Spring is in the air—and so is love. As flowers bloom and wedding season kicks into full swing, couples across New Jersey are looking for ways to make their big day unforgettable. At La Bon Bake Shoppes, our favorite way to help celebrate is through custom wedding cakes that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
This year, we’re seeing a fresh wave of inspiration for spring weddings. From intricate floral details to unique flavor profiles that reflect the brightness of the season, these custom wedding cake ideas are the perfect fusion of artistry and flavor.
Here are five standout wedding cake trends we’re loving for Spring 2025.
1. Textured Buttercream: Classic with a Modern Twist
While smooth fondant finishes remain timeless, textured buttercream is stealing the spotlight this spring. Think hand-piped ridges, waves, and painterly strokes that give depth and dimension to your cake without overshadowing its elegance.
This style works especially well for minimalist brides who want a soft yet artistic look. Our in-house buttercream, made from scratch using premium ingredients, allows for silky finishes that hold their shape beautifully, ideal for both indoor and outdoor receptions.
We’re seeing many couples combine textured designs with monochromatic palettes or gold accents for a touch of glam.
2. Pastel Watercolor Cakes: Soft, Dreamy, and On-Trend
Pastels are a spring wedding staple, but in 2025, they’re getting a dreamy makeover with watercolor techniques. Picture gentle washes of blush, lavender, mint, or dusty blue blending across tiers like a painted sky at dusk.
These cakes often feature hand-painted floral motifs, gold leaf veining, or delicate sugar flowers for added depth. They evoke a sense of movement and romance, which pairs beautifully with an ethereal outdoor venue.
For a flavor that complements the outdoor and garden-inspired themes many couples love, popular choices include vanilla cake paired with raspberry or strawberry buttercream. These fresh, vibrant flavors add a delightful touch to weddings set among blooming flowers and natural beauty.
3. Statement Sugar Flowers: Oversized and Elegant
Sugar flowers have always been a staple in custom cake design, and this year, they’re making an even bigger statement. Oversized blooms like peonies, ranunculus, and dahlias are adding drama and elegance to each tier, elevating the overall look of our cakes.
The best part? These flowers are custom-colored to match your wedding palette and can be arranged in cascading or asymmetrical layouts to complement your venue’s aesthetic.
Beyond their beauty, these floral toppers offer an elegant solution for couples who want flowers that won’t wilt, especially helpful for long photo sessions or warmer spring afternoons.
4. Floral-Infused Flavors: A Taste of the Season
Design matters, but so does flavor. At La Bon, we believe your cake should taste just as good as it looks. For spring weddings in 2025, we’re seeing a rise in floral and fruit-forward flavor pairings that highlight the season’s natural bounty.
Think moist pistachio cake, a smooth mascarpone cream cheese frosting, or a delicate pistachio buttercream. Each option offers a sophisticated flavor experience that leaves a lasting impression.
According to Brides Magazine, floral-infused wedding cakes are among the top trends this year, with more couples seeking unique, personalized tastes that reflect their story.
5. Minimalist Elegance: Less Is Truly More
Minimalist wedding cakes are having a major moment in 2025—and for good reason. These understated designs focus on clean lines, soft palettes, and elegant details like delicate piping, subtle ruffles, or a single statement flower.
They’re perfect for modern couples who want sophistication without excess. Minimalist cakes pair beautifully with contemporary venues and allow other wedding elements, like florals or tablescapes, to shine.
At La Bon, our decorators bring these minimalist masterpieces to life with precision, using silky buttercream finishes and premium touches that elevate simplicity into artistry.
