Fresh wedding cake fun with florals and fruits

Make it light, make it bright, and keep it fresh, the traditional wedding cake with a twist is all the rage for 2022. Take a traditional white tiered cake and make it come alive with fresh flowers that unite your wedding theme or fresh fruits for a yummy touch. 

Forget the sugar flowers, decorating your 2022 wedding cake with fresh floral blooms is a trend we absolutely love. Match white roses to the bride’s bouquet or go full tropical with fresh blossoms from the Mexican Caribbean. (From Left to Right: La Migaja Pastelería & Gareth Davies Photography; Lluvia de Azucar & Moni Adri Photography)

Decorating your wedding cake with fresh chocolate-covered strawberries is a sure way to delight your guests. A color pop of red and a sweet touch, the strawberry also hearkens to the ancient rituals as an offering to Venus the Goddess of Love!

Simple. Modern. Elegant. 2022 wedding cake trends works of art

The KISS rule; “Keep It Simple, Silly”. We do love a good kiss and we adore cakes with simplicity and elegance. The wedding cake vendors in Playa del Carmen are ARTISTES, every cake is a marvel of beauty and a true reflection of the style of the couple in love. 

Take a simple white tiered cake and add a twist, a dash of gold, geometric design, or masterful minimalism with just a touch of metallic sparkle. White on white on white with architectural designs and you have an elegant masterpiece.

Ditch the cake? Why not?! 2022 weddings bring dessert tables and churro carts

We know not all of our brides are “traditional”, that’s what makes our job as Playa del Carmen wedding planners so darned fun! One of our favorite ideas for 2022 is forgetting about the cake altogether and having a dessert table. Endless treats in all flavors and colors, spectacular dessert displays are creative and delicious.

How about adding a churro cart?! A sweet Mexican dash of love to your wedding day that is fun for everyone. The churro is a hit every time, fresh, hot pastry dipped in sugar or cinnamon that your guests can bedazzle with chocolate or caramel.
