Equipment
- Cake Pens
- Offset spatula for frosting
- Toothpicks for sketching
- Small bowls for organizing sprinkles
- Fridge for chilling the cake
Ingredients
- 1 pre-baked cake homemade or store-bought
- 1 set cake pens in assorted colors
- 1 jar frosting optional, for base layer
- q.s. sprinkles or edible glitter optional, for extra pizzazz
Instructions
- Start by smoothing a thin layer of frosting over your cake.
- Chill the frosted cake in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up the surface.
- Grab your cake pens and let your imagination run wild; begin with simple shapes.
- Consider sketching your design lightly with a toothpick before tracing with the pens.
- Once the design is complete, add edible glitter or tiny sprinkles around the edges.
Notes
To avoid clogged pens, store them upright with the caps tightly sealed. If a pen seems dry, dip the tip in warm water to reactivate the flow. Practice on parchment paper before decorating the cake to get comfortable with the pressure needed for smooth lines. Choose a theme or color scheme beforehand for a cohesive design. Don't forget to have fun—it's just cake!
