3. Viral Burn-Away Cake

Burnt cakes went viral in 2024, and it makes sense to celebrate the New Year with this cake. For those who don’t know, this cake comes with a top layer (2024) that burns off as soon as you burn it, revealing the actual cake and theme (2025). You can order this cake from a bakery, as it can be difficult to make at home.

4. Numbered Cakes

A classic cake that never goes out of fashion is the numbered cake. For this, you will need four different cakes, representing ‘2,’ ‘0,’ ‘2,’ and ‘5.’ The size of the cake can be chosen depending on the number of people in the party. Each number can be decorated with small chocolates, macarons, strawberries and more.

5. Pull-Out Photo Cake

A pull-out photo cake is a wonderful idea to celebrate your fond memories from 2024. The photographs are placed on a long strip which is folded and placed inside the cake. These can then be taken out, and everyone can take a look at the wonderful memories captured over the past year.

6. Chocolate Flambé Cake

This holiday season cake is a great option to celebrate the New Year in a wonderful way. To make this cake, take a cooled ganache covered chocolate cake and drizzle a little whiskey over it. Light the whiskey and watch the cake glow with fire. Avoid this cake if there are children in your party. If you prefer, you can replace the whiskey with rum, cognac, vodka, brandy, or any other liquor with an alcohol content greater than 40%.
