• Boxy cakes are quite on trend right now, which make it more stable if it's a multiple layer cake as well as easier to eat and cut into. Normally these types of cakes are specially made by a baker's shop and wrapped in a fondant.
• Pleats aren't just for the bridesmaids dresses any longer. They can also be incorporated into the design of the wedding cake, instantly adding some chic and modern flair.
