Ombre means shaded or shading in French and it is very en vogue right now in the world of fashion and also in the world of cakes and parties. Fashionable hairdressers use the term to describe the look of darker roots fading through to very light at the ends. And in the cake world it is when icing on a cake fades from darker at the top or bottom through to lighter at the other end. It is so dramatic and I absolutely love the effect.
It would make a fabulous theme for a dessert table, so dramatic and artistic. Here are some examples
