CAKE DECORATING TRENDS TO TRY IN 2022 SRI LANKA

 

Every new year brings with it a plethora of exciting new trends to try and emulate. We've put together a handy guide with all of your decorating needs in one location.

Architectural shapes

Cake trends can come from the most unexpected areas, but interior design is frequently used as a source of inspiration. Yes, there are colors, but there are also textures. Cladding and paneling have become increasingly popular in the home, especially as a result of the numerous home improvements that have occurred during lockdowns. These have also been made into a cake! Adding texture and depth in an edible form, and as the popularity of cake develops indoors, we're confident it will grow as well.

Lambeth method

 

The Lambeth method is a traditional cake design that uses an over piping technique in royal icing to produce elaborate scrolls and garlands. It was popularized by American Joseph Lambeth. This vintage method is making a comeback, proving that all fads come full circle!

Cakesicles

 

A new year always provides a fresh outlook on how to get back on track with healthy eating. With lockdowns causing far less mobility than normal and a surge in hobby baking, healthy alternatives (banana bread, anyone?!) were becoming increasingly popular. Many people who want to live a healthy lifestyle are choosing healthier options, and 'clean' cakes are becoming increasingly popular.

Yes, they've been around for a while, but the style continues to evolve and gain popularity! This box of treats, which is especially popular for doorstep delivery, isn't going anywhere. In fact, they're ideal for wedding favors, dessert tables at weddings, and party favors. Never plain - usually ornately adorned to match the color scheme, sometimes even with modelled characters.

 

Flavor sensation

 

When it comes to cake, chocolate reigns supreme, but there are a variety of different flavors vying for, and gaining, public attention. Chocolate orange is one example, which has been cited by many in the baking industry as a flavor that has recently made a splash and has the potential to develop even more.

"Chocolate orange is a flavor that has grown in popularity," says Chris McLaughlin, St Pierre Groupe's commercial director. "Usually linked with Christmas, chocolate orange became the flavor of 2020, with a slew of new product launches throughout the year."

 

 

It's already being seen in supermarket Christmas collections, with wreath cakes and brownie/doughnut hybrids incorporating the flavor combo.

 

Festive fancies

Are you feeling spooky or merry? For that, there's a cake. While the concept of customizing a sweet treat for a special occasion isn't new, it's probable that things will get even better in 2022 and beyond.

"Bakes themed around holidays like Halloween, fireworks night, and Christmas are expected to see a sales spike," Karen Dear, director of operations at the Craft Bakers Association, said.

Even more so, given that celebrations in 2020 were far lower due to lockdown constraints, Macphie's Matthews predicts that indulgence will be on the cards. "Traditional holiday flavors like sticky toffee, winter berries, cinnamon, figs, and orange will be popular, but anticipate themes to be extravagant or include rich extras like champagne or salted caramel," she says.

The Pancake cake

 

In a unique way, Milk Bar's latest sweet delight blends a beloved breakfast meal and dessert. The new Pancake Cake from the acclaimed baking brand has a distinct flavor and texture that's ideal for large parties.

 

Pancake layers are sandwiched between brown sugar cookie butter, maple icing, and brown butter crumbs in this six-inch cake. It's then drizzled with maple syrup and topped with an extra slice of butter. A double chocolate chip cake with cheesecake, gooey caramel, coffee milk crumble, and caramel frosting made up the Double Chocolate Caramel Cream Cake.

The core principle is straightforward, and you can tailor it to your specific requirements.

Coffee Muffins
