Wedding Cake Trends 2010

I frequently get asked, "What are the new trends in wedding cakes?"  I don't think that I am the person to answer that question, the best answer comes from the wonderful, creative and fun couples who come in with their ideas for their wedding.  Here are some examples of some fun trends coming up this season:

Color!  Fun new colors, like Faith's vintage turquoise and coral cake at Lola's, Kirsten & Lucas' spring green and gray cake at the Aerie, Stephanie's yellow sunflower cake with purple accents and Teresa's cake with black geometric bands with orange, green and black flowers.

Pink!  I personally have missed pink, and not the bright scream at me pink, but the lovely, soft traditional pink.  Pink is going to be the featured color on cakes for Erica & Andrew at Weatherford's, as an accent on Katie & Michaels cake at St James, and used with raspberry for Ami & Matt's outdoor wedding.

Black & White!  Beautiful black and white, but done in a variety of ways and with new accents.  From Dawnelle & Blake's elegant mad hatter & rhinestones, Dana & Jason's ivory & black with bows & crystal accents to Melissa & Matt's black & white accented with a beautiful french blue ribbon.

Personalized!  Cakes that capture the spirit and fun of the couples.  Like Kristle & Jame's elegant fall themed cake at the Governor Hotel....with their cat, Amber, peeking over the top.  Or, Hannah and her Coast Guard groom's ocean themed cake  in Newport complete with waves, anchors and the works.  Or, Samantha's gorgeous blue & white cake with orange accents and a top tier that is shaped like a cupcake because that's how her fiance proposed!

So the next time you wonder where the new trends are coming from, look at your own ideas, imagination and creativity because it's probably from you!
