Floral wedding cakes are so versatile that they can be adapted to fit almost any wedding theme. Not only do they help to tie your wedding décor together, but a few carefully chosen blooms can also take a wedding cake from the mediocre to the magnificent. But how does the magic happen? Which floral cake designs should you choose? What goes into creating stunning floral cakes? If you are struggling to find the answers to these questions, we have Uta Hornemann, Founder of Germany-based cake boutique – Alma Pasteles. She has served at weddings all over Germany, and also at destination wedding locations such as Italy, Croatia, Austria, and Spain, and across Europe.
With over 10+ years of experience, Alma Pasteles are known for creating bespoke and luxurious cakes. They often create custom adornments for cakes, including beautiful handcrafted sugar flowers and script, carefully tailoring each design according to the client’s preferences.
Why Floral Cakes Are Trending Post COVID-19?
There’s nothing more romantic than flowers. Whether the theme is rustic chic, modern sophistication, or anything in between, floral cakes go well with all the themes adding an elegant and natural vibe. More couples are opting for eco-friendly and sustainable decor after the pandemic, and flowers rightly add the natural vibe to it. As Uta says “I think because 2020 was a rather difficult and emotional year for many of us, everything gets more meaningful. Couples now tend to add something special and glamorous to their wedding cake to give it a more sentimental touch. No matter if they cut down their wedding to an intimate celebration or they plan to go big and bold, small wedding cakes can be as boldly decorated as the tall ones. And is there anything better than to upscale a cake design with sugar flower arrangements to add the wow-effect on the cake that couples are opting for?”
What Goes Into Creating Stunning Floral Cakes?
“When it comes to handcrafted sugar flowers that go into those stunning floral designs you can clearly think of the most luxurious touch add to your wedding cake. Many hours of craftship from sugar flower specialists go into the adornments of such a wedding cake. Most of our sugar flowers are made petal by petal. Each petal is separately cut, veined, and attached by hand until a beautiful sugar flower is created. Imagine hundreds of handcrafted sugar flowers that go on a tall wedding cake. The result is spectacular!” Shares Uta.
Classic Gold & Natural Themes Will Be The Trends
It looks like for next year there are two categories of cake designs that brides and grooms will look for. One is back to classic designs like flower cascades and lots of classic roses and basic flowers. The other one is the more natural and organic way of styling the sugar flowers on the wedding cake. “The sugar flower arrangements are airier with a range of more simple flowers mixed in. We design the impressive centerpiece of your banquet table for you, tailor-made, and to match the style of your wedding. With great attention to detail, we create your dream cake with perfect craftsmanship, which will be unique and unforgettable with filigree sugar flowers and personalized decorations,” tells Uta. She also indicated that after years of rose gold attached to the sides of wedding cakes, the classic gold is slowly coming back.
Uta’s highly-personalized wedding cake designs fetched Alma Pasteles international recognition as a premium brand for specialist wedding cake services, and her cakes have since been served at weddings throughout Europe. Her designs have often been featured in international magazines and are notable for their elegant and minimalist style. Basking in the glory of excellent customer reviews, they take pride in serving their clients with utmost dedication while creating, delivering, and presenting each cake.
Uta also works closely with each client’s wedding planner, ensuring that the cake will be presented perfectly on the day. She has even produced and decorated cakes onsite at wedding venues when required.
