Even Julia Child said “A party without a cake is just a meeting.”The beauty and sweetness of the cakes are loved by ladies at any time. Here, we recommend some of the most popular sweet cakes for you.

1.Bas Relief Cakes
Bas relief is a technique where textures are created by having motifs over the cake with an embossed effect. The motifs are usually kept the same color as the rest of the cake to make it look as if it was raised from the same surface. This method of cake decorating borrows inspiration from ancient sculptural techniques and would be perfect for a nice day.

2.Mini Cakes
Small wedding cake with gold and grassy accents.With intimate gatherings on the rise, there’s no need for couples to invest in large, multi-tier confections. Instead, they’ll opt for small cutting cakes of one or two tiers. “Because weddings are more intimate, there is a rise in small micro-wedding cakes and single-tier cakes,” says Marleeta Peppers, owner of Leeta’s Creations Custom Cakes. Adds baker Arley Arrington: “Lately, I’ve been working less on tiered cakes, and more on individually packaged desserts.”

3.Hand-Painted Art
The idea of “edible art” will make its way to wedding cake, which will serve as a piece of functional décor at the reception. Couples will work with their pros to plan an intimate gathering that’s accented by pieces that complement each other—a cake design that echoes the vibe of the setting will create a cohesive atmosphere that will wow guests. “A creative cake adds a unique touch to the party. Guests can marvel and say ‘That’s edible?’” says Schlesinger.
