Simple Cake Decorating


A simple cake decorating idea is to decorate using small figurines, toys or candles.



You can add some easy cake decorations like figurines or fun candles. Frost your cake and choose whatever theme you'd like your cake.

Add small toys or figurines and create a "scene". I've seen some cute kids birthday cakes with a dinosaur theme using little dinosaurs. Or a Pokemon theme cake using small Pokemon figures and writing on a cake such as Happy Birthday.

Adding cake decorating toppers can save you time and turn out a fun cake at the same time.

Cake Decorating with Theme Candles

Have you seen some candles available now a days? You can find a theme candle and decorate your whole cake centered around your decorative candle.

  • How about bowling set candles? That would be easy to create a bowling lane with colored frosting and add candles.
  • A Batman candle centered on a circle cake that looks like a building.
  • Jungle animal candles placed on a green frosted cake with grass.
  • Star candles on a space cake.
  • Truck or car candles on a frosted road.

Are your ideas flowing now? Take a look at some examples to get more ideas.
