Stripes

Stripes are a fun way to decorate your fondant cake. Cut strips with a ribbon cutter or pizza cutter and add to your cake along the edges. You can use all one color or a combination of colors for a fun look. Add a bow or writing on the top of your cake to finish it off.

This cake has a lot of our ideas below, dots, figures, bow and stripes.

Dots

Cookie cutter circles work great for dots. Cut different size circles out of one color or many different colors of fondant. Apply to your fondant covered cake with a wet finger or place cut outs on a damp towel, then place on your cake.

This cake also has a textured 2nd tier, we talk about that below.

Cookie Cutters

Any size or shape cookie cutters can be used to decorate your fondant cake. Try squares, autumn leaves, hearts or holiday decorations cut out of colored fondant. You can add more affects to each decoration if needed. Apply to the top of your cake in whatever design you'd like.

Flowers

Fondant flowers can be created easily with cookie cutters or molds. Stack several size flowers for a 3D look.

Figures

A fondant figure on your cake can be the center of the whole cake design. Depending on whether you created a person with a theme or an animal in the jungle, the figures make the whole cake.

Textured

You can buy textured mats or rolling pins that leave a pattern on top of your fondant. An easy way to create an elegant look to your fondant.

Bows

Add a fondant bow and some fondant roses for an elegant cake or add a bow to the center like you would a present.
