Top Wedding Cake Styles to Watch in 2025
As we step into 2025, the UK wedding cake scene is embracing a blend of tradition and innovation, offering couples a variety of options to suit their unique tastes and wedding themes. Here are some of the top wedding cake trends to look out for this year:
Lambeth Piping
The intricate Lambeth piping technique, created with elaborate scrolls and garlands, is making a stylish comeback. Modern interpretations feature sleek, elegant white finishes and bold colours like dramatic moody black. While traditionally done with royal icing, many cake designers are now opting for buttercream to achieve a softer look.
Texture
Texture continues to be a prominent trend, with couples favouring cakes that showcase contrasting elements. Whether through the medium or buttercream, wafer paper and royal icing. A multitude of techniques offering finishes ranging from whimsical and romantic to statement and sleek.
Bold Colours
While classic white and ivory cakes remain timeless, there’s a growing inclination towards bold-coloured cakes. These striking designs add a sense of drama and sophistication, making a memorable statement at wedding receptions.
Providing an alternative from traditional tiered structures, we will see the popularity of cakes with geometric shapes, asymmetrical tiers, and even suspended layers. Offering a dramatic and modern choice for couples looking to have their cakes stand as artwork as well as a delicious offering for their guests.
Nature-Inspired Elements
Florals have always been a popular choice for wedding cake design. This trend is now finding its way through hand painted designs, edible flowers and colour palates that reflect mother nature.
These trends reflect a desire for couples to create unforgettable, personalized, and visually stunning cakes that resonate their unique love stories. Whether you’re drawn to the elegance of Lambeth piping or the modern flair of geometric designs, 2025 offers a plethora of options to make your wedding cake a true centerpiece of your celebration.
