these 10 cake decorations are not only
0:02
pretty they're also delicious first of
0:04
all buttercream makes delicious cake
0:06
decorations and you can just use what's
0:08
left over after frosting your cake
0:10
adding more coloring to it make edible
0:13
flowers by piping them onto parchment or
0:15
wax paper attached to one of these
0:17
flower nails with a DOT of buttercream
0:19
use a petal tip like this number 104
0:22
with the narrow end of the tip facing
0:23
outwards to pipe petals spinning the
0:26
flower nail between your finger and
0:28
thumb as you work your way around the FL
0:29
flour pip a dot in the middle or a
0:32
little star this is in number 18 by
0:34
Wilton you could use sprinkles but
0:36
they're a bit crunchy to bite into
0:38
carefully Slide the paper off the nail
0:40
and place it on a tray or plate try
0:42
piping two layers of petals and use
0:44
different colors to make the design more
0:45
interesting petal tips come in lots of
0:48
different sizes for bigger flowers try a
0:50
number 125 put the tray into the freezer
0:53
for 5 minutes to set the flowers and
0:55
then lift them up peel them off the
0:57
parchment and press them onto your cake
0:59
for simpler flowers use a rounded star
1:01
tip like a 2d and twist your wrist to
1:03
let the petals fan out Sideways from the
1:05
piping tip chill these in the freezer
1:07
and if the frosting on the cake has set
1:09
and isn't sticky anymore pipe or spread
1:12
a little bit of fresh buttercream onto
1:14
the cake to act as glue to attach the
1:16
flowers these flowers are gorgeous and
1:18
will be delicious to eat with the cake
1:20
drips and mirror glazers made with
1:22
melted chocolate and cream are
1:24
eye-catching and colorful and also
1:26
delicious you'll need heavy cream and
1:29
chocolate and and the cream should be
1:30
hot but not bubbling to make ganache for
1:33
the drip or glaze use a ratio of three
1:35
parts of chocolate to one part of cream
1:38
so three times as much chocolate as
1:40
cream add gel colors if you want to tint
1:42
the chocolate liquid colors can make it
1:44
too watery when the ganache has cooled
1:47
almost to room temperature spoon it onto
1:49
a cake or use a squeezy bottle making
1:51
drips that run down over the sides or
1:54
make a glaze by pouring cups of ganache
1:56
over a cake alternating between colors
1:58
and letting it run down to create a fun
2:00
colorful effect that also tastes
2:03
incredible and having a cold cake that's
2:05
been in the fridge is essential to stop
2:07
these drips from
2:09
dripping another chocolate cake
2:11
decoration you can make is a number
2:13
topper melt chocolate the same way 50%
2:15
power in the microwave for 30 seconds at
2:17
a time and then spoon it into a sandwich
2:20
bag and cut off a corner write or trace
2:22
a number onto parchment or wax paper
2:25
fill it in and then pour sprinkles on
2:26
top they'll stick to the chocolate and
2:28
when it sets after after about 10
2:30
minutes in the freezer or 20 minutes in
2:32
the fridge you can pick the chocolate up
2:34
flip it over squeeze some more melted
2:36
chocolate onto the back and press a
2:38
paper straw against it which will chill
2:40
and set in the fridge or freezer too and
2:42
then you can push it into a cake to make
2:44
a colorful sprinkled delicious cake
2:46
topper here's a much quicker and easier
2:49
idea fresh fruit looks beautiful on
2:51
cakes and tastes great too fresh berries
2:54
are my favorite because they're so small
2:56
and light they're easy to attach to a
2:58
cake with just a DOT or or smear of
3:00
fresh buttercream and they stay fresh
3:02
looking overnight so you can decorate
3:04
your cake in advance another easy way to
3:06
make delicious cake decorations is to
3:08
use an ingredient from the cake for
3:10
example freeze-dried fruit is a bright
3:12
and colorful option like on this
3:14
strawberry cake and as well as making a
3:16
cake look pretty it gives you a clue of
3:18
what the flavor is inside this is edible
3:20
cookie dough which is the filling of
3:22
this cake and now I'm rolling it into
3:24
balls to use on top of the cake to
3:26
decorate it these are Oreo cookies to
3:28
decorate my cookies in cream cake hair
3:30
cookies are a great base to make ears on
3:33
cakes which sounds strange out of
3:34
context because of course cakes don't
3:36
have ears unless they character cakes
3:38
like this cat cake which has Oreo ears
3:41
cut into triangles and covered with
3:43
buttercream frosting or this reindeer
3:45
cake whose ears are made by cutting an
3:46
Oreo in half and sticking a toothpick
3:49
into each half and then spreading
3:50
chocolate buttercream over them the
3:52
toothpicks make them easy to attach to
3:54
the cake and keep them standing upright
3:57
marshmallows are also great for ears cut
3:59
marshmallow diagonally to make an ear
4:01
shape and press the sticky cut side into
4:04
sugar tinted with pink coloring poke a
4:07
toothpick into it and it will stand
4:08
upright on a cake making cute and
4:10
delicious ears marshmallows can also be
4:13
Eyes by poking a chocolate chip into the
4:15
middle so cute kids can do this one too
4:18
they fun and delicious cake decorations
4:20
for a kid-friendly
4:22
project to make characters from a
4:24
favorite story or film instead of using
4:27
toy figures make your own delicious
4:29
version by making your own stencils on
4:31
parchment paper or wax paper Trace each
4:33
color onto a different stencil light
4:36
blue then the light brown parts then the
4:39
dark blue Parts dark brown Parts yellow
4:42
Parts until you can layer the stencils
4:44
over each other to see the complete
4:46
character cut the shapes out to leave
4:48
the surrounding paper intact and these
4:50
pieces of paper will be your stencils
4:53
start with one of the colors at the back
4:54
of the character meaning that there will
4:56
be other parts layered on top of this
4:59
which will be more in the foreground let
5:01
this chill in the fridge for 10 minutes
5:02
to set and then position the next
5:04
stencil on top spreading buttercream
5:06
over it and scraping off the excess to
5:08
leave a thin smooth layer behind and
5:11
repeat chill spread peel chill spread
5:15
peel chill spread peel chill spread peel
5:21
you can add outlines and small details
5:23
like the eyes at the end add height to
5:26
your cake with this next delicious cake
5:27
decorating idea cut a shape out of sugar
5:30
cookie dough and push a paper straw into
5:32
it before you bake it then decorate it
5:34
with buttercream or whatever icing you
5:36
like I like my for minute buttercream
5:38
because it's so creamy and easy when I
5:40
make buttercream to frost my cake I just
5:42
set aside a little bit to decorate my
5:44
cookie push the straw into your cake and
5:46
you have a cookie cake topper wrap
5:48
chocolate around a cake to decorate it
5:50
with this decadent gravity defying
5:52
technique drizzle or spread melted
5:54
chocolate onto a piece of parchment or
5:56
wax paper that's wide enough to wrap
5:58
around your cake push it gently to
6:00
flatten it against the cake and then put
6:02
the cake into the fridge for 30 minutes
6:04
or the freezer for 15 minutes before you
6:06
peel the paper off everyone will ask how
6:09
you piped chocolate onto the side of the
6:11
cake and how you got it to stand up like
6:13
that run a knife under warm water before
6:15
serving this for the neatest slices I
6:18
