Cakes have marked milestones for many generations. They have evolved over the decades and have stood the test of time as a symbol of love and giving. A cake can give any occasion a festive flair with its impeccable versatility.

However, finding the perfect cake is often tedious. A new trend fleets past social media every moment of the day and it is toilsome to keep up with them.

We’ve compiled a list of some of the trendiest designs 2023 has seen to help you find your perfect cake. 

Minimalist Cakes

In cake designs, minimalism is a unique and time-tested method. Unlike traditional cakes, this one is understated, which makes it stand out. The cakes are usually dressed only in icing and are minimally embellished and this demeanour makes it easy on the eye. You can tailor the shapes, colors, and flavors according to the occasion.

An unusually shaped cake with a bold smudge speaks volumes.  Gradient ombre effects could be used to achieve a more austere effect. It's especially beautiful at a classy, color-themed event where you'd rather let the cake speak for itself. Consider blending several pastel colors if one is too stark for you. Toujours’ Rainbow Minimalist Cakes with a subtle splash of color adds elegance and class to any social gathering.

Hand-Painted Cakes

Hand-painted cakes are as artistic and creative as the person who painted them; imagination is their limit. It transcends pastels and splodgy hues to portray floral still-lifes and elaborate expressions. In the past, hand painting on cakes was relegated only to fondant canvases but now extends to buttercream, whipped cream and cream cheese frostings.

The watercolor cake is one of the classic hand-painted cakes. As is, it looks stunning and can be used as a base for any kind of cake design. Toujours' Watercolor Rose Cake is the perfect example of this. A modern twist on the classics is the textured art cake and the monochromatic ombre ruffle cake. The fun yet elegant design makes for a good show stopper at social events. 

Bohemian Aesthetic

Bohemian-inspired cakes are an effortless way of adding class to an event. They use a palette of earthy tones and hues to create a refined, cultivated ardor for a social event. The naked sponge cake is a vogue take on this aesthetic. The traditional recipe calls for Victorian sponge cake, covered in little to no frosting on the sides.

A woven textured cake deviates from the naked sponge cake. It accentuates elegance and makes a confident statement piece. Its unconventional texture is credited to intricate icing designs on the exterior of the cake and makes an aesthetic ground for minimal cake decor.

Pinata Cakes

The possibilities are endless when it comes to pinata cakes. It has a solidified chocolate exterior and can be customized to fit any occasion and can hold within it anything you desire- cakes, cupcakes, cookies, greeting cards, and gifts. This is a fantastic way to impress someone you care about and smashing a cake provides a much more memorable cutting ceremony.
