Because cake isn’t just dessert anymore—it’s the main character of every celebration.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned in 2025, it’s that people want their cake to speak. Whether it’s bold, beautiful, cute, or completely over-the-top, the cakes flying out of The Cake Daddy kitchen this year are full of personality—and flavour too!
Let’s take a look at the top cake trends of 2025 so far. These are the cakes everyone’s ordering, posting, and tagging all over TikTok and Instagram.
Vintage Heart Cakes: A Throwback Favourite 💘
It’s giving early 2000s, it’s giving main character energy. These cakes are all about soft pastels, over-the-top piping, and a little sparkle. Whether it’s a birthday or Galentine’s Day, the vintage heart cake trend is still going strong—think lace borders, cute sayings, and all the frilly flair.
Cartoon Cakes: Straight Outta the Sketchbook 🖍️
These cakes look like they were drawn by hand—but surprise—they’re 100% edible! The 2D cartoon cake trend blew up on TikTok and hasn’t slowed down. Perfect for any age, these cakes are playful, bold, and totally unexpected. Add a name or fun quote in comic-style font for that full cartoon effect.
💡 Pro Tip: Cartoon cakes look best with simple shapes and bold outlines. Keep the design clean for max impact!
Luxe Drip Cakes: Glamour in Every Slice ✨
Gold accents, chocolate ganache drips, metallic leafing, and stacked layers—luxe cakes are here to make a statement. These are ideal for milestone birthdays, bridal showers, and any event that calls for a bit of drama. Pair it with macarons, fresh roses, and a custom topper for serious showstopper status.
Bento & Mini Cakes: Small Cakes, Big Mood 🍰
Sometimes you don’t need a massive cake—just a personal-sized slice of joy. Bento cakes are the go-to for surprise gifts, little celebrations, or even self-care Sundays. Customise them with cute messages, initials, or characters. We’re loving the simple yet satisfying vibes of this Korean-inspired trend.
📸 These look amazing in minimal white boxes with clear lids—perfect for gifting and Instagram snaps!
Letter & Number Cakes: Personal and Perfect 🔤
Spell it out with a letter or number cake! These are popular for all ages—from first birthdays to sweet sixteens and big 3-0s. Topped with everything from fresh fruit and edible flowers to mini chocolates and sprinkles, these cakes are all about you.
