New fashion trends in the field of wedding confectionery art appear every year. The samples amaze with their beauty and uniqueness. But a wedding only happens once in a lifetime. And I really want to bring many ideas to life.
If it is customary for a family to celebrate wedding anniversaries every year, there is a great opportunity to do this, and always stay on trend.
The main thing is to follow how fashion in wedding cooking changes and choose the decor that best suits the theme of the holiday.
Among the latest trends, there are many options that fit perfectly into the crystal wedding theme. Let's look at the most interesting ones.
Monochrome white wedding cakes are a celebration of tenderness.
White on white – what could be more beautiful and mysterious. You can decorate the white base with petals, feathers, patterns, and stucco.
No bright spots or intricate decorations. Everything is simple and transparent, but at the same time sophisticated and mysterious, just like the relationship of a couple celebrating a glass anniversary.
Cake with jagged edges.
No, these are not ruffles or voluminous lace in the form of a multi-layered skirt, but rather an uneven edge that ends an absolutely flat surface.
Making such a work of art is not easy. If the pastry chef is not experienced with this technique, the dessert can become sloppy or vulgar.
Dessert with big flowers. Usually a smooth cake is decorated with a huge flower.
It looks very sophisticated, and you can make it yourself, without the help of a confectioner. By the way, ready-made mastic flowers can be ordered online or from craftsmen.
Cake with crystals or minerals.
Since natural crystal is a semi-precious mineral, this trend fits perfectly into the theme of a crystal wedding. But the technique for making such a treat is quite complex, so you will have to find a pastry chef in advance and get acquainted with samples of his work.
This dessert looks unusual and mysterious, as if the inside of the cake is filled with crystals. Rest assured, most of your guests have never seen such a wedding miracle before.
And the most widespread trend is the “naked” cake. This dessert simply does not have a top coating of mastic, glaze or cream. The cakes are in plain sight, so they must have an ideal shape.
Half-naked cakes, where the biscuits are only partially decorated with icing, are also gaining popularity. Compositions of fresh berries, fruits, and flowers are most often used as decoration.
From the same category are open rustic cakes or closed pies with fruit and berry filling.
Any housewife, even the slightest familiar with the basics of baking, can make such a treat. Therefore, if you need to choose a cheap dessert option or are planning a holiday with your family, you can choose this option.
Mini cakes have been trending for several years now. In fact, these are portioned cakes or cupcakes.
This is ideal for a wedding anniversary. After all, when making such treats, you can use various fillings and decorations. And it’s very convenient to treat guests to portioned desserts. Separately, you can prepare packaging so that guests can take dessert with them if they wish.
When choosing cake decor for a crystal wedding, do not forget that the main thing in the treat is not so much the decoration as the taste. Therefore, pay special attention to this aspect.
If you order a cake from a pastry chef, be sure to pre-order a tasting set so that the finished dessert at the holiday does not disappoint with its taste.
For those who decide to bake dessert themselves, we have prepared classic recipes for holiday cakes.
