Thanks to our Twitter friends Astrid and Rene Photography for the below blog post on 2009 Wedding Cake Trends!

I did some research as well and found some of the trends that are a buzz right now for cakes for 2009. There seems to be a varied consensus as to what trends are hot for this year. I am going to list the links I found further down below, which should help any brides out there who are still making cake decisions. The ones that stood out the most to me where:

• Mixing shapes like hexagonal and square cakes
• Parisian chic cakes using black, white or monochrome colors, and taking lace designs right off your gown or the runway
• Cupcakes! Yeah, but not round this year! Any other shape is in now. Think square, or diamond or hexagonal!
• Acid and bright colors such as green, hot pink and tangerine
• 3D cakes! Jessica Claire had an awesome Rubik’s cube cake made for Chenin Boutwell’s baby shower!
• Dummy cakes! Have a beautiful small top tier made and then use dummy sheets for guests. Save that money and spend it on GREAT photography or a down payment on a house!
