We’re well into 2024 already and the cake designs being displayed across bakeries across the country and online have been nothing short of stunning. With any new year comes brand new ideas, like how to design your cake considering what trends are hot right now.
This article will look at the most popular designs for this year so far to see if they tickle your fancy.
Wave After Wave
Adding piping to your cake is not only a satisfying job, but it needn’t be as symmetrical as was once the norm.
People are getting creative with their piping and we’re seeing wavy designs as a result. We love the inventive ways people are going off-piste with their piping, not sticking to the borders and matching lines that we used to.
Hidden Messages
You’ve bought a cake for a loved one but want to give them an extra little treat because you know how much they love surprises. Having a part of your cake that can be lifted or slid away to reveal a secret message they weren’t expecting can make your cake even more meaningful.

Wafer Burning
Similarly to the hidden messages in our last segment, wafer burning goes one step further. Simply light the wafer layer on the top, which can have a message or photo if you wish, and it will slowly disappear to reveal something underneath.
Many people have used these for gender reveals or marriage proposals.
Bow for Show
A classic idea that has once again found popularity is the bow design, adding to the surface of a cake for a gentle and delicate touch. Whether you choose to match the color of your cake or contrast it with a completely different color bow, it makes your cake look all the more regal and thoughtful.
There’s Never Too Much Pistachio
Spend any amount of time in İstanbul and you’ll see how crazy the locals are for pistachio in their desserts.
It seems like this trend has spread across the world as people from all corners of the globe are adding a generous helping of this delicious nut, either in its seed form or turned into a paste, for example, to their cake recipes.
Easy on the Sugar
People appear to be more health-conscious now than ever, perhaps due to the amount of information online about what we eat. That’s why bakers are emphasizing making cake less unhealthy by reducing the amount of sugar they use. A great idea for those with an eye on their diet.
