Cake baking and decorating are an art. These days cake shows on cable-TV have really skewed my kids' birthday cake expectations. Fondant? Gum paste? Airplane? You can't suddenly become a cake boss, however, with little effort and patience you can make beautiful cakes too.

To keep your children happy you can try these basic cake decorating ideas to make nice, delicious and lovely looking cakes at home. Before starting you need to have some things handy as cake decorating is a messy job. You're going to need an apron, towels, bowls where you can put scraped frostings, toothpicks, parchment paper (to put under the cake base while frosting).

To start with cake making:

Choose a right quality & right shaped cake pan

A cake can look special if you have it in a different unique shape. A football, tractor or airplane shaped cake for your son's birthday; a butterfly shaped cake for your daughter would bring them in joy. Children prefer to have innovative and creative shapes as for birthday cakes. There are many different themed cake pans to choose from.

Top it off with homemade Cake Toppers

Chocopics for Cake toppers

Cake toppers are another easy and efficient way to decorate your cakes or cupcakes. Apart from doll toppers available from retail suppliers, you can make chocolate or hard candy cake toppers at home too. For that you just need cake toppers molds or chocopicks. Buy molds suitable for the occasion and make them at home. Other things that can be used as cake toppers are gummy bears, M&M's, Jimmies, and more.
