Normally, couples ask the wedding planner, for a classical wedding cake. These multi layer cakes are coated with sugar paste, elegant decorations and they reflect the main colour of the wedding.
But, over recent years, trends seem to have changed. Attention is now not devoted to the aesthetics of the cake so much as the genuineness and naturalness of the cake itself.
Newlyweds love to offer their guests wedding cakes that evoke an authentic taste of the past. Grandmother ’s cakes, expertly decorated with sugar paste and floral motifs, are now the new star, in the world of wedding planning.
Wedding cheese cakes stand out and they are often biological or even vegan. The purpose is to offer a mouthwatering product, but respectful to the food choices of everybody. Inclusiveness and surprise are therefore the key words for trends in 2021 in the wedding world.
Let’s not forget traditional fruit tarts, which are very fresh and naturally sweet to give a summer touch to every wedding.
What are the trends in 2021 regarding the aesthetic of wedding cakes? Cake tops are often reduced to a single and large layer, so there is enough for all the guests.

The desire for naturalness and a love for the environment have lead many couples to opt for decorations with real flowers, for an elegant and fresh touch on your wedding cake.
There are even those who go all out and add a touch of gold to their wedding cake, for a chic and refined effect.
