3. Textured Buttercream Art
Move over, fondant! Bold brushstroke
textures, wave piping, and
monochromatic palettes bring
modern minimalism to buttercream.
4. Edible Gold Leaf & Crystals
A luxury staple. Paired with
gemstone-inspired tiers (such as
amethyst, emerald, or quartz), these
cakes are both sacred and
extravagant.
5. Painted Story Cakes
Think hand-painted vines, family
crests, or scripture verses around the
base tier, turning each cake into a
personal art piece.
6. Garden to Table
Pressed florals, fresh herbs (lavender,
rosemary), and natural dyes bring
earthy elegance. Often paired with
naked or semi-naked cakes.
7. Statement Slice Reveal
Outside? Classic. Inside? Tie-dye,
ombré, or marble. Surprise layers
wow guests and reflect fun
personalities.
