Quick Cake Decorating Techniques
Decorating a cake might seem like a daunting task, but you do not have to have special equipment and tools or a lot of experience in order to create the perfect cake for your special event. A bit of creativity and a few pieces of your favorite candy can create a beautifully festive cake for any special occasion.
Create a Pretty Weaved PatternUsing sour strips of candy, you can create a lovely weaved pattern that will also add a bit of unexpected flavor to your cake. Simply look for sour strips that come in colors that you think would look nice on your cake, and weave them over and under one another on your cake for a pretty yet surprisingly easy decoration. You can cover the entire top and sides of your cake with this pattern for a nice look, or you can decorate the sides of your cake this way, leaving you with space on the top for your other creative ideas.
You can use other types of candy for this technique as well. Licorice or nearly anything that comes in strips will work, and you can switch up the colors and flavors to make your cake truly spectacular.
Use Candy For A Festive LookWhether you are celebrating a birthday or another special occasion, you can use candy to give your cake a festive and fun look. Chewy candy that has been cut into strips and curled around your finger works great as streamers for the top and sides of your cake, but you can use other things to achieve this effect. Chocolate curls, for instance, are delicious and look great on a festive cake.
Create Cute Critters Out of Jelly BeansOne fun decorating technique for a child's birthday cake or for any occasion is to create cute little critters out of jelly beans. One fun idea is to create a bumble bee -- you can use a yellow jelly bean as the bee's body, and you can cut a black jelly bean in half in order to create two wings. However, you can use your imagination to create other fun insects and other creatures. These can create the entire theme of the cake, or they can work as accents to accompany the other decorations that you have used on the cake.
