Can anyone really resist cake?  They define special occasions, and when there's a cake around for no reason, well that's a special occasion in and of itself!  We look to cakes for both sweet satisfaction, and of course—inspiration.  The ombre trend has been coming and going for the last couple years, as weather warms so does the popularity of such a fun look. A few of us may be sporting this look in our hair already, but has anyone noticed this trend in pastries?

We love this modern twist: an ombre cake-ball cake!  The entire tower would be gone in about seven minutes around our office.

This cake is a double whammy—ombre through and through!  The swirl detail gives the cake a fun texture without taking away from the color variation.  If you follow the link, there's a D.I.Y.!

And this one is our favorite—so simple and sweet.  Follow the link for a video tutorial!  We're excited to get in the kitchen and try it.
