CAKES 63 Oh, go on then! Discover what’s hot for 2023 in the wonderful world of wedding cakes IMPRESSIONIST INSPIRATION Floriana from Let Them Eat Cakes says, “This year is seeing a greater emphasis on messier and organic artful styles. I’m seeing more perfectly imperfect-looking cakes, incorporating buttercream palette painting and sculptured flowers. Think of them as edible impressionist works of art that guests can admire throughout the day before indulging in the deliciousness – the perfect combination of visuals and flavours.” FLORAL FUN Greta from Gauer Sugarcraft says, “I’ve noticed a continuous increase in requests for sugar flowers in 2023. These can be designed in many different shapes, colours and styles, from traditional roses to the most exotic varieties in order to match different cake styles. Traditional wedding cakes with an emphasis on floral decoration and textures have enchanted a great number of couples.” Claudia from Purple Flour too is receiving a lot of requests for floral designs, “I’m seeing a lot of sugar flowers and edible pressed, organic flowers in gorgeous, vibrant colours on my sketch pad, more so than in previous seasons.” FULL CIRCLE Claudia from Purple Flour says, “Where the last couple of years have been dominated by semi-naked and fully buttercream covered cakes, I’m seeing a shift towards wedding cake tiers covered in white chocolate ganache and sugar paste again. These are more stable in warmer weather than buttercream, and my recommendation to couples, Purple Flour | © www.pennyyoungphotography.com Gauer Sugarcraft Let Them Eat Cakes Purple Flour | © www.pennyyoungphotography.com Bluebell Kitchen | © www.fionakellyphotography.com
