    Decorated Cakes

    What special occasion is complete without a cake?

    It is so much fun making and serving a decorated cake for birthdays, holidays, parties, and special occasions.

    What special occasion is complete with out a cake? Find 50+ ideas for making amazing decorated cakes. 

    See over 50 step-by-step and video tutorials to make your own decorated cakes including my popular Easy Koala Cake, Panda Cakes, and Rainbow Unicorn Cake.

    Wish someone a happy birthday and let them cut into a Surprise Inside Birthday Cake.

    Propose marriage by hiding the words "marry me" inside a cake or tell someone you love them with an “I  LOVE You” Surprise Cake. These desserts are so incredibly exciting to serve. Your party guests will be amazed when you cut the first slice.

    Despicable Me fans will think the Minion Prisoner Cake is just too cute and your loved ones will swoon over a Conversation Heart Piñata Cake.

    Some are easy and others more challenging, but I try to give you enough instruction so that you can easily recreate all these cakes at home.
