Popular Wedding Cake ③ Simple Cake
If you want a cake that is cute yet mature, a simple, stylish design that focuses on the application of whipped cream is recommended.
An upscale adult design will surely make people think, "Wow, that girl really has taste!"
For a pure white simple wedding cake, it is common to express individuality with a cake topper. ♡

The simplicity of the cake allows the cake toppers to stand out beautifully.
Popular Wedding Cake ④ Colored Drip Cake
The [Colored Drip Cake] has become popular in Japan's wedding scene in recent years. This overseas-inspired design features sauce dripping down from the top.
Many guests may not have seen it in real life yet, so it's recommended for those wanting a novel design for their cake.
Another highly popular performance method is to prepare a white wedding cake and pour the sauce in front of guests, creating a [Colored Drip] effect.
The appearance of the cake changes dramatically before and after the sauce is poured, so it's also referred to as a "cake color change." ♡
Popular Wedding Cake ⑤ Citrus Cake
While strawberries are the standard fruit decoration for wedding cakes, cakes decorated primarily with citrus fruits in bright vitamin colors are also popular.
You’ll want to generously decorate with sweet and sour fruits like lemon, grapefruit, orange, and pineapple. ♡
Citrus fruits are also cute when sliced.
A design with sliced fruits arranged all around the cake like this is also lovely. *
The refreshing citrus cake is perfect for brides having a natural wedding or a summer wedding. ♩
Popular Wedding Cake ⑥ Book Cake
The [Book Cake] resembles a book, almost as if the pages are opened.
The standard design features a stylish English phrase written on it and decorated with fruits. ♡

Popular Wedding Cake ⑦ Fruit Shower Cake
The [Fruit Shower Cake] features a design where fruit appears to tumble down from the top. Just as the name suggests, it looks like a shower of fruits. ♡
