Your North East Wedding - January/February 2022 (Issue 48)

BIG-DAY BAKES Our experts share popular cake trends for 2022 weddings Calling all cake lovers! The year 2022 is shaping up to become an exciting and busy time for weddings. Here at Your North East Wedding, we’ve asked some of the top bakers from around the region to share hot and upcoming trends. Get ready to see some showstopping cakes with fun flavours and designs that are sure to wow your guests! REBEKAH JACKSON AND BARBARA JACKSON | SHERBERT MOON Here at Sherbert Moon, we create a huge variety of different cake designs and can bring to life any ideas. From an initial sketch to an eye-catching cake, we look forward to making your dreams a reality. A cake must taste as amazing as it looks, so we’re always dreaming up new flavours and accommodating special requests from our couples. Here are a few upcoming trends for 2022 that are becoming more popular… ❤ Marble-finished tiers can add a colourful or subtle pop to a plain tier without unsettling the delicate balance of beautiful colours. ❤ Cut out tiers with bespoke floating inserts can add a wow factor to any cake, and an extra dummy tier gives height and elegance to the design. ❤ We love our invisible tiers of Perspex, which can be filled with flowers or left empty to give the cake a floating appearance. This looks stunning and classic while adding a modern twist and is often accentuated by having square tiers – another trend we will see more of. ❤ Let’s not forget about the elegant sugar flower sprays, which always make cakes look timeless.

Marbled-effect cakes are stunning and can vary from a subtle palecoloured marble tier that transforms into a white cake, to a full-on bold design with rich dark colours and lashings of edible gold leaf. The gold pieces are another massive trend at the moment that adds a fabulous effect, which I can’t get enough of it! Dessert tables will also be trending next year and couples can style them to suit any theme. Large or small feature cakes will look amazing while offering guests a delicious choice of tasty goodies such as miniraspberry trifles, which was very popular last year. Whatever you decide on, it’s not always about following trends and fashions. Just make sure you pick something you both love. Check out: www.vanillateas.co.uk CAKES 47
