Fun Cake Designs

The best way to learn how to create fun cake designs is to use your imagination. Besides that a very good way to come up with fun cake design ideas is to look around and try to integrate simple shapes in order to make the cake design. One of my friends tried out a very innovative yet simple and realistic experiment while making a cake for her sweet 10 year old daughter, who was fascinated by violins. What my friend did was not very difficult; she made a simple chocolate in a bog square baking tray. She then used a simple knife and with the help of her delicate hands she carved out the violin. Later with the help of dark black chocolate icing she covered up the shape of the violin and made it look like a real one.

Well even you can try out some interesting and simple figures like that. It is pretty easy to carve out the shape with the help of a simple knife. The better the mixture of your batter the better the cake becomes. If the mixture of the batter is good the finish of the cake becomes really good and you are able to easily carve through the cake. Similarly, you can also make some excellent fun cake designs for kids.

Another very easy way to make, fun cake designs is to make use of fruits, nut, cereals and candy. Making use of such accessories proves to be very effective when you have less time to decorate the cake. I still remember that my mother used to make these fun cake designs using a collection of my favorite fruits (I am very fond of fruits). By using various fresh fruits and dry fruits, you can make what I call a 'fruit salad cake'. To make the fruit salad cake, first bake a simple non-layered vanilla cake. Then using a spoon or a knife carve a small crater in the middle of the cake. Fill the crater with your selected choice of fruits. If you want to put larger sized fruits in the crater, cut them up in smaller and even slices. Decorate and cover up the remaining portion of the cake in vanilla icing or you can also try putting a generous layer of ice creams like, chocolate ice cream, strawberry or butter scotch. You can also decorate the remainder of the cake with the help of sweet cereals and dry fruits. If it is a birthday cake then write the birthday boy or girl's name in the icing using the cereal or dry fruits. Using such small yet creative ideas you can also bake some fun wedding cake designs or even come up with some fun cupcake ideas.

The following are some interesting yet simple fun cake designs that I happened to see in the catalog of a bakery.

• Cookie Chocolate Cake: Bake a layered or non layered chocolate cake and apply a generous layer of chocolate or vanilla ice cream. You can use many fun cake designs to decorate this cake. The simplest option is to crumble a couple of chocolate cookies and sprinkle the pieces on the still – wet icing. You can also use some blends like strawberry jam or marmalade while decorating the cake.
• Dry Fruit Cake: You can also make an elegant dry fruit cake that can served as dessert on a particularly snowy evening. To make the dry fruit cake you can bake a simple vanilla cake and then cover it up with vanilla ice cream. Then generously sprinkle crushed dry fruits on top of the icing. You can also sprinkle some pieces of dry fruits within the different layers of the cakes along with vanilla icing or some jam.
• Theme Fruit Cake: If you are particularly fond of some specific fruits for example banana, then you can easily come up with some fun cake designs. Initially, bake a vanilla cake in the shape of a banana. If the cake is a layered cake then use vanilla ice cream and banana flavored jam as a filler between the layers. Cover up the cake in vanilla ice cream. Then place differently cut sizes of bananas on the surface of the cake. You can also try out the same recipe for different types of fruits like strawberry or apple.
