Trends
How long does a cake stay “in style” and how do you keep up with the current cake trends?”
I don’t keep up with current trends. Why? Because they are merely promotional tactics by the wedding industry to try to sell a bride whatever gizmo they are promoting at that time. What’s “in style”? Whatever kind of cake the bride wants to have! Don’t listen to industry “experts” who are trying to tell you what you SHOULD want … go with your own preferences and get what you DO want. I had a cake decorator tell me that I should remove my square cakes from the website because “….square cakes are not “in”, especially the basket weave design, and brides are not ordering those.” I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I counted up and out of 19 consecutive wedding cakes, 15 were square and about half of those were basket weaves! These are REAL cakes ordered by my brides. So much for “expert” opinions!
