So I need to confess something. I have a slight obsession with gold cake. That probably sounds very strange, but once you see these phenomenal cakes, you’ll completely understand what I’m talking about.

Gold cakes are definitely the new trend in wedding desserts, and no, before you ask, they are not made from solid gold, although some cakes are dusted with 24 Karat gold leaf.* I wonder what that tastes like.

Check out this new trend below, and see if you become as fanatical as I am:

*Crown jewels not included.

Even if gold cakes aren’t your style, at Essence of Events, LLC we would still be happy to talk about what kind of cake, dessert, food, or other wedding ideas you have in mind. To set up your free, one hour initial consultation, email us at contact@essenceofevents.com or call us at 253.292.1482

Non-traditional, traditional wedding cakes. There’s a tongue twister for ya. It seems as if lately people have been forgetting the traditional wedding cakes, and instead have been going in the direction of cupcakes or cake pops. But there is something nice about a wedding cake; the layers, the cutting, and all the cohesiveness of one cake.

Traditional wedding cakes had been forgotten there for a couple of years, but slowly they are making their way back into wedding receptions again, but this time they aren’t the cakes of your parent’s days. No. These cakes are ultra-chic, super cool, and totally modern.

No more, three-tiered, boring, whatever. Prepared to be amazed, shocked, and awed! Cake pop, what?
