Chocolate Balls / Spheres / Balloon Cake Design
Chocolate balls or spheres have become a really popular cake decoration in 2022 as they look just like fun little balloons added onto the cake. They are so easy to make using a sphere mould and creating 2 hollow chocolate or candy melts spheres which when put together make a ball. They can then be attached to the cake using a little more melted chocolate or candy melts. You will see in the tutorial below the secret to fixing them onto your cake is a can of Spray Ice to hold them in place instantly.

Rice Paper Sails Cake Design
This is one of my favourite cake trends as rice paper sails can be used on so many different styles of cake, whether your creating a beautiful abstract wedding cake, or using them to look like waves on a sea themed cake. Made from Vietnamese rice paper sheets, submerged in water you can use food gel to colour them to match the theme of the cake. In the tutorial below I show you how to work with the rice paper, how to get it to dry quickly and how to add it onto your cakes.

Origami Cake Design
If you’re looking for a cake design that stands out an origami cake is definitely going to tick that box. For this cake you handmake the templates to go around the edge using a sheet of card and some parchment paper. I filled my template with whipped ganache, let it set and pealed the templates away to reveal this geometric cake design.

Wafer Paper Balls Cake Design
Using wafer paper on a cake always feels like a combination of cake making and a craft project. In the UK wafer paper is also known as rice paper. Its a thin, white edible paper perfect for creating delicate decorations, including fun little balls and wedges. This cake trend is perfect for wedding cakes or to add onto an ornate birthday cake design and the best thing is they are super easy to make.

Chocolate Splash Cake
The best thing about creating a chocolate splash cake is they are different every time. They can be made with chocolate or candy melts and coloured in any colour to match your theme. The fun, abstract shape can then be left empty as a cake topper, as I have below, or used as a bowl, filling the inside with macarons and chocolates!
