Make sure you look out for the Dutch Peach Cake tip at the end There are many cake decorating supplies that come in handy while creating a cake.
Canned and Tube Frostings – Easiest and quickest, prepared canned frostings are obtainable in grocery stores in the baking aisle with the cake mixes. They generally come in white, chocolate, and a handful of other well-known flavors. Keep a few ready-to-use tube frostings on hand in various basic colors to add the finishing touches.

Fondant Frosting – Gaining in popularity in this country in recent years, fondant frosting provides a beautiful smooth finish to your cake decorating creation. Fondant can be rolled out and draped over a cake, poured on as a glaze, or sculpted into shapes. It is easily tinted, and can be flavored as well. Ready-made fondant is available through party supply outlets. There are also many recipes online for homemade fondant.

CAKE DECORATING WITH CANDY AND SMALL TOYS

Cookies, candies, and other materials can be used for special and impressive effects. Frosted sugar cones can serve as the fins on a space ship cake or the turrets on a castle cake. Make a surprise cake filling with jelly.

A wide variety of plastic stand-ups or cake toppers are available in craft stores. Or, simply use a toy which fits in with the party theme as a cake topper and give it to the party child when the party is over. Action figures, small dolls, animals and cartoon characters all make good options.

Add cool candy accents with M & M’s, licorice pieces, licorice whips, animal crackers, oreo cookies, paper umbrellas, pretzel sticks, tootsie rolls, jimmies, gummies such as worms, bears, etc, gumdrops, mini marshmallows, colored coconut, jellybeans.

THE LATEST CAKE DECORATING FADS!

There are many novel choices for placing the finishing touches on your party cake. Dress it up in style with one or more of these unparalleled special effects:

Spray Color Mist – is a fun addition to your baking repertoire. Frost your cake white, then spray on edible color from an aerosol can. Available in many colors, it can be utilized with stencils to make unrivaled designs, as a highlight to whipped topping – even on your child’s mashed potatoes!

Luster Dusts – are an edible food safe “dust” which can be used on any frosting recipe that dries hard and firm to the touch. Brush it on white frosting for a metallic-like glossy sheen or layer it for interesting color effects.

Cake Stampers – can be used along with brush-on color for fondant icing. Simply stamp shapes and designs into the finished fondant and tint with brush-on color.

Cake Stencils – Place stencil on iced cake and sprinkle edible glitter, confetti sprinkles, or utilize spray-on color mist.

Edible Color Markers – These unique markers are used just like an ink marker. Draw fun designs on cakes, cookies, fondant frosting, even cheese, fruit slices and bread. Decorating marker kits are obtainable for children.

Edible sugar-shape decorations,
decorative candles, themed cake picks and rings, and edible glitter are all fun tools in your cake baking arsenal.
