When you bring a cake to a extra opening like a baby shower, birthday party, or wedding, no doubt you'll want your cake to stand out above the rest, drawing praise and accolades. Unless you've got a pathological fear of receiving attentiveness and compliments, or are a government spy trying to lay low. In which case a bland, dull cake is your safest bet.
Themes For Cake Decorations
Fun and Activity: The name of the game for these types of cakes is crazy shapes. Clouds, balloons, circles, and triangles, any fun and spellbinding organize will do. Use animal crackers to make a mini zoo, or fun filled farm.
Floral Power: Floral patterns go great on cakes in soft shades. A merge green leaves lighten up any occasion. Just ask those zany kids with their herbal cigarettes. The great thing about flowers is that they go great on birthday cakes, mothers day cakes, wedding cakes, baby shower cakes, and any other happy celebration you can think of.
Romance and Love: Bust out your Inner romantic during Valentine's Day, a husband or wife's birthday, a wedding anniversary, or maybe a divorce? Use any color frosting. But make sure to consist of the favorite color of the someone you're decorating for. You can't go overboard when adding hearts, and a cupid here or there would be a nice touch. Anything to remind the guests what the celebration is about. Glitter and sparkly candies all the time look great on a red or pink toned cake.
Cartoons And Fun: I know that young kids love cartoon characters as much, if not more than they love cake. So why not merge the both when decorating a birthday cake for kid, or an older someone who loves acting immature? You can use molds and fondant to create the cartoon characters, and then color them in before putting them on the cake. Go ahead, ask good old Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, or Melvin the deadly martian to your party.
