Sugar Flowers
With 34 million views and counting for #sugarflowers, there’s no denying this trend is here to stay. Even young children can help decorate a cake using sugar flowers. However, making your own sugar flowers is an incredible amount of work. In that case, from French tulips and realistic-looking orchids, you can buy pre-made sugar flowers.
Dummy Cakes
On TikTok, #dummycake has 30.4 million views. Catering to the fact that they're a smart idea for anyone who wants the look of a grand cake on a budget. Made of styrofoam or plastic, one section of the dummy cake is cut and real cake is added, so it can be sliced for photos.
Cartoon Cakes
With 203.7 million views for #cartooncake, this has become one of the biggest cake trends on the platform. Specifically for your kids, these cakes look as if they’re hand-drawn from a comic book. Cartoon cakes are also a great reason to use as they can be designed vibrantly.
Ombre Cakes
Simple yet classy! Whether you're celebrating a baby shower or birthday or just want a fun afternoon project, ombre cakes are the best and easy to decorate. They're also far more interesting than just one color of frosting alone. On TikTok, #ombrecake has more than 20 million views.
Stenciled Cakes
Want your cake to impress but lack the time? There’s no easier or faster way than to make a stenciled cake. Although #stenciledcake has more than 51 million views, this look is surely going to be more than just a fleeting fad. To try this decoration, wrap a plastic or silicone stencil around the cake, frost, smooth, and remove.
