If you somehow haven’t noticed that succulents and cacti have been popping up literally everywhere from interiors to bouquets, event décor and stationery, you’ll forgive us for thinking you’ve been living under a rock! Now that we’ve got you up to speed (yes, succulents are HUGE right now), we can present the latest adaptation of the trend: succulent wedding cakes!

From piped succulent creations adorning beautifully layered cakes to cacti artistically crafted from fondant and even the real things themselves used as adornments or cake toppers, these baked treats are getting in on the action… and succulents have even found their way to mini cakes and cupcakes! Looking to jump on the succulent band wagon for your wedding cake? Here are a few of our favourite succulent cake creations to inspire you!
