What is popular in cake and dessert designs today?
Sperl: Simple and classic. Most wedding couples want a traditional wedding cake although there are always those that want the unusual and may choose whimsical cakes, cupcakes, pastries or cheesecakes. … The brides that I work with often choose monograms, fresh flowers, cake jewelry and, sometimes, vintage toppers. A decorating technique that continues to be popular and makes a cake unique is rolled fondant. This sweet confectionary cake covering is rolled and placed over buttercream. Fondant allows us to paint, emboss, sculpt or airbrush designs that could never be accomplished with simple buttercream. WG: What flavors and fillings do you offer? Sperl: Couples seem to be spending more time choosing a cake with interesting flavors and fillings to create a memorable dessert rather than just a beautiful showpiece for their guests. We can make almost any flavor of cake and filling but some of our most popular are chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream, yellow cake with passion fruit
