• Round cakes will forever be classics, but 2025 belongs to the rectangle. Clean lines, modern edges, and a totally fresh silhouette… it’s the cake equivalent of a stylish reboot.

    Modern, minimal, completely chic

    Rectangular cakes just look contemporary. They photograph beautifully, suit almost any theme, and bring that polished, editorial feel couples are loving right now. Honestly? We can see this trend rolling right into 2026 (at least, we hope so).

    A dream for cake artists

    The long, flat surface is basically a mood board waiting to happen:

    • soft brushstrokes

    • subtle metallics

    • bold geometric patterns

    • delicate florals

    More space means more creativity.

    Practical in the best way

    Neat slices. Easy serving. Zero fuss. If you have a big guest list, the rectangle has your back. And your caterer will thank you.

    Style it your way

    This shape works beautifully with:

    • minimalist white-on-white

    • dramatic colour contrasts

    • vintage piping (loving this comeback)

    • greenery and fresh florals

    • tall, stacked tiers for extra height

    It’s versatile without trying too hard.
