Pastel Swirl Cake
Whip up this easy ombre layer cake in no time! Complete with video tutorial and detailed instructions.

Yarn Bombed Orange Ombre Cake!
I mean, c’mon. This is genius with the yarn wrapped faux cake pops. I’d wager that assorted sizes of small Styrofoam balls from your local craft store on wooden skewers would do nicely, just waiting to be yarn bombed.
Made by the Sweet & Saucy Shop

Cherry Vanilla Cake...
With swiss meringue buttercream. Uhm…need I say more? This cake is gorgeous and I’m willing to bet my left arm that it tastes even better.

Magnificent. I remember when I made my first layer cake. Not the easiest. As soon as I got over the fear of wrecking it, or the cuts not being perfectly even, things started working out much better for me!

Green Ombre Cake
