Top Wedding Cake Trends for 2025: Sweet Inspiration for Your Dream Day at Eden Farm Weddings
As we step into 2025, wedding cakes are making a bold statement—just like your love story. Here at Eden Farm Weddings, nestled on 33 magical acres near Vernon and just a short drive from Kamloops, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the trends that’ll make your wedding celebration even more unforgettable.
Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic barn wedding with a riverside view, planning a laid-back farm celebration with camping under the stars, or going all-out with our all-inclusive wedding planning experience—we’ve got the scoop on the sweet details you won’t want to miss.
Let’s dive into the most delicious and beautifully on-trend wedding cakes of 2025 that will pair perfectly with your Vernon wedding location.
1. Bold, Beautiful Colors Are In
White wedding cakes will always be timeless, but in 2025, couples are embracing color like never before. Think deep emerald greens, sunset oranges, soft lilacs, and rich burgundy hues—tones that pair perfectly with our rustic farm wedding venue surrounded by nature’s own vibrant palette.
A bold-colored cake looks stunning inside our reception tent with the mountains in the background, or out near the beachy riverfront ceremony site. Whether you choose a dusty rose to match your florals or go bold with modern geometrics and gold leaf accents, color is your canvas this year.
2. Floral Fantasies, but Make It Wild
At Eden, our couples love incorporating nature into every aspect of their wedding—and cakes are no exception. In 2025, wedding cake florals are going BIG. Oversized peonies, trailing greenery, and even edible pressed flowers are turning cakes into living art. Bonus? You can pair your cake florals with the wild blooms and greenery found right here on the farm.
We’re loving cakes adorned with wildflower-inspired arrangements that mirror the natural beauty around our woodland ceremony sites and riverside views. Want to bring a little extra wow? Opt for hand-painted floral details—like watercolor petals or vine-like patterns that flow across each tier.
Trend tip: Ask your baker about incorporating edible flowers native to the Sicamous, Vernon area for an authentic local touch.
Making Strategic Seating Decisions
3. Unique Flavors That Speak to You
Gone are the days of just chocolate or vanilla. Today’s couples are choosing flavors that reflect their personality and palate. At Eden Farm Weddings, we’re seeing requests for lavender honey, lemon thyme, maple walnut (a Canadian fave!), and chai-spiced cakes—perfect for a cozy fall wedding.
Here are a few flavor trends we’re loving for 2025:
-
Raspberry Basil – Surprisingly refreshing!
-
Lemon Elderflower – Light, floral, and sophisticated
-
Peach & Bourbon – Rustic and indulgent
-
Earl Grey & Orange – A nod to English tea-time elegance
-
Okanagan Valley Fruit Infusion – Fresh, local, and seasonal
-
Local Honey Buttercream – Naturally sweet with a silky finish
-
BC Berry Compote Filling – Bursting with flavor and color
-
Maple-Inspired Tiers – A true taste of Canada
And don’t forget dietary inclusivity! Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan cakes are on the rise—so every guest can indulge.
4. Sustainable & Locally-Inspired Cakes
Couples are making thoughtful choices about the ingredients and suppliers they use. Supporting local bakeries, choosing seasonal fruit, and using organic ingredients is part of a growing movement—and it aligns perfectly with our ethos at Eden Farm.
We’ve had brides bring in cakes infused with locally grown blueberries, Okanagan peaches, and even fresh herbs from their own gardens. It’s a celebration of community, love, and sustainability—and nothing makes your wedding feel more rooted and meaningful than knowing your dessert is part of your local story.

5. Minimalist Elegance: Less Is More
Minimalism is not about being boring—it’s about letting every detail shine. For 2025, sleek lines, smooth fondant, delicate piping, and a single statement flower or gold accent are making waves. These cakes are perfect for the clean, understated elegance that Eden’s natural surroundings offer.
Picture a simple white buttercream cake, lightly textured and topped with a single blush rose, set beneath our tent or beside the riverbank at golden hour. There’s something about that balance of elegance and nature that feels just right.
6. Interactive Dessert Bars & Mini Cakes
Why not turn dessert into an experience? In 2025, we’re seeing couples swap the traditional tiered cake for fun and interactive dessert stations—think build-your-own cupcake bars, mini loaf cakes, pavlovas with fresh fruit, or personalized cookies.
For weddings with camping guests or weekend-long celebrations, having an easy grab-and-go dessert station is a win. It's the kind of thoughtful, flexible touch that makes guests feel right at home.
7. Personalized Cake Stories
This year is all about authenticity. Couples want their wedding cakes to tell a story—their story. From incorporating flavors from your first date to using Grandma’s famous icing recipe or adding heirloom cake toppers, these custom touches turn your cake into more than just dessert—it becomes a symbol of who you are together.
We had one bride create a four-tiered cake with each layer representing a milestone: one for their travels, one for their pets, one for their heritage, and one for their future together. It was beautiful—and deeply personal.
