Top trends for 2021

According to Wilton, the following are top trends for cake decorators in 2021.

Colorful cakes certainly have their place, but nothing strikes the eye like a clean, black buttercream cake. Classy and elegant, black buttercream makes a great canvas for metallic cake paint or colorful candy decorations. The Enchanted Energy Cake, decorated with a black buttercream, is then painted with gold metallic paint. A few candy crystals really pop against the black frosting, 

Dessert Charcuterie Boards

Graze into the new year with a charcuterie board filled with all your favorite sweet treats. A popular trend for holidays and birthdays, these themed sweet boards are great for small gatherings with friends and family.

Buttercream Transfers

A time-tested method for making iconic designs, buttercream transfers are set to make a comeback in 2021. You can make letters, characters or logos using the buttercream transfer technique, but you can also create amazing cake wraps, like a Buttercream Transfer Heart Cake. No need to spatula ice this one, just pipe your buttercream design on waxed paper, freeze it, then wrap it around your cake.

Combed Cakes

Made by running a grooved icing smoother through buttercream frosting, combing your cake is a quick and easy way to add texture and style to your desserts.

Icons

Top your cakes, cupcakes, cookies and more with candy-shaped icon art. All you need is a template and candy. Simply pipe the melted candy over the template and let harden. Once set, you can place the candy icons all over your cake for quick and easy decorating.
