THE SWEETEST thing Delicious cake trends Nowadays, a cake is more than just something sweet to eat, it’s a work of art that can tie the whole day together. To help narrow down your choice, we chatted to some of the region’s finest cake makers and asked for their trend predictions. “Quirky colourful and out-of-the-box cakes will be popular this year. Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Very Peri, will work its way into designs whether it’s in the icing, through textured ribbons or various edible pieces.” – Shenaz from Lake Thomas Cakes. www.ltcakes.co.uk “A popular flavour for summer weddings is lemon and blueberry.” – Laura from Laura’s Pantry. www.lauraspantry.co.uk and www.laurencephotography.co.uk “Classic flavours never get boring, so vanilla with strawberry jam and chocolate are going to continue to be popular.” – Laura Yearwood from Laura’s Pantry. www.lauraspantry.co.uk and www.dandjphotography.co.uk “Due to all the uncertainty over the last couple of years, so many couples are ready to splash out a bit more on their cake, especially as most have had to postpone multiple times! A wow factor design of four or five tiers decorated in gold drops and ruffles is going to be big in 2022.” – Nina Rogers from Cakes by Nina. www.cakesbyninaweddings.com “Tall cakes continue to be on-trend and can cater for more people than you might think, so there isn’t as much wastage.” – Shenaz Lake-Thomas from Lake Thomas Cakes. www.ltcakes.co.uk CAKES 55
