Ombré

Thursday, July 28, 2011

Ombré has made its way into table design, nail art and even hair color recently, but I think this confection by Cake Coquette in San Francisco is my favorite incarnation of the trend! I prefer the deepening of a single shade to multiple colors, but I think that's just the perfectionist in me-how do you take your ombré, or are you tired of the look?

    That is the most stylish cake! I'm love the ombre trend. I'm not a big fan of it on clothes, but I do like it on nails and hair (and cake!).

    LOVELY! pink has to be the best color for that even though I'm not huge on pink...the salmon color in there is poppin' to me.

    Lovely cake, darling! I enjoy how the colors fade from dark to light. But that's just me.

    Hope you're having a lovely day, Lena!

    That cake looks GORGEOUS! I love how the Ombre is gradual [which is the point, but sometimes it's very hit and miss!] It would be lovely in any color! :D

    I LOVE ombre on cakes but I am not sure I can get behind the hair trend.

    I think ombre in shades of pink is the very prettiest of all. I try to steer clear of trends but this one is far too gorgeous to pass over.

    This is so beautiful! It looks pretty hard to create, but what a lovely affect! I think sea blues would look absolutely stunning as well - but I'm attracted to everything sea related - or blue for that matter!
