Now that the Mirror Cake craze is over, what will take its place? I think this Velvet Textured cake might be it. Personally,I think it is just as cool as the mirror effect but definitely a lot easier.
This look will work great for any gathering and will get everyone talking. This is such a unique look that most people have not seen.
