It’s only a couple more months until summer and spring 2009, and you still have time to adjust your wedding cake’s design and style to match what’s in this season. Wedding trends of spring and summer 2009 feature whimsical and classical elements from the 1920’s to the 1960’s, and this is the year to stand out in aquamarine, pastel blue, lemon, and lilac colors. Spring and summer weddings are perfect for fluffy sponge cakes and fruity icing. Complement them with one of these fresh trends of the new year, and your wedding cake will be perfect for the season.

Hexagons and Squares

Square-shaped or hexagonal tiered cakes are a refreshing new take to the classic circular wedding cake design, and the stacked shaped make your wedding cake impressive enough to stand alone as a centerpiece. Geometric embellishments also make for a cake that people will remember forever.

Decadent designs

These days, wedding cakes are inspired by the intricate details of wedding dress designs. Lace-style decorations, monochromatic colors, and white fondant icing topped with black or dark brown patterns are the perfect way to show off your sense of culture and style.

Blues and greens

Another popular color scheme for 2009 weddings are turquoise, aqua, blues, and greens. Have your wedding cake capture these cheerful hues, especially for the summer. Have a cake made with a tropical theme in mind, get aquamarine as your base color, and complement it with silver, lilac, or white.

Cupcake towers

The trend of having a tower of cupcakes instead of a tiered wedding cake will still be hot in 2009. But instead of round cupcakes, cupcakes this year will come in geometric shapes (refer to the first trend)!
