Does the idea of baking, frosting, and tastefully decorating a cake from scratch seem a bit overwhelming? It shouldn't. Get cake decorating inspiration with our easy ideas, and follow our basic steps to turn batter, frosting, and your desired toppings into a showstopping centerpiece.
Easy Cake Decorating Ideas: Add Creative Toppings
Our recipe for the cake shown uses a sweet combination of sliced strawberries and halved chocolate sandwich cookies.
Instead of achieving the perfect look for your cake with piped frosting, you can get a creative look by adding fresh fruit, purchased
cookies, and nuts. Here are a few creative cake-topping ideas:
- Whole small berries
- Sliced fruit
- Pecan, cashew, or walnut halves
- Sliced or slivered almonds
- Chopped hazelnuts, pistachios, or peanuts
- Toasted or raw flaked or shredded coconut
- Gingersnaps
- Cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
Cake Decorating Tip: Be sure to serve cakes embellished with cookies or fresh fruit within two hours.
