At Stentons Cakes, we go above and beyond to create the perfect wedding cake for your big day. From design to cost to delivery, we’re here to make the process seamless and fun.

Custom Wedding Cake Trends You Should Know

While traditional wedding cakes remain popular, brides are increasingly choosing custom designs that reflect their individuality. Here are some of the latest trends:

Colourful Cakes Break Tradition

White cakes once symbolised purity, but now colour adds flair and personality. Some current favourites:

• Black wedding cakes – Elegant and bold, perfect for black-tie weddings.

• Striped cakes – Black and white or colourful stripes for a structured, eye-catching look.

• Blue cakes – From soft pastels to navy, perfect if you want something unique.

• Grey cakes – Works beautifully as a neutral backdrop for vibrant flowers or bridesmaids’ dresses.

• 
  

Metallic Cakes Shine

Metallic cakes bring sophistication to any wedding:

• Gold or silver leaf – Can cover the entire cake or accent individual tiers.

• Gold-dipped designs – Add a touch of luxury with swirling lines or small gold layers between tiers.

• 
  

Fun and Sassy Designs

Not all weddings are formal - some brides want a cake as playful as their personality:

• Polka-dotted cakes – Multi-coloured dots cascading down tiers.

• Sprinkle cakes – Perfect for casual weddings; use sprinkles on one layer, all layers, or just the bottom.

At Stentons Cakes, you’re the boss. We help you create the wedding cake of your dreams, from size and texture to colours and special touches.

Wedding Cake Tips for Gold Coast Brides

Choosing the right cake should be part of the fun of wedding planning. Keep these tips in mind:

1. Choose your venue first – Outdoor weddings may require sturdier icing, like fondant.

2. Ask for recommendations – Friends’ suggestions and reviews help find a trusted baker.

3. Prepare details ahead – Know guest numbers, budget, and essential design elements.

4. Consider flavours – From classic Belgian chocolate to red velvet, hazelnut, or caramel, taste-testing is a must.

5. Be flexible with decorations – Sugar flowers are beautiful but pricey; real flowers can be an appealing alternative.
