Cake Decorating for Birthdays

Making a Great Birthday Cake

When you are planning and making a birthday cake, there are a couple of simple tips you should keep in mind. Using this list to help you plan your cake will ensure that you make a cake that will delight the birthday person and all of their guests.

* Design the Cake for the Recipient - Come up with a list of things the individual is interested in. Pick one thing they love and use that to help you with the cake decorating.

* Have a Plan - Don't start preparing the cake until you have a solid plan in place. You should also make sure you have all the supplies you'll need - nothing is more frustrating than when you start a cake and have to stop in the middle to run to the store.

* Bigger Isn't Always Better - You see a lot of huge birthday cakes showcased in the media, but bigger isn't always better. Stick to a birthday cake that is within your expertise and won't leave a lot of cake wasted.

* Don't Skimp on the Ingredients - Use high-quality ingredients for cake decorating and baking so the cake will taste great and last longer.
