4 wedding cake trends for 2026 that you absolutely must adopt

Tiramisu wedding cakes

Tiramisu, reimagined as a wedding cake, is one of the biggest trends of the moment. This famous Italian dessert is now popular in a large format, perfect for sharing at a reception.

Served as a large dessert to be cut into slices or presented as the centerpiece of a dessert buffet, tiramisu offers a modern and shareable alternative to the traditional wedding cake.

Both indulgent and elegant, this reinterpretation adds an original touch to the reception and pleasantly surprises guests. It is the perfect option for couples looking for something different while still serving a classic that everyone will enjoy.

Did you know that you can also make a Tiramisu cake with products from FunCakes? With the FunCakes Mix For Sponge Cake Deluxe you can easily make fresh lady fingers and with Tiramisu Flavour Paste you can add amazing flavours to the buttercream.

Floral wedding cakes

Flowers have long been a staple of wedding cakes, and they remain as popular as ever in 2026. Elegant and timeless, they instantly add a romantic touch to any design.

Whether fresh, dried or sugar flowers, they offer endless possibilities for personalising a cake and matching it to the wedding theme. Delicately arranged on one or more tiers, they transform the cake into a true centerpiece, perfect for an elegant and refined celebration.

You can easily recreate this look with FunCakes products. The FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake  is a very versatile baking mix that works perfectly as the base for many different cakes.

Combine it with FunCakes Mix for Buttercream  and decorate your creation with elegant edible flowers such as the FunCakes Edible Wafer Flowers Deluxe for a romantic and refined finish.

Vintage Lambeth wedding cakes

Vintage wedding cakes, also known as Lambeth cakes, are making a comeback in the baking world and remain a major trend for the wedding season.

Inspired by cakes from the 1950s and 1960s, these elegant creations are distinguished by their intricate buttercream details: decorative borders, delicate garlands and piped embellishments. Pastel colours, such as pale pink or aqua green, perfectly complement this romantic style.

With their refined decorating techniques and retro charm, these cakes are a timeless centrepiece for an elegant wedding.

Creating this vintage cake style is easier with the right baking and decorating tools. Decorate the cake with elegant piping using FunCakes Mix for Swiss Meringue Buttercream .

Classic Lambeth decorations can easily be achieved using piping tips such as the Wilton #4B or #022 Open Star, while a mould like the PME Deep Heart Cake Pan helps create a romantic vintage shape.

Finish the design with delicate details such as FunCakes Sugar Decorations Flower  for a beautiful retro-inspired wedding cake.

Textured wedding cakes

Wedding cakes with textured finishes continue to be popular with couples looking for a natural and authentic style. Inspired by naked cakes, these creations highlight visible textures and a more artisanal look.

Buttercream applied with a spatula, delicate reliefs or slightly visible layers add character to the cake while remaining elegant.

Combined with soft, natural colours, these finishes are perfect for country, bohemian or rustic weddings, where simplicity and elegance go hand in hand.

With the right ingredients and tools, achieving this textured finish is easier than you might think.

Use the FunCakes Mix for Enchanted Cream to create soft and light textures, then shape the finish with tools such as the Wilton Decorator Preferred Angled Spatula or the PME Side Scraper Tall to achieve the characteristic textured look.

Complete the design with subtle details like FunCakes Snow Sugar for a delicate and elegant finish.
