TEXTURE PLAY

"The layers and texture of this cake by Emily Grace Cakes for this lakeside spring wedding almost mimicked the calming waves washing along shore. There's just nothing like Minnesota in the spring when the lake thaws, the sun is shining, and it's a great day for a wedding."
- Alexandra Robyn Photo + Design

CAKE EXPERIENCES

^{Becca Dilley}
"We’re excited about cake moments guests can interact with such as topping their own piece of cake with an element like a pour-over sauce. Letting guests customize their own piece of cake in some way creates a fun memory of the evening and adds  to the cake-eating experience."
- Annie Pennings Edmond, Chowgirls Catering

RUFFLES

^{Jennifer Sanders} 
"The texture/ruffle trend on cakes is one of my favorites."
-  Chelsea Dudek, Hey There Cupcake

SIMPLE TEXTURE

"Couples are embracing the charm of vertical line texture. With the freedom to keep it sleek or adorne it with a floral backdrop, the timeless feel can fit in all wedding styles!"
- Emily Chesky, Emily Grace Cakes

FRUIT FLAVORS

"One way to bring spring into a cake is through the flavor itself! Strawberry and lemon are both spring fruits and can create exquisite cake flavors!"
- Emily Chesky, Emily Grace Cakes

BOLD COLORS & TEXTURES

^{Lucas Botz} 
"Bold color and texture can turn your cake into a work of art. Think outside the box and your cake can become a stand out decor piece at your wedding."
- Annie Pennings Edmond, Chowgirls Catering

BOWS

SHEET CAKES

"This year we're seeing personal touches, innovation, personalization and a nod to sustainability. Sheet cakes are coming. These aren't your basic costco cake! These sheet cakes can be small, or used in lieu of centerpieces, running the length of your guest table. Ruled by abstract art and sculptural floral, these sheet cakes are showstoppers. Think bold colors, unexpected shapes, and elements to challenge the conventional cake silhouette. Dahlia Bakery in Minneapolis does it best!"
- Kelly Bollis, MAVEN Events

GARDEN CAKES

^{Laura Alpizar} 
"I love building a garden around the cake, giving the cake its own moment."
- Chelsea Dudek, Hey There Cupcake

CENTER OF ATTENTION

^{Russell Heeter}
"Don’t put her in the corner. Bring your cake to the dance floor."
- Chelsea Dudek, Hey There Cupcake
