It’s that time of the year again! Yup, it’s the wedding season. Weddings are a joyous time for the family and friends of the bride and groom. But the planning is pretty overwhelming, TBH. While you plan out all the obvious things like outfits and decor, you forget the equally important but easy-to-miss parts of this day. One of them is the wedding cake. It’s a really significant part, but people end up keeping it at the bottom of their wedding to-do list. The cake is got to be beautiful, and in sync with the theme of the wedding. Here are the wedding cake trends of 2018 that every couple planning their wedding should consider. So, let’s get right to it!

1. Naked Cakes

These cakes basically do not have the outer layer of frosting that usually covers the cake inside. So, you can see the different layers and fillings of the cake. It’s really minimalistic and beautiful.

2. Chandelier Cakes

This is a very new and unique trend. Chandelier cakes are basically defying gravity as they are pretty much upside down in terms of the tiers. If you’re an experimental couple, try this out!

3. Handpainted Cakes

These are for those artistic couples who like pretty floral designs and focus on details. These cakes are handpainted by the maker to give it an artsy look.

4. Metallic Cakes

A really common but equally stunning design. These cakes are covered with edible metal detailing that gives it a very luxurious and royal feel.

5. Celestial Cakes

For every astro-lover out there, these cakes are perfect! These cakes are darker and are galaxy-themed cakes.

6. White-On-White Cakes

Absolutely classic and minimalistic. These cakes are elegant to the T. If you’re the basic kinda couple, we suggest you give this a shot.

7. Ombré Cakes

If done well, these can look so gorgeous! Ombre cakes are usually opted by couples who want their cakes to be somewhat of a conversation piece.

8. Dripping Cakes

Another popular cake trend this year is the dripping cakes. These cakes give the illusion of the frosting dripping from the cake, even though it’s actually done intentionally.
