Sumptuous Simplicity
Many couples are opting for simplicity these days, placing less emphasis on the extravagance of the cake and more on other wedding necessities. A great example is the simple cheesecake to the left. The cake is, by no means, elaborate but the stunning cake toppers perched on the side make it just as special and memorable to guests.

Charming Cupcakes
Continuing down the road to simplicity, brides and their grooms are more often turning to cupcakes to make their wedding celebrations more streamlined when it comes to cake distribution but, more importantly, more cost effective. We think they’re cute and, with colour coded patty pans, they can be a great addition to your big day. Why not match the colours to your bridesmaid’s dresses for a beautiful uniformity and an artistic pop?

Disney CakesMagical Motifs
While some may prefer to keep their wedding focussed on them, others are turning to fictional characters as inspiration for their big day! With themed wedding cakes popping up based around Disney princes and princesses, DC and Marvel Comics and characters from other books and movies, like Harry Potter, The Great Gatsby and Alice In Wonderland, this trend may be bold but it’s certainly sticking!
