[2019 Trends] Popularity Soared After Being Introduced by Marry♡

The Brush Stroke Cake is a staple in overseas weddings ♩

This design features many thin chocolate plates resembling thorns, feathers, or gemstones decorating the sides of the cake.

Since it was first introduced on Marry's website and Instagram, it has spread among Japanese brides, and recently we are starting to see it more at domestic weddings too*

While their numbers have increased, what’s interesting is how the designs and atmospheres differ greatly from person to person♡

- What color will the plates be?

- What colors will be combined?

- What size will the plates be?

- How will the plates be inserted into the cake?

The variety in choices means that no two Brush Stroke Cakes are the same, which is one of the charms of this wedding cake style♡
