Each emerging cake trend is a pleasant surprise for all the foodies out there, but piñata cakes are taking things to a whole new level. They are filled with countless sweet treats, and you need to smash them with a tiny hammer to discover their delicious interior.
Also known as smash cakes, this viral dessert borrows the name from the popular paper-mâché, candy-filled decoration, but it doesn’t necessarily mimic their design. The one thing they share with piñatas is the sweet surprise they hide within, but they come in many different shapes and forms.
One thing most of these cakes have in common is their hard chocolate exterior and a tiny hammer that is used to smash it. They can be packed with pretty much anything your heart desires, from macaroons and cupcakes to candy bars and cookies, and discovering what hides behind the layers of chocolate is the most exciting part.
These cakes add a “wow” element to the traditional cake-cutting process, and they’re a perfect fit for special occasions. In addition to sweet goods, you can also use them to hide tiny presents, making the experience of smashing the cake even more memorable.
