CAKES
In third place is the marble cake with
581,067 Instagram hashtags. This design has
upgraded over the years from a simple swirl
of two different cake batters to marbled
fondant and even dripped on marble effects.
With 70,000 monthly Google searches,
it seems that it won't be going anywhere
anytime soon.
Made by drizzling a ganache or glaze
over the top of the cake so it runs down
the edges, drip cakes have clearly taken
the world by storm - as there are 88,000
Google searches monthly.
Following behind in second place are
naked cakes with a total of 2,803,434
hashtags to date. If you're someone that
likes a simple cake this is the trend for
you, as the cake is filled with buttercream
between the layers but has little to no
frosting on its sides.
Completing the top five are 3D cakes
(481,558 Instagram hashtags) and ombre cake
designs (260,432), showing us that we have
moved away from the traditional designs.
Just making it into the top 20 are loaded
cakes with 14,198 Instagram hashtags. This
cake is definitely one for the sweet tooths
as it often comes packed with doughnuts,
macarons and chocolates on top.
Also among favorites are wafer paper
cakes in 19th place (18,008 Instagram
hashtags) and gravity-defying cakes in
18th (18,474). Both of these designs are
great choices for people who want a showstopping
cake.
Which cake design trends are on the rise?
While currently scarce with only 41
posts, asymmetrical cakes are set to become
bigger in the cake world, according to
JackandBeyond.com. This design takes
serious skills - with different sized cake tiers
sitting on the edge of each other, one wrong
move could see this cake toppling over.
From Baby Yoda to extravagant remakes
of popular art pieces, sculptural cakes (197
hashtags) are also starting to have their
moment on Instagram, as well as jelly
island cakes (317). Both cakes require
serious attention to detail as well as skill to
pull off.
VANILLA CUSTARD CAKE
How many flavors can you think of
that will pair with just about anything,
or can even be made into something else?
There aren't many options, but here is an
innovative idea from BakeMark. Start with
delicious vanilla.
BakeMark features a vanilla crème custard
that you can use in anything from cakes to
sweet goods and more.
You may not recognize it at first glance

provide versatility in your kitchen with a
single product.
This unique filling is an amazing tool to
have in your bakery arsenal because it can
help you produce awe-inspiring products

can take it. Trust BakeMark; it's not your
typical dessert.
BakeMark also offers a great line of
Westco flavors like strawberry, coconut,
orange, and more. With fall around the
corner, Westco Almond flavor is perfect

more.
