Your wedding cake is a prime opportunity to tap into your creative side and enhance your wedding decor.
Wedding cakes have come a long way from dried fruit and royal icing.
Couples now have endless options, flavours and designs to choose.
Some cakes are so spectacular they are almost entire works of art, with intricate sugar flowers, sculpted buttercream and even cut into geometrical shapes.
Wedding cakes and the latest trends in their design are now a big part of the theme of a wedding - be that with the colours, botanicals or a cake that expresses a shared interest.
Just about anything can inspire your wedding cake design. But if you're having trouble feeling inspired, check out our favourite 2019 wedding cake trends that are as gorgeous as they are delicious.

One-tiered cakes
The great thing about this trend is it's a more affordable way to have multiple cakes of different styles and different flavours without an overwhelming cake display. Or go simple and stick with one elegant tier.
Decoration and taste
It's all about the decoration, while naked cakes and botanicals are still in, iced cakes are making a comeback incorporating the use of colours, gold leaf and lace.
Pick a baker that gets your style, social media and Pinterest are great ways to gather ideas but make sure you ask for photos of previous work so you can get the look just right.
Your cake should be both beautiful and delicious: Don't choose flavours you think everyone will like, select the flavours you like.
Remember, it's your wedding, and this is your cake. Taste is super important. You want a cake that looks just as good as it tastes.
Why go with vanilla, chocolate or red velvet when there are praline and hazelnut cakes accented with chocolate mousse and a drizzle of caramel to consider?
Doughnuts
First, we had cupcakes, and now it's doughnuts, you can even order them from your local Krispy Kreme.
There have been lots of creative ways to present these, but I like the idea of a doughnut wall, and it's the perfect after meal sweet snack.
Cheese 'cakes'
If cakes are not your style, don't feel pressured to stick to tradition. New season trends this year include wheels of cheese.
A perfect alternative for a couple who aren't super keen on sweets. Plus, the fruit atop the cheese is perfect to eat alongside your post-dinner fromage!
Top it off
Complement the design of your cake with a unique topper that shows off your personality.
Whether it's a laser cut quote or edible figures, make sure it represents you as a couple and have fun with it.
