Wedding Cake Trends 2011
 
Black & White
While classic white wedding cakes adorned with beautiful flowers are a common sight, give your cake some hues of black as well for a change. Get your cake festooned with black felt colored buttons, flowers, ribbons, and bows for a very sophisticated yet hippie look, refreshing the oldie golden years of yesterday. Have them flavored with coconut, white chocolate, black chocolate, black coffee, fondant, and topped with sugarpaste flowers. 
 
Modern Art
If you love colors, then cakes flaunting modern art should be your pick. A blend of different colors, patterns and textures creating various designs would be a hot favorite in the year 2011. Let your guests keep guessing the theme of the cake and what it actually portrays. They sure will have a nice time doing so.
 
Traditional With A Hint Of Contemporary
In case you are one of those who love traditions and cultures, ask your baker to bake a traditional cake, but with a touch of contemporariness. After all, you are marrying in the modern world, then why should the cake be an entirely old-fashioned one. Have plainer, square-shaped cakes with delicate decorations. Get them twisted to sharper angles rather than the customary smoother, rounded look. For a vintage touch, use gold decorative accessories. 
 
Monumental Structures
France, Italy, Maldives, Goa, Switzerland or Mauritius, you have a reason to celebrate your love. Then why not bring them down to your wedding cake just before you fly off to your honeymoon destination. Be it Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Taj Mahal, Potala Palace, Statue of Liberty, or Sphinx of Giza, you have numerous options to get your wedding cake designed to start your new life.
 
Nature's Galore
Love the nature? Then why leave it in the background? Bring the magnificent scenic views onto your wedding cake to leave your guests spellbound and mouth-opened. Have your wedding cake shaped into trees or mountains with highlights of rivers, ponds, birds, animals, gardens, and reptiles. Use accessories like fountains, sprinklers, swings, bird houses, and benches to add to your picturesque nature cake.
