This one seems a bit unusual but we have to admit we've fallen head over heels for this trend. In stark contrast to the pretty pastels, feminine flowers and smooth textures, the new rock and stone-inspired cakes will definitely give your wedding a serious edge and provide a very different centrepiece for your guests to gaze upon.
Rocks and stones don't spring to mind as the most attractive things to add to your wedding, but don't think of what you'd find in your garden. Think about precious stones, raw, crystalised rocks and stunning geodes.
We've already looked at awe-inspiring dark cakes and this trend takes it to the next level. Stone-coloured cakes are stunning, especially when your chosen rock is deep teal or strong emerald. Gone are the days when your cake had to be winter white, or pale pastel, dare to be dark with these beauties.
We love ombre cakes, hand-designs and faded water colours, and thankfully, you don't have to lose out on these designs when it comes to this rock solid cake trend. The naturally occurring tonal changes in precious stones and stunning agate leaves plenty of options for your cake. The marble effect on these cakes is nothing short of spectacular and it certainly brings an element of elegance and indulgence to your wedding.
Of course, while we're loving the dark colours in these cakes, you certainly don't have to steer clear of bright colours. You can have your cake, and eat it too, so to speak. Light grey marble cakes are just as beautiful.
You can make your rock-inspired cake even more unique by decorating it with the stones themselves that inspired your stunning design. Add small crystals like rose quartz or amethyst to each tier of your cake to really show off its design.
