Barnaway cakes are poised to become the latest way to reveal your baby's gender or announce “personal news.” But is it really necessary to pay a professional baker to make it for you? It all depends on how much you enjoy DIY.
The theory behind burnout cakes is very simple. The bottom design is printed on a thick sheet of frosting (think a piece of edible cardstock) that is secured to the top of the cake.

This actually seems like a pretty genius hack, since you get the added benefit of a toasted marshmallow flavor profile.
