Top 5 Wedding Cake Trends For 2016 At Our Bakery

As our 2016 wedding season slows down and comes to an end, It has been fun to look back at our recent wedding cake photographs and see what types of wedding desserts we sold.  Without any doubt: naked cakes, ruffles, and cupcakes were at the top of the list this year.  We had a large demand for rustic cake stand rentals, in fact our most popular cake stand was a wood cake stand.  One of our best investments we had made all year was a large tiered cupcake stand, which helped up keep up with the demand for cupcake sales.  Dessert variety tables were also in high demand.  Couples wanted cake pops, French macarons, layered shooter cups, truffles, and mini cupcakes to be spread out on beautiful tables for wedding guests to graze on through the night.  Metallic accents were just starting to trend in the La Crosse, WI area and I predict that this trend will grow in 2017.  My predictions for 2017: cupcakes and metallic accents will continue to rise.  Naked cakes will start to decline.  Geometric and simplified geometric industrial designs will start to emerge.  Cake pops and French macarons will start to become more common as well.
