There’s something about choosing a wedding cake that is so drool-worthy. Mostly the part where you get to taste them (*as we shamelessly reach for another bite).Wedding cakes have long since departed from the limited traditional choices. Today there are choices, and a dizzy array of it. With so many, we help narrow it down to the top 5 wedding cake trends of 2016.
These 5 trends look too pretty to eat, but that won’t stop us from slicing into these awe-inspiring cakes!
Florals couldn’t be more fashionable when it comes to the world of weddings right now, and this goes for floral wedding cakes too. Delicate and requiring hours of work, they are timeless, unique and an impactful choice for any modern bride. 
Brush strokes. Hand painting is another versatile trend, lending itself to a bohemian vibe or something more luxe and elegant. This is a great way to pick up the motif of your dress or your invitations (especially if they’re also hand painted). Or try it just for the wow factor.
“Naked” cakes, which are unfrosted (or partially frosted) and simply adorned with berries or fresh flowers, are trending from coast to coast — and at both relaxed receptions and more formal affairs. This very strong trend is set to continue evolving and developing in style as the year unfolds. 
Metallics. This lustrous look is made for the modern bride but it can adapt to any style; delicate embroidery in gold feels opulent while geometric shapes give off a fresh, modern feel. If an entire tier is too much glitz for you, consider adding a little sparkle all over. Fine edible glitter (think: pixie dust) can add a decorative sheen to your cake without overpowering the whole design.
Endless alternatives to the traditional wedding cake choices are cropping up this year, including ice cream cakes, piles of pies, stacks of cheese truckles, doughnut towers and cheesecakes. This upcoming trend is for the more budget conscious or creative wedding. And who wouldn’t want to eat off a tower of doughnuts?
