10 Wedding Cake Trends That Will Define 2025

A shift is underway. According to Bangkok-based SNP Cake Atelier, classic white cakes are giving way to bold, solid colours that still maintain a timeless sensibility. These designs offer couples a fresh take on tradition, modern yet refined.

Form is becoming just as important as flavour. SNP Cake Atelier notes a rise in sculptural shapes for 2025, with domed forms standing out as a favourite. These rounded designs offer something visually distinct while still feeling grounded in classic celebration.

While berries remain popular, SNP predicts a resurgence of decadent, seasonal fruit toppings. Dark red cherries, figs, and sugar-coated winter fruits will bring depth and colour, elevating decoration into something both aesthetic and seasonal.

A house specialty at SNP Cake Atelier is buttercream decoration used not as filler, but as form. Paired with their bespoke flavour profiles, each buttercream finish reflects the couple’s unique vision and creates an actual centrepiece moment.

One of Emily’s favourite 2025 trends? The private cake moment. “While it’s always nice to share the day with your loved one, I think sometimes it’s so special for the bride and groom to have something sacred for their special day,” she says. Mini cakes made just for two are beautiful, meaningful, and intimate.
