The Bridal Cake

Multi-tiered trends   Our brides are always looking for the latest trend and 2013 is heading back towards classic, multi-tiered cakes, with taller tiers replacing the shorter, traditional tiers and decadent flavoured sponges are taking centre stage instead of the traditional fruit cake.   The taller the cake, the more extravagant it will look when being displayed, so a minimum of four tiers is a must. If there are too many servings then dummy tiers should be requested. Dummy tiers are becoming an increasingly popular way to increase the height of your cake while saving money .               www.sugarshack.co.uk     www.weddingideasmag.com     www.cakepicturegallery.com   forum.purseblog.com   www.bridallouisville.com       gottaharp.com   thepastrystudio.com   allegrophotography.com   www.flickr.com       www.theknot.com

Color: This trend is for those who want a more modern feel to their wedding. Color does not have to be garish and tacky looking and the right combinations can create a joyful cake that seems to be harmonious. Remember that many topsy turvy cakes use many different colors with no clashing effect so wedding cakes can also take advantage of this trend. Be sure to practice the color elements ahead of time to avoid creating a cake which looks like you wish and avoid disappointment.  Vibrant  cakeideas.us     cakedreamingwithdiane.wordpress.com     unicornbooty.com   weddings.craftgossip.com   www.socialbliss.com  www.siouxempireweddingnetwork.com   www.theknot.com   http://www.rentmydust.com/blog/tag/2013-wedding-trends   dulcebella2013.wordpress.com     trulyweddingblog.com ontariobakery.BlogSpot prep4wedding.com

  Vintage or Antique: Anything considered to be an heirloom look is popular in 2013 especially designs that mimic treasured wedding dresses worn by grandmothers. These vintage inspired cakes can feature lace, glittering crystal jewels and of course borders that look like pretty strings of pearls. Vintage wedding cakes can also feature delicate designs that mimic an antique teacup or vase. Glamor associated with the 30's and 40's can also be seen in this trend with all white weddings and a touch of sparkle. Pastel colors, romantic accents and a traditional feel all combine to represent continuity and long lasting love. www.cakeideasblog.com www.special-ice.co.uk maxiebs.blogspot.com justweddings101.blogspot.com bridesdream.info   cakecentral.com www.trouwstart.nl www.weddingchicks.com www.wedding-gossip.com lacomunapink.com www.tartuficakes.co.uk www.examiner.com
