Easy Cake Decorating Tip number two - Use edible flowers another easy way to decorate a spring or summer theme cake is to use edible flowers. First Cover the cake with a base coat of frosting from a jar or homemade. Since before the frosting has a chance to set up use edible flowers. You can find these flowers at your local florist, or trackback from your own garden.

Easy Cake Decorating Tip number three - Use ToysOne decorating technique that I have used before to decorate my son's birthday cake is to use small toys. For example one year I made a monster truck themed cake with premixed vanilla frosting, fudge premixed chocolate glaze, green sprinkles, a small model monster truck, and small trees toy. I started by making a chocolate road that winded over the cake. Then I used vanilla frosting to cover the rest of the cake. I then sprinkled green sugar crystals on the vanilla frosting makes it look like grass. To finish the look of the cake, I placed the truck on the chocolate path, trees and toys in the grass. This is a very inexpensive way to make a professional looking cake. You can even make toy decorations, a birthday gift or party service. Easy Cake Decorating Tip number four - Use finished Frosting Inserts another easy way to decorate a cake is to buy ready-made frosting Character Design Kits. These packages have a character design made of frosting and sugar and sugar-sensitive. To use these decorating package that you will only need to frost your cake with a basic glaze and then remove the backing from the glaze character design and place it on your cake. The character design will blend into your glaze enough that it becomes part of the frosting makes it look like you retouched the character designs directly on the glaze. You can then place a "Happy Birthday" sugar letters on your cake, add candles and you're done. They decorate the package costs just a few dollars and they come in a variety of popular cartoon characters including Warner Brothers characters and the Disney characters.
