love story.
Embracing Minimalism
Sometimes, less is more. One of the rising trends in wedding cake decoration is the use of minimalist design. Clean lines, simple colour palettes, and understated
adornments create an elegant and timeless effect. Using a smooth fondant or buttercream finish and accentuating it with a single floral arrangement or a delicate monogram can result in a cake that’s chic and modern. CakeFlix’s tutorials guide you in perfecting this minimalist approach, focusing on the precision and restraint necessary to make simplicity shine.
Textured Techniques
On the opposite end of the spectrum, textured cakes are also gaining popularity. Techniques such as ruffles, rosettes, or a rustic semi-naked finish can add depth and interest to your cake. Our expert CakeFlix tutors can help you master these techniques, showing you how to apply each textural element with a controlled hand for a balanced, aesthetically pleasing result.

Metallic Accents
Adding metallic accents is a fantastic way to bring a touch of opulence to your wedding cake. Edible gold or silver leaf, metallic luster dust, or sugar pearls can turn a simple cake into a striking masterpiece. CakeFlix’s courses offer in-depth instruction on how to handle and apply these delicate materials to create a radiant, luxurious effect.
Sugar Florals
There’s a timeless romance associated with flowers, making them a favourite choice for wedding cake decorations. However, we’re not just talking about fresh flowers. Handcrafted sugar flowers are a wonderful way to add a personal touch to your cake. They can be created in any shape, size, or colour, and unlike fresh flowers, they last forever as a keepsake. CakeFlix offers comprehensive tutorials on crafting realistic sugar roses, peonies, lilies, and more.
Painted Cakes
Hand-painted cakes allow for truly unique and personalized designs. Whether it’s a delicate floral pattern, an intricate lace design, or a scene that holds significance to the couple, painting on cakes adds a level of customization that’s hard to beat.

Gravity-Defying Designs
For those looking to make a bold statement, gravity-defying cakes offer a way to truly wow your guests. These designs seem to defy the laws of physics, with cake tiers suspended mid-air or elements that appear to be floating. Mastering these designs requires a good understanding of cake construction and support, which CakeFlix’s advanced courses provide in detail.
Personalized Toppers
Cake toppers are an excellent way to add a personal touch to your wedding cake. From monograms and figurines to representative symbols of your love story, a unique topper can make your cake truly yours. CakeFlix offers tutorials on how to create a range of toppers using fondant, gum paste, or even non-edible materials.
