What toppings come to mind for homemade cakes?
Making homemade cakes at home ♡
Bake a sponge, add fresh cream, and top it off with fruits or sweets to complete it.
So, here’s a question.
When it comes to the final toppings, what ingredients would you like to use?
The classic choice is definitely strawberries, right?
For homemade cakes, many people also like to use things like popping candy, chocolate sprinkles, or store-bought sweets (like Apollo!).
But...
Right now, cherry toppings are in vogue ♡
On Instagram, using cherries as the final topping is currently trending ♡
It seems the trend is to place about 6 to 7 cherries with the stem still attached, arranged in a circle along the edge of the cake.
Indeed, it looks very simple! Yet, it has the cuteness of desserts served in trendy Korean cafes, making you want to try it out yourself ♡
The simplicity is also delightful!
Moreover, this cherry cake is easy because you just plop the cherries down without having to cut them or arrange them in complicated ways.
Once you’ve made the cake, the rest is a breeze ♩
Of course, making the sponge and fresh cream from scratch has its unique charm, but for those who struggle or are pressed for time, it’s perfectly fine to buy store-bought options.
Even if you don’t spread the fresh cream perfectly, just slapping it on somewhat gives a stylish look, which is another great point ♡
When placing the cherries, it’s nice to scatter them randomly without aligning the stems. ♩
The idea of writing with a chocolate pen in the center is lovely too.
Having a base of light blue or pink cream adds a Korean vibe ♡
