Wedding Trends

We asked David for his prediction on cake trends for 2012 and here is what he had to say. "Over the years wedding cakes have evolved considerably, and will continue to do so as the economy, services and technology continue to change. I see an increase in the demand for better quality product, more specifically, cakes overflowing with two layers of fresh fruit, imported and sometimes difficult to locate items that make a cake truly unique. at the same time I see more clients opting to use fresh flowers instead of expensive sugar flowers. In addition, I see an increase in demand for mini-cakes as orders trend away from cupcakes in order to achieve better quality and value for their money."
