We love sweet treats here in SHEmazing! HQ (just check our Instagram page for proof), so when we came across these new baking inventions, we had to share the delightfulness with you all.

Whether you want to try to bake these at home or just plan to eat them, here are five sweet trends to get your teeth into:

The Biskie

Part-biscuit, part-cake, it’s the buttercream filling of a Victoria sponge sandwiched between two chewy cookies.

 

The M'hencha

Crisp flaky pastry surrounds a deliciously moist frangipane, orange, cinnamon and date filling. They’re made to share, but we won’t judge if you don’t.

 

The Ice-cream Macaron

Part ice-cream sandwich, part fancy French macaron? We think all of our dreams have come true!

 

The Canelé

The canelé is a caramelised sponge filled with custard but the new version is infused with chilli-spiced ganache and lavender custard.

 

The Paris Brest

A traditional French wheel-shaped choux pastry with a praline cream centre has been given a make-over of a banana créme brulée filling. YUM!

Is there anything that Disney can’t make magnificent?

Apparently not, judging by the looks of their amazing new cake invention!

Their latest stroke of genius was unveiled during their recent Fairy Tale Weddings Expo, at which they showcased their spectacular new cake projection mapping invention.

The innovative technique sees images and animations projected onto the wedding cake, adding decoration that is not only customisable but also magical!

Disney-loving couples everywhere are sure to be excited when they see the technique in action, but, naturally, having Tinkerbell flitting across your wedding cake while it’s circled by a horse-drawn carriage is not something that is going to come cheap.

Indeed, these special Disney cakes are so far only available as part of a whole Disney ‘Wishes Collection’ wedding package, with prices starting at $12,000.

Cue hearts breaking all over the world.

There is no denying the magnificence of those cakes. Let’s hold out hope for the release of a more purse-friendly version soon!
