Here are a few popular trends and ideas for Mothers Day cake designs:
Bring an artful elegance to Mom’s special day with soft, watercolor designs. These modern cakes evoke an artistic, abstract watercolor look using hand-painted strokes in shades of pink, purple, blue, and more.
Our cake artists can replicate the look of a watercolor painting, with blended colors and smudged edges. We use food-safe liquid colors and specialty techniques like color flooding, stroke work, and texturing to achieve transparent, light washes of color.
It’s a stunning, painterly effect perfect for the artistically inclined Mom. The abstract style also allows for open interpretation and customization. Add Mom’s favorite colors, shapes, or designs within the watercolor theme. We can incorporate any personal symbols or motifs special to her.
This imaginative cake style will make a lasting impression at Mom’s celebration this year. The artisanal look is elegant and creative – perfect for the modern Mom who appreciates the beauty of hand-crafted art.
Metallic and rose gold accents add an elegant touch to any Mother’s Day cake. These neutrals pair beautifully with soft pastels or even bold jewel tones.
Consider a two-tier cake with hand-painted gold brushstrokes cascading down one tier. Or adorn a single-tier cake with edible rose gold leaf for a touch of sparkle. Delicate gold piping makes for sophisticated details.
Cover the entire exterior with gold or rose gold mirror glaze for a truly decadent cake. The smooth, shiny coating resembles glass and reflects light. Mother’s Day cakes are already unique, and this ultra-glossy finish takes them over.
No matter your design, metallics impart a sense of luxury. They’re perfect for the woman who enjoys the finer things. Surprise mom with a cake dressed in gold or rose gold for a day she’s sure to treasure.
Fruit is a refreshingly sweet cake design perfect for spring and Mother’s Day.
Bright fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and limes add pops of color and flavor.
Arrange the fruits in circular patterns, alternating slices or whole berries for visual interest.
Beautiful wreaths of flowers are a classic Mothers Day cake design. Consider a wreath of roses, tulips, peonies, or your mom’s favorite flower encircling the cake. You can also intertwine different blooms for a multicoloured wreath.
Floral wreaths complement buttercream frosting or fondant beautifully. The cake can be frosted in a solid color like pale pink or have patterns like polka dots inside the wreath. Wreaths look stunning on round, square, or even heart-shaped cakes.
Wreaths symbolize honor, victory, and success – perfect sentiments for celebrating mom. Allow our cake artists at Papillon to handcraft a floral wreath cake design to delight your mother on her special day.
Patterned cakes are a fun way to add visual interest to a Mother’s Day cake. Geometric patterns like chevron stripes or polka dots can create a modern, stylish look.
