This wedding cake is simply beautiful. It has cream cheese icing and a beveled edge. The pearl accents are edible. The ribbon is a sheer gold color fabric ribbon cascading from top to bottom. Lastly, it is accented with fresh red roses. Breathtaking!

This unusual cake decorating idea will delight drummers heading for the alter. This drum wedding cake was decorated with thin, marbelized, fondant wrapped around sides. The drum bands are made with fondant painted with silver edible dust. The brackets are made of pastillage and spaghetti noodles painted with edible silver luster dust. The drumsticks are actual drumsticks that were dusted with gold edible luster dust. The tags are pastillag that were painted gold. The letters on the tags were piped with black colored royal icing.

I'm not exactly sure what this cake is supposed to be, but it is interesting enough to share. Is it a strange creature's face? (I can make out two possible eyes on either side of the orb.) Is it a globe with people from various places around the world? I just don't know. But I'm sure a lot of work went into this cake decorating idea.

This clever cake decorating idea is perfect for the Dagwood*in your life. The "bread" was made from marble cake used for its marble rye appearance. The sauerkraut was made by mixing white frosting with coconut. The meat and cheese layers were made from fondant. Hidden from view is a layer of chocolate that gave the cake substance and shape.

* For those who don't know, Dagwood is a comic character who loves huge sandwiches.

Here's one I've not seen before. This cupcake decorating idea has taken the female characters from the movie, "Steel Magnolias" and used them as decorations. You can do this with your favorite movie by printing the faces of characters and glueing (or taping) them to toothpicks. Then, just insert the toothpicks into your cupcakes.

Here is a unique cupcake decorating idea: flags from countries around the world.
This would be a good way to teach children about flags from different countries. If they can tell you what country a flag belongs to then they can eat that cupcake!

Have you heard of the 9 cake pan
The size of the 9 cake pan is part of its appeal.  It can make a cake large enough for a typical family, but not so large that there are too many leftovers.  Plus, it is easy to store.  It is often difficult for people to find places to store larger cake pans, but not the 9 cake pan.  It can go in a drawer, on a shelf, or even in the oven's bun warmer.
The 9 cake pan can be round or square. If round, they have a diameter of 9 inches. If square, they are 9 inches by 9 inches (9" x 9").

This cake decorating video was created by a professional cake decorator.  He shows how he made a groom's cake for a wedding.  I have to wonder, though, what a hot dog has to do with a wedding...  As you will see, this cake is 100% edible.
