Cake Decorating Ideas

One of the simplest yet fun and adorable cake decorating ideas is the use of cake toppers. Literally, these cake toppers are placed on top of a cake to add beauty and spunk to it.

Wedding Cake Toppers

In wedding, guests of the couple would expect a cake that’s tastefully decorated as well as delicious. But for couple who want to save money, having a professional bake their wedding cake is out of the question. A cheaper alternative for budgeting and artistic folks would be is to create their own cake and then decorate it. A homemade cake will definitely define the couple’s personality. If the couple doesn’t have time to bake a cake from scratch, purchasing a couple of ready-made, frosted (or unfrosted if the couple would want to do it themselves) cake from the local baker should do the trick.

You don’t have to be Martha Stewart to decorate a cake. There are several cake decorating kits, as well as cake toppers, available both online and in local bakeries. Getting ideas on what theme to use on a wedding cake is easy too. Browse websites online that offer unique and elegant cake decorating ideas. To further make your artistic beginning easier, use wonderful cake toppers. Here are some examples:

• Bobble Head toppers – A bobble head is a figurine with extremely large head. Its head is connected with a spring that is attached to the body. Just a small single tap can make its head bobble vigorously. Bobble heads are unique and fun. They can also be customized to make them look just like the couple. After the wedding is over, the bobble head can be kept as a wonderful souvenir of the wedding reception.
• Real flowers – Edible flowers perfect a wedding cake. Make sure to use larger flowers on a huge cake and smaller ones on a medium sized cake. Or better yet, combine the two to produce a wonderful effect. If edible flowers are not available, you can use any of your favourite flowers. Just make sure that they are pesticide free.
• Polymer Clay Cake Toppers – this type of cake toppers are fun and unique. Polymer clay can be easily formed to depict the likeness of the couple either in their best formal wear or engaging in fun activities such as mountain climbing or ballroom dancing.

Birthday Cake Toppers

A kid’s birthday party won’t be complete without cake. Children want their cake to be colourful and fun. Most often than not, they want their birthday cakes to follow a certain theme like their favorite baseball team, cartoon characters or toys. With just a creamy frosting and wonderfully fun cake toppers, the cake will surely be a hit!

Miniature toys make great cake toppers. If your child is into trains, you can add a toy train with tracks, trees and a bridge even. For kids who are into knights and castles, placing several toy horses, knights and a castle background will surely make their day.

With cake toppers, there is absolutely no limit. Stretch your imagination and make your cakes a work of art.
