“We will see an increase in more natural hues, such as earthy pinks, creams and browns, instead of ivory. For those who crave more pomp and flair, I think we will see rich blues and pastel shades of purples. With lavender being voted colour of the year for 2023, I expect to see aspects of it everywhere. As for embellishments, I think pearls will begin to make a bit of a comeback, or maybe that’s just wishful thinking.” – Rachael from Lone Wolf Bakery. www.lonewolfbakery.co.uk and www.orangeivyphotography.com “Stencilling and gold leaf will continue to be popular in 2023. I don’t think we will see as many drip cakes next year, and the main focus will be on different textures.” – Amber from Love At First Bite by Amber. “Buttercream is being used in more versatile ways, such as floral designs made with a palette knife. We will be seeing more edible mediums, like lace made from wafer paper, and more daring designs.” – Katey from Cakes by Katey. www.facebook.com/kateymelici www.facebook.com/loveatfirstbitebyamber “Bigger cakes are also on the scene, with most couples going for at least three tiers and choosing to have it as a focal point for their day. Previously, cakes were shoved in a dark corner, however nowadays, with much credit given to social media, couples are presenting their cake in a more appealing way, whether that be with a floral display, a neon light backdrop or just some simple styling.” – Daljeet from At Home Bakes. www.athomebakes.co.uk 50
