We’re showing off the 15 sweetest wedding cake trends that are going to be big in 2017. Hold on to your candles!

1. Marbled

These cakes look like stone, but taste like heaven. Marbled cakes scream elegance and we are in LOVE.

2. Geode

We cannot get enough of these Pinterest-worthy geode cakes. It just doesn’t get any cooler than a colorful (and edible) mineral rock formation to split your cake.

3. Metallic

Shiny metallic additions make for the most glitzy and luxe-looking cake. If you’re planning on gold or silver making an appearance in your color scheme, we highly suggest a touch of metal in your cake!

4. Two-Tier

We love how sweet and delicate the two-tiered look is. More and more brides are featuring smaller cakes with a dessert bar, or multiple two-tiered cakes to mix up flavors and design.

5. Watercolor

Literally add a splash of color to your cake with watercolor. The look is a subtle yet stunning take on a traditional white cake.

6. Rustic

We know rustic is #trending as hard as chokers right now, so obviously we had to include some woodsy-inspired cakes on our list.

7. Monogram

Incorporate you and your new husband’s initials for the sweetest cake! There are tons of ways this can be done for every style cake. Two of our favorites are painted, and cut out from fondant.

8. Macaron Cakes

This has to be the most chic and trendy alternative to a wedding cake. If you’re opting for a dessert table in place of a traditional high-tiered cake, you pretty much have to include a macaron cake.

9. Square

While square cakes have been around for almost as long as their rounded-counterparts, we’ve recently been seeing some crazy-cute square inspo.

10. Naked

No need to be bashful. This cake bears all in place of the traditional buttercream frosting or fondant. Multiple layers create the most gorgeous and showy-offy look.

11. Ruffled

Can a cake get any more cute and feminine? We don’t know if it’s possible, but these tulle-inspired ruffled cakes are pulling at our heartstrings.

12. Stained Glass

If you’re looking for stunning color and detail, a stained glass cake may be calling your name. Different colors and styles can work with any wedding scheme and vibe.
