Talking Trends with BRIDES Magazine

January 10, 2012 by Carrie Sellman

I can hardly believe what my fingers are about to type!  I’m thrilled to say that Half Baked was featured in the January issue of  BRIDES Magazine… in their Blog Star column!  We’re talking trends, specifically about my favorite cake trends right now.  Yes, I’m still in shock that the Editors of BRIDES are asking me what I like!  I’ve been inspired by the pages of their lovely magazine for years now.  So needless to say, this is a huge honor for this little cake blog.

If you’re a loyal reader, you already know how I love Ombre Cakes.  We’ve featured numerous examples of this charming trend over the last six months.  And it looks like everyone agrees… ombre cakes are in!  It’s ‘What I’m Loving Right Now‘!

BRIDES Magazine - Blog Star Feature

You can see what I have to say about this cake trend while swooning over the delightful ombre cake example (created by Cake Coquette) in the January issue of BRIDES Magazine.  If you love this trend as much as I do, be sure to check out all of the ombre cakes we’ve featured HERE on Half Baked!

A huge thank you to the editors at BRIDES for the opportunity to share my thoughts in their fabulous publication.  I’m tremendously flattered.  Looking forward to working with you again in 2012!
