2016.05.30 published
Have you ever seen a gradient cake???
Hello, I’m Haruno Tsuzaki, the editor-in-chief of marry ♡ Have you all seen birthday cakes or wedding gradient color decoration cakes? Gradient cakes are characterized by not having a single color of fresh cream but showing a gradient as the name suggests. They are like dreamy, cute, and romantic decoration cakes*
In foreign languages, it's called “Ombre Cake” ♡
Decoration cakes with gradient colors are known as Ombre Cakes overseas. Ombre (ombre) means “gradient” or “stair” in French*
Popular overseas ♡
This lovely 'Ombre Cake', where the colors gradually change, is especially popular in countries that love colorful and pop colors!
The Ombre Cake is perfect for birthday and wedding cakes. While it is popular overseas, few brides in Japan have adopted it yet, so let's get on board early and take the trend ahead of everyone else ♡
Here are some wonderful Ombre Cakes I found at foreign weddings that I think are "so cuteーー♡", categorized by color!
【Purple】 Ombre Cake*
The lavender color gives a gentle impression to this gradient cake* Flowers seem to bloom beautifully from the top to the bottom, just like Rapunzel's cake♡
Ombre Cakes are not only those where only the outer decoration part is gradient! There are types where the sponge inside shows a gradient color when cut! It seems that they bake sponges of different colors and layer them together*
The gradient cake looks like layered petals of purple roses* Is it a sugar cake? The pearl-like shine is very romantic♡ It seems like a green and blue combination would look like a mermaid♡
【Blue】 Ombre Cake*
A beautiful gradient cake with a light blue color that looks like ocean waves is perfect for a wedding ceremony that vows purity♡ I absolutely love this color!
The round dollops of blue whipped cream resemble fish scales of a mermaid. The blue gradient cake is perfect for a resort wedding♡
If you want to make your wedding cake blue, incorporating it as something blue might be a good idea♡ While it's common to wear something blue for weddings, making it a cake is a new and lovely idea that everyone can be proud of*
It's interesting that the gradient can change in a vertical direction, not just horizontally.
【Pink】 Ombre Cake*
After all, if you're a girl, you must love pink♡ Expressing the excitement in your heart on your wedding day with rose pink*
Each swirl of whipped cream is like a rose flower and super cute♡ Doesn’t it look like a flower wall filled with flowers?
By adding flowers of the same hue, everything including the cake topper is unified in pink gradients♡ Since both sponge and whipped cream are in ombre, it will surprise the guests both inside and outside♡
The gradient cake looks like fluttering petals♡ It’s like illustrating the story of blooming flowers in spring*
You can do such 【arrangements】 too ♡
Not just the classic whole cakes, but small cakes can also adopt gradient colors, which is a trendy idea often seen at overseas parties♡
A bite-sized cake pop with fluttering gradients* It’s so cute, like a dress, right? If you had these cake pops lined up at the sweets bar, it would be very trendy and festive♡
Layering sponge cakes baked in gradient colors creates stylish mini naked cakes*
Spring-colored cakes even attract butterflies, giving a feeling of spring vivacity*
Ombre cakes are super cute ♡
The gradient cake that seems to express the excitement is so cute and fantastical that you would want to keep looking at it♡
Like being in a dream world ♡
The soft colors and changing gradient colors of wedding cakes are fantastical, like being in a dream world!
