Wedding Cake Trends 2025: The Hottest Designs in Lancashire, Preston & the Lake District

“As a highly commended winner in the North West TWIA Wedding Industry Awards 2025, and proud nominee for 2026, I’ve had the joy of designing bespoke wedding cakes across stunning venues in Preston, the Ribble Valley, Lancashire and the Lake District. If you’re tying the knot in 2025/26 here’s what’s trending. From natural, boho-inspired designs to bold, fashion-forward statements.”

Whether you’re celebrating at Beeston Manor, Mitton Hall, Crow Wood, or The River Barn, these cake styles are all about personality, elegance and artistry.

🌿 1. Boho & Natural Wedding Cakes

For couples embracing a relaxed, romantic vibe, boho wedding cakes remain a strong favourite. Think textured buttercream, soft earthy tones, and natural floral accents like dried blooms or edible pressed flowers. It’s such a romantic feel, and always a strong favourite.

🕊️ Perfect for venues like:

• Beeston Manor (Preston)

• Browsholme Hall & Tithe Barn (Clitheroe)

• Hobbit Hill & Holmes Mill (Ribble Valley)

• The Outbarn (Clitheroe)

• The Tipis Riley Green

• 

🎀 2. Lambeth-Inspired Vintage Cakes (With a Modern Twist)

The Lambeth style, a maximalist dream of piped borders, frills, and ultimate detail is having a modern revival. Choose soft, romantic pastels or bold monochrome looks. Add statement bows for an ultra on trend finish.

Hand piped perfection at its finest. But a word of warning- do look closely when choosing a designer for your wedding cake if you are looking for this delicate style...hand piping is a serious talent and not many people can master it😉 (zoom in!)

🎂 Stunning at:

• Mitton Hall (Whalley)

• Eaves Hall (Clitheroe)

• The River Barn (Poulton)

• Bartle Hall (Preston)

  
  

🖤 3. Sleek & Contemporary “Vogue” Cakes

Minimalist, fashion-forward cakes are rising in popularity. These cake feature smooth fondant, neutral sleek palettes, sculptural shapes, and clean lines. Absolute off the chart designs for a statement wedding cake.

🔥 Ideal for:

• Crow Wood Hotel (Burnley)

• Northcote (Langho)

• Wennington Hall (Lancaster)

• Gibbon Bridge (Chipping)

🎁 4. Sugar Bows & Fabric Accents

Soft sugar bows and silk-style ribbons are still 2025’s favourite cake detail. Use them as a focal point or elegant side detail on clean, neutral cakes.

🎀 Popular at:

• Singleton Lodge

• Ribby Hall

• Beeston Manor

• Wyresdale Park

  

🎨 5. Painted & Edible Art Cakes

From hand-painted floral tiers to custom landscapes, edible art is a way to make your wedding cake deeply personal. A true one-of-a-kind centrepiece.
