There are so many design ideas to choose from when decorating a cake for the New Year. A few ideas include decorating a round cake with a clock face, using number toppers or icing to spell out 2012, and topping a cake with cake sparklers.

If you're up for a challenge, you could recreate the fondant cake on the right by camknows. I love the clock and champagne bottle details!

Pull apart cupcake cakes, like this cake by freakgirl, are a great option for New Year's Eve parties.

To make a similar cake, arrange your cupcakes closely together and ice the tops as if icing the top of a cake. Decorate and add a message and you're done! The finished result looks like a cake, but there is no need to cut and serve - guests just grab a cupcake and enjoy.
