Let’s hope this year surpasses 2024! I’m sharing some quick New Year’s Eve cake and decorating ideas. Perfect for your home party or next year’s party!
Champagne Sprinkle Cake
Last year, I baked this New Year’s Eve cake for my small celebration. I crafted champagne glass stencils from parchment paper. These were carefully placed onto the slightly chilled, yet sticky, buttercream.Next, I coated the cake with Fancy Sprinkles gold New Year’s sprinkles. After removing the parchment, I painted the exposed buttercream with edible gold and silver paint.This paint was made from luster dust mixed with vodka. I then added a black candy melts ganache drip, using a 3:1 ratio of candy melts to heavy cream (e.g., 3 oz candy melts to 1 oz heavy cream). for the final touch, I used my go-to piping tip, the wilton 1M, to pipe grey buttercream swirls. I finished it off with more sprinkles and plenty of edible glitter. The New Year’s decorations were from Target. I secured them to a wooden stick to create a festive cake topper. The cake itself was a delightful combination of vanilla cake layers, raspberry filling, and vanilla buttercream.
