When making cakes for family desserts, birthdays or bake sales why not enjoy yourself and make fun cake designs. Use cakes from your collection of recipes. Now you get to play and create unique designs.
You will want to gather some funky supplies in addition to your standard baking equipment. For instance, my mom used to make cakes in coffee cans to make fire cracker cakes for my cousin’s Fourth of July birthday, decorating the cake with red icing. She stuck a licorice stick in the cake for a wick.
You can use regular round cakes to make baseballs, basketballs or soccer balls. There are molds you can use to make 3 dimensional ball cakes.
Rectangular or square cakes can be used to create letters and numbers. Decorating any of these cakes in a fun way using dots, stripes, squiggles, etc. can be great fun. Go wild creating fun cake designs.
