We already see it in the fashion and interior design industries, the colour of the year. But not in cake decoration. Until now! FunCakes introduces Sugar Paste Colour of the Year! Every year, we will make our prediction of the colour of the coming year. For 2023 our Sugar Paste Colour of the Year is: Honey Gold!
Cakes are often baked for a moment of love.
- A wedding.
- An engagement.
- A good divorce.
- A 25-year wedding anniversary.
- A birthday.
- The birthday of your pet.
- Your secret Valentine.
- The love between you… and your honey!
Honey Gold is a warm, greyish shade of yellow. Yellow is a cheerful, sunny colour that exudes optimism. The greyish tint of Honey Gold gives the colour calmth. Honey is ofcourse linked to the bee. The honey bee symbolises rebirth, order and organisation. Honey is sweet, a taste we associate with softness and positivity. So the colour Honey Gold brings together a range of qualities we yearn for after the Corona period.
FunCakes also introduces 4 supporting spot colours
The supporting spot colours in the Sugar Paste Colour of the Year range are all shades of grey. They are shades that we already see frequently in the fashion and interior design industries. Although the cake decoration industry is usually characterised by hard, primary colours, we will see these grey tones conquer the cake world in 2023 as well. Together, this range forms an earthy colour palette, a reference to people’s growing awareness of the world around us.
The supporting colours all affect Honey Gold differently. The dark Red Earth makes the Honey Gold light up and shine. Urban Taupe makes the Honey Gold look more natural and calm. Combined with the Old Rose, the colour becomes soft and lovely. From the Teal Blue, the Honey Gold becomes nice and playful.
How do we predict the new colour?
When determining the colour of the year, our colour experts look at trends and developments in the world. What changes in our daily lives? They also look at trends from other industries. For example, we know that the fashion and interior design industries are always slightly ahead of the cake decoration industry. Our colour experts analyzed all these findings and used them to predict new colour trends in cake decoration for 2023.
