From tiers of macarons to cakes inspired by rock formations,
wedding desserts come in many forms. (And even if you’re still a fan of
traditional white cake, you’ve got decorative options.) We scoured
Pinterest to find the latest and greatest wedding cake and dessert
trends. (Check out our Wedding Cake and Desserts board for more sweet ideas.)

If you’re a Fixer Upper fan or just have a thing for
distressed textures, we’ve found the baked equivalent. Achieve a rustic
look by going heavy on the buttercream icing and topping it off with
fresh berries, greenery and flowers.
Naked cakes
are all about the exposed outer layers. (But you can even go with two
frosting colors between layers for added depth.) Then make it
photo-friendly with fresh toppings like mini succulents or floral
blooms.

More of a minimalist? Lucky for you, bright splashes of color are
also gaining popularity. Layer it on in a brushstroke or watercolor
design--it’s artful without being overpowering.
Meet the latest trend to skyrocket on the wedding scene. By using
rock candy to mimic a geode’s crystalline texture, you’ll truly awe your
family and friends.

Why choose between cake or cookies or doughnuts if you don’t have to?
These festive bars allow you to include all of your favorite sweets and
give your guests plenty of options. Win-win.
Playing with gradient colors continues to be a popular choice for
wedding cakes. And best of all, it works with various frosting types
from fluffy to fondant.

We love the not-a-cake trends, too. A gorgeous tower of pastel
macarons is a genius way to subtly incorporate your wedding colors and
give your guests some variety.
