The Fault In Our Sweets
There's another new cake trend sweeping social media, and it's definitely winning me over:
(Mariana Arrizón, Brazil)
Aw yeeeeeeah. Gimmie.
These are called Fault Line cakes, and they're distant cousins to geode cakes. They have similar jagged cracks in the icing to create the illusion that you're looking into the cake, only instead of sugar crystals, Fault Line cakes are packed with all sorts of things.

Or teeny little hamburger macarons:

That's what makes Fault Lines so fun: you never know WHAT you're going to see in one.
I mean, just look at this:
(Susie Makes Custom Cakes, Texas)
The tiger mosaic is made up of sprinkles! If you go to Susie's IG account, you can watch her put it together, one sprinkle at a time. Incredible!
Here's a rare double Fault Line with a fun stripey interior:
(Cakes By Dae, Colorado)
And one with Homer's favorite snack:
(All Mai Loving, Argentina)
Mmmm. Donuts.
Lots of great colors in this sprinkle-licious mermaid design:
(Lux Cakes and Cookies, Australia)
Then some delicate flowers and butterflies on this one:
(Shruti's Cake Addiction, online classes)
I'm pretty predictable, though, so if given the choice I will always go for the pastel rainbow pom-poms:
(Cake Shosh, hobby baker)
ALWAYS.
Seriously, this cake is SO FUN, and the dark chocolate sets it off perfectly!
And speaking of rainbow pom poms:
I hope these gave you a smile, everyone, and that your Sunday is extra Sweet.
