Cake Decorating Ideas

Ah, icing. It can make or break a cake. And there are so many kinds of icing that it can be hard to know what icing to use. Well, you need not be confused by the many birthday cake icing ideas available.

Perhaps your confusion comes from whether to use icing or frosting.  For the most part, there is no difference between the two.  The terminology used tends to be regional, where you live.

Regarding what type of icing to use, consider using a flavor that will compliment the taste of the cake it is decorating.  So, you might want to use vanilla frosting for a white cake or chocolate frosting for a chocolate cake.

Or, you can focus on the different types of the icing.  Cream cheese icing is not often used but is quite tasty.  Butter icing is one of the easiest icings you can use. And then there is whipped cream frosting, which is always a favorite!
