Scroll through to see some of our favorite wedding cake and dessert trends from this year!

Geodes Galore

Aside from being visually stunning, we know these Houston wedding cake bakers also ROCK at making these cakes taste absolutely delicious! With marbled ombré details and shiny, hyper-realistic elements, the geode cakes of 2018 were some of our favorites.

Pops of Color

Gone are the days of the all white cake! Desserts featuring a bright pop of color have been making the rounds in local Houston weddings, and we couldn’t love them more! These designs are as whimsical as they are photogenic.

Metallic Details

Our Houston wedding cake bakers knocked it out of the park in 2018 with delightful metallic details. These shiny silver and gold elements seem almost too fancy to eat, but we’d give it a shot!
