Just because they arent stacked high doesnt mean they cant impress.

“These kinds of cakes are becoming a trend due to couples wanting a true ‘wow factor.’

Not todays modern brides.

Light, airy, and soft in appearance, these are easily linked to the minimalist bridal aesthetic.

Cox also noted how meringue is naturally gluten-free, which makes accommodating guests with dietary restrictions a little easier.

That feminine touch makes for a beautiful decoration for any occasion, says Cox.

Passion Fruit

If theres a single trendy flavor that stands out to Cox, itspassion fruit.
