only delicious, but also very visually appealing.
PERSONALISED CAKES
A unique touch
Every couple is unique, and many are looking for ways to reflect their personality in every aspect of their wedding. Personalised wedding cakes are a growing trend, allowing the bride and groom to create a design that tells their love story or includes important elements of their life together.
From cakes inspired by common hobbies (such as travel, movies or sports) to monogrammed designs of the bride and groom, these cakes are not only delicious, but also a reflection of the couple's personalities. This type of cake is ideal for those who want a more individual and detailed approach.

CAKES WITH EDIBLE FLOWERS
Freshness in every bite
Edible flowers have gained ground in the world of confectionery, and weddings in 2024 will be no exception. This type of decoration adds a romantic, fresh and very elegant touch. Edible flowers can be combined with plain icings for a minimalist look or with more detailed details for a more elaborate style.
Moreover, this trend is perfect for outdoor or spring weddings, as edible flowers give a natural and ethereal touch to the cakes. Floral flavours are also gaining prominence, such as lavender, rose or hibiscus flavoured cakes.
METALLIC WEDDING CAKES

Design and avant-garde
Geometric design is making a big splash in the world of wedding cakes. With clean lines, angular shapes and repetitive patterns, these cakes are perfect for couples looking for a modern and artistic approach.

GIANT AND SELF-SERVICE CAKES
The ‘Wow’ factor and comfort in one concept
And we leave for the end the trends that are causing the biggest sensation for weddings in 2024 are the giant cakes and the options of self-service.
Giant cakes are not only an impressive visual spectacle, but also add a dramatic and majestic touch to the event. These types of cakes are often multi-layered and towering in height, making them the centre of attention at the reception. Perfect for large and luxurious weddings, giant cakes are not only delicious, but also offer a real «wow factor» for guests.
On the other hand, for those couples looking for a more interactive and relaxed experience, the self-service cakes are gaining ground. Instead of having a single cake served by waiters, this trend allows guests to serve themselves, creating a more informal and social atmosphere. These cakes are divided into small portions or different layers, allowing each guest to choose and cut their own portion. This option is ideal for weddings with a more casual and casual approach, where comfort and interaction between guests is a priority.
Both trends, although different, allow you to tailor the wedding cake experience to suit the style of the event, whether glamorous or more relaxed.
Remember there are no limits when it comes to your wedding, let your imagination run wild and surprise everyone with a cake that speaks of who you are as a couple!
