Watch as Better Homes and Gardens shows you these cake decorating ideas with fruit or candy! Bright and colorful treats seem to go hand-in-hand with spring. These can translate nicely to cakes using edible cake decorations like vibrant-colored candies and tart lemons. The blooming flower cake uses candies as its decorations of choice, using Jordan almonds and jelly beans to bring it to life. Begin these easy cake decorating ideas with a Jordan almond daisy. The key here is to always begin with the center of the flower, then just place the Jordan almonds pointy side down around the middle of the flower. To make a jelly bean carnation, once again begin with the middle of the flower. Place layers of jelly beans around the middle to finish it off. Making lemons into butterflies are what makes the blooming flower cake so fresh and special. Use a chanel knife to make stripes down the side of your lemon. Slice the lemon into 1/4-inch thick slices, then again into thirds before turning your attention to making them into wings. Place a little dollop of frosting onto the cake, then place two lemon slices on either side to create a winged effect. Use a bit of mint for the antenna to finish off this sweet cake decorating idea. These springtime ideas are sure to add more character and charm to your homemade cakes. Knowing how to make a cake stand out just got even sweeter!
