People Are Burning Cakes As The Latest Trend. Truly Lit Parties In The Making?

[Trendingger]

 

"Let them eat cake," Marie Antoinette (probably) said. But should you burn it?

 

Forget candles. The latest DIY(ish) trend blowing up on TikTok is called a burn-away cake. Basically, you've got a cake topped with an edible customized image that, when you light it up, it obliterates to reveal another hidden image underneath. People are using it for birthdays, anniversaries, and beyond. And of course, Taylor Swift's face has ended up atop many of them.

 

Just remember, though, you're literally playing with fire, so let's keep it safe and not turn a party trick into a call to the fire department, okay?
