6 Popular Birthday Cake Design Trends That Will Stand The Test Of Time

Ordering a birthday cake online in Singapore for your loved one can be tricky with a plethora of options available. Apart from deciding on the flavour, the other most important aspect to consider is the cake design to ensure it suits the theme of the event or the personality of the receiver. 

Although following trends to help you decide on a cake design can be a good idea, they may not work all the time as trends tend to enjoy fleeting popularity. 

Thankfully, there are some popular birthday cake design trends that will stand the test of time - read on to find out what they are so you can surprise your loved ones with something they will surely love at their next celebration. 

1. Paint or brush stroke effect

The paint or brush stroke effect cake design has been in trend for a few years now, thanks to its exquisite design that never stops impressing. Most would opt for a combination of pastel colours for something more dainty-looking but any other colour would work too as it boils down to preference.

2. Flowers and foliage

While pretty blooms and foliage are often used to decorate wedding cakes, they have also been popular options for birthday cakes for the longest time. A rustic-themed cake with a wide range of flowers to choose from and additional foliage to spruce the cake up is perfect for the birthday party of your dreams.

3. Marble

Ask any birthday cake shop owner in Singapore what is the most popular cake design and they will probably reply “marble”. The intricate pattern gives off a luxurious and expensive vibe while the colour options are endless at the same time; reminiscent of real marble. Choose to go for a two-tier cake to wow your guests or keep things simple with just one tier because either way, the marble design will be enough to make it a celebration to remember.

The Marble & Gold Cake comes with gold chocolate shards in marble hexagons and circles, further amping up the luxe factor.

4. All-white

An all-white design is another popular option for wedding cakes but who is to say it cannot be replicated for birthday celebrations too? In fact, minimalists will love it for its clean and simple design. We recommend speaking with your chosen birthday cake shop to see how else they can add some pizzazz to an all-white cake, such as incorporating gold details or white flowers.
