No matter what the occasion is, cakes are everywhere. When someone talks about planning a birthday party, a farewell party or any other party, the first question which pops up to my mind is- Time to choose a cake. The biggest question is what flavour cake to choose, and an even bigger question is the design of the cake. There are just so many beautiful cake designs to choose from. But the real trouble is when you have to decorate the cake on your own. Things turn out to be messy. At times you may have trouble with creativity, and at times you may have this image in your mind but when you actually start painting the canvas(cake), it turns out to be something really different.
Here are a few easy cake decoration ideas:
Messy Frosting Cake
This is the easiest way to decorate a cake, and moreover who cares about a beautiful cake when it is super delicious. All you need is frosting, and nothing more. Once you are done baking the cake, let it cool down. After that divide it into 3 to 4 layers (as per your preference). Take a pastry bag of frosting creates a nice even layer of frosting. Using an offset spatula, spread out the frosting against the layers. Make sure the base of the last layer is a crumb layer. All you got to do is spread out the frosting all over the cake using a large offsite spatula. Once you are done, take the back of a spoon and begin making swirls and crests in the thick layer of frosting.
Effortless Zig Zags
Peaks and swirls is an effortless cake designing technique. Repeat the same process of dividing the cake into 3 to 4 layers, spreading out the frosting all over the cake using a spatula. Make sure you cover the entire cake with entire cake a thick layer of frosting. Now take a table fork, and run the tines through the frosting in a wavy motion. This design is easy and looks really elegant.
Rainbow Sprinkles
A unicorn fan or love colours? A really fun way to decorate your cake. Bake a cake and cover it neatly with buttercream. Take a bowl of candy melts (you can make candy melt using white chocolate or dark chocolate as per your taste preference), and spread it all over the cake frosting using a spatula. After everything is set, it is time to get your hands dirty with colours. Pick up a handful of sprinkles, press them against the side of the cake. Now start spinning the turntable while pressing the sprinkles against the cake. While spreading out the sprinkles, you can use more candy melt if needed. After you are done with the sides, scatter the colourful sprinkles on the base as much as you want to, and voila your rainbow sprinkle cake is ready.
All Candy & Chocolate
Candy, chocolates, and cake! This cake is very simple to decorate and a dream come true for someone who loves sweets. You need Kit Kat chocolates, gummy bears, gems, m&ms, nutty, and any other candy you like.
After you are done spreading the frosting on the cake, take kit kat bars and place them on the sides of the cake. Although they will stick to the frosting, use a ribbon to tie them. Spread some candy melt over the base and start sprinkling the candies. Yes, it is that simple.
Fruits All Over
Love fruits? Well, decorating your cake with fruits is really simple. For starters, gather fresh fruits, bake a cake and cover it with frosting. Make sure all the fruits and washed properly, and now cut them into big pieces. Make a design with the fruits over the cake. You can do it, however, you wish to! The final step would be to seal the fruits with jam or a piping gel (soften them in a microwave). Use a pastry brush to coat the fruits with the piping gel.
Yes, decorating a cake is that simple. You just need to know the right combinations!
