1. Pinata cakes 

The pinata cake is among the most exciting styles in cake decorating today. Pinata cakes typically feature vibrant decorations, like miniature toys or candy, and a surprise inside. They are often utilised to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and other important events. Your celebration or get-together will undoubtedly be brightened with this delightful addition.

The custom has its origins in Mexico. According to what we know, the first pinata cake was seen at a wedding ceremony in the early 20th century. The newly married couple's reported surprise opening of the pinata to show the hidden rewards, in turn, surprised the guests at the wedding.

Over time, the appeal has only grown exponentially. They are no longer only used at nuptials and birthday parties. These days, pinata cakes are served at baby showers, graduations, and other special occasions.

2. Beverage cakes 

We all know that person who always has a beverage in hand, whether that's a drink from Starbucks or some new type of bubble tea. Their drink orders are often highly customised and perfect for their tastes. 

What better way to commemorate their birthday than to get them what they adore in cake form, along with a real bubble tea or chosen beverage they can sip inside the cake? It can be a light-hearted jab at our friend's affection for their preferred drink, making it even more special.

3. Money pulling cake

Even though it's still fairly new, the money pulling cake (also known as the money roll cake) is rapidly taking over birthday celebrations, weddings, graduations, and other events. With this cake, you can swiftly remove money from the seemingly ordinary from it, delighting everyone present. It's also an excellent opportunity to surprise your guests with a little extra money to uplift everyone's spirits. 

The Chinese practice of "pulling money" served as the inspiration for the cake's moniker. According to this custom, guests at weddings or other important events would present gifts of money enclosed in crimson envelopes. Different sums of money would be put inside each envelope, depending on the connection between the gift-giver and the recipient. 

Although the tradition dates back a long time, the notion of giving these gifts inside a cake is comparatively new. It is thought to have begun here in Singapore, where some bakers began hiding cash pockets inside of cakes. When visitors tugged on it, the cash would emerge from the cake. These cakes gained popularity rapidly, and soon bakers from all over were making them.
