Cake Trends for 2011: All cakes are entirely Edible

Cakes can be a beautiful centerpiece for any wedding or birthday party. Who doesn’t love cake? Using the cake as the centerpiece  is one of the best ways to make any occasion extra special.

It is possible to creatively customize a cake to look almost like anything. Here are some of the top cake trends:

Personalization
There was once a time when brides had to choose cake from a baker’s catalog. Today’s brides don’t want a replica, they want a one-of-a-kind cake, individually designed to their own personal style, just for them. Taking inspiration from bridal attire, wedding invitations, flowers and color palette, today’s cake designers are able to create truly unique and personalized cakes.

Grooms Cakes
The idea of a cake for the groom is a relatively new concept, but one that has gained popularity. Usually a groom’s cake is designed as a spectacular sculpted cake that represents the groom’s unique personality, hobbies and interests.

Vintage
Vintage decor is on the rise when it comes to cakes in 2011. These vintage details include broaches, feathers, and lace designs that are typically in a champagne or cream color combination. Paired with a contemporary cake shape or a modern asymmetrical stacking, this style is the new vintage.

3D Replica
With all the popularity of cake shows on television right now, it seems as though everyone wants to incorporate a spectacular sculpted cake into their party. These cakes add an exciting factor to any party whether it’s a bar mitzvah, birthday or wedding. Most popular with the fashionistas are the replica purse cakes.

Varying Heights
Lately cakes tiers can be similar in diameter but vary widely in height, allowing even small cakes to have a grand presence. In addition, tall and skinny cakes are making their mark.

Black and White
The dramatic and oh so classic style of a black and white cake were in last year and will still be hot in 2011. Paired with damask prints and a few vibrant color accents these cakes stand out from the rest and make a bold statement at any party.

Whatever cake design you choose, make it one that will leave you filled with joyous memories. A cake should always be a reflection of the person or people being celebrated.
