Burn away or fire cakes are newest trend of 2024 🔥
I've been seeing these since last November actually in different variations on my socials.
I've tried to add a a couple of more trending designs to my cake like the gysophila/baby's breath we see on cakes nowadays. And yes the cute ribbons trend on the sides of the cake 🎀🎀🎀
For this particular project I used a 10" heart dummy ❤️
For the buttercream I used sugarflair dusky pink/wine
I used an off white ribbon
I used melted white chocolate to secure the ribbons on the cake.
Tips used- 070 ruffles nozzle, wilton tip 2c, wilton tip 22, pme tip 66, wilton tip 366, wilton tip 17.
The top sheet which is being burnt always has to be a wafer paper (also known as rice paper) and is preferred to be cut a few cms smaller than the bottom sheet.
The bottom sheet has to be an icing sheet (also known as frosting or sugar sheet) so it doesn't catch fire when the char falls on it.
There has to be roughly a 1.5 cm gap in-between both the sheets on the cake so using a large nozzle for the frosting sheet is always recommended.
The dust spray isn't necessary but it gives a lovely shine on to the cake. Shame it count be seen on the clips at all 😞
Please note: Baby's breath (Gypsophila) are non-edible but they're also not highly toxic yet they can cause allergic reaction to some people. If making it for a client please consult them before you add them on.
When serving a cake like this slide a knife underneath the frosting sheet and remove the entire top bit as shown in the video. I've seen mixed reviews of the fire cake, not everyone is a fan of this cake 🩷
There's different messages you can add on the sheets. I'm sure you've already come across some. There's 'Boy or Girl', 'Will you marry me?', 'Love you mum', 'Happy Birthday', 'Will you move in with me?' so many different things. I went for 'Save the Date' as I hadn't seen this one yet.
