Meet the newest trend in big-day desserts: The deckle-edged
cake. Find out what we love most about these rough-edged cakes and get
inspired.
[post_ads_2]Wedding trends come and go, but when it comes to the cake there are a few styles that have been popping up at parties for years. Namely, floral-covered confections, naked cakes, and classic all-white desserts. While all three are undeniably pretty—and popular for that very reason—there's a new wedding cake trend we're ready to eat up. Enter: The deckle-edged wedding cake.
Let's talk about deckle edges for a second. You've likely heard the term tossed around with your stationer, but probably haven't discussed it in major detail. "Deckle" refers to a paper-making process, in which stationery is left with a rough or uncut edge. While hugely popular for contemporary wedding invitations, cake makers have appropriated the style for their own use, decorating big-day desserts with similar rough-cut fondant or by applying buttercream without evening out the edges.
The logistics might sound sloppy, but the final result is both beautiful and unexpected. A deckle-edged wedding cake will have a little more texture than their perfectly-frosted counterparts, and bakers are adding everything from gold-tipped edges to layers upon layers of deckled tiers to cake, creating a layered or ruffled effect. Ready to consider something a little unexpected for your wedding dessert? Check out these deckle-edged cakes, which we're sure will be popping up everywhere

topmost layer of your wedding cake. This single-tiered dessert featured

The staff at Carneros Resort & Spa
created this beautiful cake, and it's eye-catching watercolor design
was naturally a hit with guets. But what we love most are the deckled
edges, which made the confection even more unique.

frosting.
