Warning: This new wedding cake trend *may* steal the spotlight on your big day

First there were naked cakes, then watercolor cakes took over Pinterest, and now this year’s wedding cake trend has officially been declared — and we’re not mad at it. According to Pinterest’s 2017 wedding report, “drip cakes” have skyrocketed in popularity on the site this year — pinned 437% more in 2017 than in the previous year — and once you see them, you’ll understand why.

Part naked cake with delicate frosting, part feast for the eyes, these gorgeous confections make the perfect wedding centerpiece, and won’t cost you as much as those watercolor cakes (sorry, we loved them too, but $$).

The best part about these baked delights? They’re the perfect vehicle for almost any flavor combination — since they involve two types of frosting — so if you and your spouse-to-be are having trouble settling on one flavor, this cake will solve your problem!

Feast your eyes…
