Creative Cake Decorating Concepts

Concepts you want to cook a cake for a special day, you know you're creative, but you want a fresh idea to work with. Each party contains a cake to be shared among the guests and family members.

It is custom to have a cake baked by a bakery, or to have a relative cook a cake for the event. If you're the designated cake decorator, you could be searching for a new concept for your next creation. Below are one or two cake decorating ideas : * Characters : There are lots of famous characters to use for cake decorating. You can make any cake special by drawing in Dora the Explorer, or Blues Clues. Or you might want to chop up the cake to make the whole cake into a fave personality.

* Themes : Perhaps you want to go with a 50's theme, underwater journey, sport theme, or a roaring 20's theme for your cake decorating. Use your talents and find a theme which will thrill the individual you are making the cake for, and the guests.

You might want to have a masquerade party in that theme. Regardless of what you decide, have some fun. * Motor Cakes : Boys are sometimes silly about lorries, autos, fire engines, boats, tractors, 'copters, or aeroplanes. Again you may use your cake decorating experience to make a farm with a 3-D tractor, a racing strip, or a scene showing a fire being put out by fire fighters. Naturally it depends on what the specific birthday boy is keen on. * Animals : you may also use an animal theme by cutting the cake to look like any animal, or draw in a scene using animals. It might be a zoo scene with a few animals or select one animal and decorate the cake with other decorations showing where it came from. Use your brains. * Food : perhaps you are making a cake for the opening of an Italian cafe. You might make a scene picturing the building, or if it is for a cook opening the eaterie, a scene of the kitchen with different Italian dishes would be a laugh. You may also cut the cake to appear like a burger, hot dog, taco etc... The sky is the limit when it comes down to cake decorating employing a food theme. * Vacation Themes : I recollect when bunny cakes became popular at Easter, Wilton has pans and decorating supplies for all vacation cake decorating designs. A heart on Valentine's day, or a four leaf clover on St. Patrick's day is a superb way to assert cheerful vacations. * Your Own Creation : If you've been concerned in cake decorating for some considerable time, or if you're an amateur with an inventive talent, you can build your own cake based primarily on the theme or the celebration.

Whatever cake you make will be the centre of attention as cakes often are at a party. It is convention to have a superb cake at each party. Knowing you're the one that is creative enough to make this cake, and the praise you may receive from others, will give you a bushel of satisfaction.
