At Haus 820, a non-traditional wedding venue in Florida, we love seeing couples express their unique personalities through every aspect of their celebration—especially when it comes to the wedding cake! The days of traditional white, tiered cakes are fading as couples embrace creativity, artistry, and non-traditional flavors to create show-stopping confections that reflect their style. Here are some of the latest trends that we’re seeing in wedding cakes at our venue:

1. Bold Colors and Artistic Designs
Many couples are leaning away from classic white and pastel cakes in favor of bold colors, unique textures, and artistic designs. From hand-painted cakes inspired by famous artwork to stunning ombré effects, this trend allows bakers to craft true works of art. These cakes stand out against the modern, industrial aesthetic of our venue, making them perfect focal points in photos.
2. Minimalist Cakes with Statement Details
Another trend we love is the minimalist cake—think clean lines, smooth finishes, and subtle colors with one bold statement piece. Florals, metallic accents, or edible pearls often serve as eye-catching details. These minimalist cakes are perfect for couples who want an elegant look with a touch of modern sophistication.
3. Non-Traditional Flavors and Ingredients
Today’s couples are embracing inventive flavors, with many choosing options like lavender honey, matcha, or even whiskey-infused layers. Non-traditional fillings like caramel, fruit compotes, or vegan and gluten-free layers cater to a wide range of guests and make each slice memorable.

4. Textured Buttercream and Unique Frosting Techniques
Textured buttercream, painted effects, and drip frosting add a modern flair. These cakes look fresh, are Instagram-worthy, and stand out beautifully in a non-traditional wedding venue in Florida like Haus 820. This technique adds dimension and allows couples to keep things casual yet stylish.
5. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Cake Designs
For environmentally conscious couples, sustainable cake designs are also on the rise. Using locally-sourced, organic ingredients, biodegradable decorations, and edible flowers adds a personal touch and supports eco-friendly practices. Plus, these cakes reflect a couple’s values and add a unique layer of significance to their celebration.
As a non-traditional wedding venue in Florida, Haus 820 is thrilled to provide a space where couples can showcase their creativity and set new trends. Whether your cake is bold, minimalist, or eco-friendly, we’re here to make sure every detail complements your vision for an unforgettable wedding day.
