Birthday Cake Ideas for 2025
Here are the top trends shaping birthday cakes this year:
1. Vintage Buttercream Cakes
Old-school piping styles are making a huge comeback. Think delicate lace-like borders, frilled edges, pearls, and pastel colour palettes. These vintage cakes have a nostalgic yet stylish appeal, perfect for milestone birthdays.

2. Drip Cakes with a Twist
Drip cakes are still a customer favourite, but in 2025, they're getting more creative. Expect to see bold colour combinations, chocolate drips paired with edible flowers, and even multi-tiered versions.

3. Personalised Cakes
More people want cakes that tell a story. Adding names, ages, or themed toppers makes the cake unique to the person celebrating. From football-inspired cakes to floral elegance, the designs are limitless.
