It’s a hot cake! NYC bakeries swamped with orders for trendy ‘burn away’ cakes
They’re very hot cakes.
Burn-away cakes — confections where the top layer is lit on fire and burns away to reveal a hidden message or picture — have been a viral sensation on social media, and now NYC bakeries are being inundated with orders for the trendy treat.
“This one has been insane,” said Nerwan Khalife, the owner of Astoria’s Cakes by Nerwan.“Our phones have been going off the hook.”
Khalife — a 30-year-old French Culinary Institute grad who has designed cakes for Anna Wintour, Jennifer Lopez, Odell Beckham Jr., 50 Cent and the president of Albania, among many others — first learned about burn-away cakes in mid-January when her mother showed her a TikTok in a foreign language with the flashy cakes.
