No Time Like the Present

One of my favorite styles of cakes to make are present cakes. These consist of a base color for the "wrapping paper", another color for the bow, and a highlighting color for the bow's edging which adds a little bit of depth to the cake and makes it look a tad fancier. The best part about this style cake is that it can be dressed up for the holidays,graduations, or any other celebratory occasion, and depending on the colors could be for either a male or female.

Although most real presents are typically square or rectangular, I usually prefer a circular shape. As they say, you should always think out of the box! Until next time, happy baking everyone!
