Keep scrolling for a look at some cake trends you need to try for your next celebration!

Bejewelled Gemstone Cakes

When Kylie Jenner posted a photo of her birthday cake studded with dollops of cream and vibrant gemstones, we knew this cake trend would take the spotlight in no time. More is more with these stunning bedazzled gemstone cakes! These statement cakes are covered in decorative jewels, rhinestones and colourful gemstones for a glamorous finish that’s perfect for birthdays, milestone celebrations or anyone who believes a cake should sparkle as much as they do.

Baby Photo Bento Glow-Up Cakes

A little nostalgia makes any birthday sweeter. The baby photo bento cake trend features an edible print of your favourite childhood photo, often paired with cute details like party hats, hand-piped doodles and playful lettering. Sized perfectly for smaller, more intimate celebrations at home, the office or school, they’re a fun way to show off your glow-up while looking back at your younger self!

Berries Loaded Cakes

This cake trend features elegant buttercream cakes generously adorned with your favourite fresh berries! Think strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, with cherries making an appearance in some designs too. Whether piled high or arranged in a more delicate pattern, berry cakes bring a fresh, colourful touch and an added juicy indulgence to any celebration.

Vintage Angel and Art Inspired Cakes

For those who love a little extra elegance, the vintage angel and art cake trend brings Renaissance and Rococo-inspired details to the dessert table. Extravagant hand-piped buttercream swirls and florals, ornate detailing and muted shades of cream, grey and gold come together to form cakes that look more like art than dessert! Finished with handcrafted fondant angel toppers or art piece edible prints, these cakes are great for themed celebrations.

Ruffle Domed Ribbon Cakes

Minimalist but far from ordinary, the ruffle domed ribbon cake trend is all about the details. The dome-shaped cake creates a clean, sculptural silhouette, decorated with delicate hand-piped ruffles and ribbons for a soft, romantic touch. Customisable in many ways and versatile to suit any type of celebration, it’s a beautiful choice for anyone who loves understated cakes with a little something extra.

Wafer Paper Geometric Cakes

Light, delicate and wonderfully whimsical, wafer paper geometric cakes are bringing a whole new look to cakes! Sculptural wafer paper elements create elegant structural details that pair beautifully with fresh florals, ribbons or other delicate accents. These standout cakes are the perfect elegant centrepiece for any bridal shower, wedding reception, birthday party and more.
