Textures are gaining popularity!

We are noticing an increase in the requests for textured cakes this season. The advantage is that they create a trendy look on the icing without the time-consuming designs that are shown in many magazine layouts. This translates into cost-savings for the bride, without sacrificing a "new" look and an interesting background for either fresh flowers, butterflies, or fruit. The textures range from a subtle Tuscan plaster feel, to the deep swirls of icing our grandmothers used to make on our favorite cakes. The look also included more of a spackle look that is great in chocolate icing. Another advantage is that these new "designs" give the cakes that truly luscious look of a wonderful dessert. We are really enjoying this trend.
