The first thing you will need is a good quality cake decorations DIY kit, such as Buttercream Bountains, Tarts, Cupcakes and Lollipops and Wedding Cake Decorations. Make sure you get all the basic supplies together first before you start shopping around. Don’t forget the special paper you will be using for your decorations, which has to be thick white or cream colored.

Once you have everything that you need, you should begin by cutting the paper into the shape you want. Then cut another piece to cover the entire top of the cake and repeat the process for the sides. Make sure that all the edges are smooth. You may also want to make the edges decorative by painting the sides of the cake with icing.

To frost the cake, you simply need to dip each of the two round ends of your icing into the fondant mix and stick to the cake. Once you have finished decorating, use your hand to cover the edges to make them look like the icing is running around on the cake. This will give your cake an elegant look.

Now that the cake has cooled, it is time to put icing over the decorated portions. This is where the idea of decorating comes in. Using different color and patterned icing, you can create different patterns. Make sure that the icing covers the entire cake before you put it back on the cake stand or table.

Another of the many decorating ideas for cakes is to create small decorations to accent your cake. This is a great way to make a unique cake for an event or for your personal enjoyment.
