Happy (almost) 2019!!
I can’t believe I’m on the verge of entering the 7th year of this all-consuming “hobby” lovingly named Gray Barn Baking way back in January 2013. I’m still enjoying this new chapter of my adult life and appreciate ALL of you for indulging my passion for creating sweet things to satisfy and delight the soul.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for taking the ride with me!
That said, I’ve been so busy creating that I’m way behind on my posts, so I’m determined to get caught up by putting out some combo posts…This one may get the creative juices flowing and give you some new ways to think about cakes for your upcoming celebrations.
First, consider these adorable bunting cakes toppers as a creative alternative to an inscription on top of any cake.
The bunting message can be customized to express any sentiment and is all the rage right now in cake decorating.
Another trend in cakes is the drip cake. If you’ve been checking out cakes anywhere, you’ve seen these babies.
Drips can be created in any color, but chocolate drips on a white cake are arguably the most dramatic…
The gender reveal drip cake is also huge.
Or a simple drip celebration cake (this one is chocolate cake with salted caramel toffee filling, chocolate ganache drip and gold sanding sugar…yummmmm!).
Here’s a 1st birthday ice cream cone drip cake in aqua and pink with matching cupcakes and cookies (and a cute sprinkle smash cake:).
Or add some flowers to Dress-Up-The-Drip!
All it took was some decadent caramel and an apple on a “naked” cake (also a big trend right now) to create this little beauty!
So let your imagination go NUTS for your next event and get away from the traditional sheet cake and buttercream borders…
Hope you are inspired to try something new in 2019:)))))
