2011 Party Cake Trends - Zebra Print


We've compiled a list of 10 trends for cake & cupcake designs that increased during 2010 and we think you'll see even more of in 2011!

First on the list is a design that locally we've become known for - Zebra Print. Most often it's done in black and white or hot pink and white but we've also created designs with blue/white, purple/black, and pink/white zebra. And its not just for cakes - we've done zebra print cupcakes and we're working on zebra print chocolate dipped oreos and sugar cookies!
