Modern Aesthetic
A skinny silhouette is the perfect canvas for a modern approach to cake design. Unique textures such as an aged stone or abstract paletted buttercream looks even more cutting-edge when the silhouette of the cake is modern as well. You can really push the boundaries of design when you’re playing with a skinny shape.
Final thoughts
I don’t think the skinny silhouette will be leaving us any time soon. Versions of the skinny with soaring double height tiers and unbelievably tall, teetering proportions perhaps are a flash in the pan but the shape of the Modern Skinny has found its place amongst modern trends that are only growing in popularity. It may not suit every style but it still has a versatility that cake designers are having so much fun experimenting with. Would you consider a modern skinny silhouette for your cake design?
