LloydPans’ Takes the Cake on National Cake Day

Break out the flour, sugar, icing, candles and don’t forget your favorite LloydPans Cake Pans because November 26 is National Cake Day! This is one of the sweetest days of the year, and we love seeing what’s on trend for baking. We have the tastiest cake trends that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth!

Lunch Box Cakes
Personal-sized cakes are the perfect way to celebrate someone special, and the lunch box cake is the best way to do it. A cake that fits in a take home container? Yes, please! These cakes may be tiny but they’re still tempting. Half the size might not mean half the calories, but it is worth it for these bento box cakes.

Birthday Cakes
You can have your cake and eat it too, because it’s your birthday! Cake for your birthday isn’t new of course, but catchy slogan cakes are all the buzz. Who doesn’t love a good #CatchyCaptionCake? We all know that the ‘Gram eats first so make sure your cake is Insta-worthy with the cutest aesthetic and a cool caption.

Toppers
Cake toppers have been trending for a hot minute now, and we see why! It’s more than just what flavor or filling or how many tiers your cake has, it’s now about what’s on top of the cake. Move over little bride and groom (or dog!) statues; cute cake toppers are in. Bakers have been swapping out the traditional little humans for fun, amusing and personal sayings to show personality and originality. Slogans like “About Time” or playful figurines like a unicorn horn are a nifty way to celebrate any occasion.

Decorative Designs
We all know Cake Boss’ Buddy Valastro is the king of over-the-top cakes and creates masterpieces with fondant and a piping bag. Intricate decorations like piped roses or ruching and ruffles isn’t a thing of the past, but cakes are taking on a more simple look. Clean, coated frosted cakes with a bouquet of flowers or letting the shape of the cake be the focal point is what’s coming on the scene more. We all know that there’s beauty in simplicity.

Boozy Bakes
What’s a celebration without a proper toast? Cakes with adult drinks are another trendy topic. Bakers are getting creative with celebratory treats that include a shot of something strong to kick off the festivities. Make the most of each memory with a boozy beverage and a slice, but please do so responsibly.
