Every once in a while, I feel like I’ve been living under a
rock. I’ll hear about a trend that’s a total surprise, something I know nothing
about. Usually these tidbits come from younger members of my family.
This week, I learned of two, and I thought I’d share them
with you.
CAKE BACKGROUNDS
I’d never seen a “cake background” before, but my new
daughter-in-law, Chelsea, knew all about them. So on Wednesday, the day before
she married my son, she brought along a cake background to hang behind her
wedding cake. “You know with Pinterest, everyone is upping their game,” she
said.
What exactly is a “cake background” or a “cake backdrop”? It’s
a decorative banner or display designed to show off a cake or food items.

ESCAPE ROOMS
My sister told me about these. They’re a new type of
entertainment where you are “locked” in a room and getting out is dependent on
your ability to find and follow various clues. You
might say that an “escape room” is a combination of a dinner mystery theatre,
Clue (the board game) and a scavenger hunt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_room
I love learning about new trends. Both of these are such
fun! Are you familiar with them?
