Your East Midlands Wedding - February/March 2022 (Issue 48)

PATACAKE Stephanie Moore says: “Choosing a wedding cake while keeping in mind your style and budget can be overwhelming, but these top five trends for 2022 should give you some more food for thought. “Buttercream and semi-naked styles took the world by storm in 2021, and these designs are here to stay. Cakes with sharp edges, clean lines or a textured buttercream teamed up with florals make it easy to tailor cakes to any theme or colour scheme. “Flowers cascading down cakes or neatly bunched can dramatically impact any design. Whether opting for fresh florals, sugar flowers, dried blooms or even edible ones, guests won’t be able to keep their eyes off the bake. “Acrylic tiers or separators are huge trends in 2022 and allow couples to add extra height to cakes at a fraction of the cost. It also gives a magical-floating effect while being more environmentally friendly than traditional dummy/ false polystyrene tiers. “Earthy and neutral tones are taking over this year, with oaks, taupes and earthy greens taking centre stage. These hues look beautiful teamed up with pretty pastels, metallics or navy shades and will give you that insta-worthy cake. Pick out several colours and let the baker work their magic – you won’t be disappointed. “Many brides are still after traditional white cakes, and Instagram and Pinterest are full of inspiration with light and bright romantic shades. Crisp white fondant with super sharp edges, lace and white sugar flowers will give you the ultimate, timeless and romantic style.” Check out: https://patacakecakes.uk www.instagram.com/sophieatkinsphoto 44
