Pretty in Pink Florals

Blush was queen in 2019 when it came to the Houston wedding cake scene. We saw tons of beautiful shades of pink used in a plethora of ways, but especially when paired with delicate floral adornments. Feminine, sweet and inviting, pink and tiny blooms made quite the pairing!

Small Bites

Tiny portions reigned this year, with brides opting for unique desserts like brigadeiros and macarons in lieu of traditional cake stations. Catering followed suit, offering grazing stations to give guests multiple options and things to try. We’ll take one of each, please!

Delicate Watercolor Details

Artful and detailed, we saw delicate watercolor designs make their way onto Houston wedding cakes in 2019, taking them from simple to simply stunning. These added touches show how Houston’s cake makers aren’t just professionals when it comes to baking, but they’re truly artists, too!
