How do you decorate a 13x9 sheet cake?

Answer 1

The easiest way is with a decorators icing bag with the icing tip(s) of your choice. The icing bag with a large flat tip is also an easy way to apply icing the sides of the cake, then just smooth it out. Decorating is also easier if the iced cake has been chilled so the icing has set.

Answer 2

Icing:

Option 1: Take a can of chocolate frosting and a can of plain white frosting and swirl them together, but not enough to make one solid color. Ice your cake with this. You can also use this strategy with all the colors of the rainbow, then swirl them to make tie-dye instead of marble.

Option 2: For this, any color frosting will work. Stick the frosting in a piping bag, (if you don't have a piping bag put the icing in a Ziplock bag and snip off the corner) and start piping on words, pictures, etc. For an easier way to do words, first pipe the words onto a piece of wax paper, put it in your freezer, and when it is thoroughly frozen, take it out and peel the letters off, being careful not to break them.Then, you can just put the letters on the cake. Also, you can use special piping tips to pipe grass,make borders and flowers, etc.

Embellishments:

• fondant shapes
• small candies
• edible rice paper
• (liquid) chocolate
• sugar flowers
• sugar embellishments
• flowers
• ribbon

Answer 3

It depends of what type of cake it is. I'm assuming it's like a sponge or butter cake.

You can put a dusting of icing sugar on top

You can use freshly whipped cream and spread that on top, then top with fruit or cocoa

Answer 4

People who decorate cakes are called cake decorators, cake artists, or pastry chefs.

Answer 5

Roll out the fondant, cover the cake with buttercream icing, and then just lay the fondant over the cake! It's as simple as that!
