Creative Easy Cake Decorating

I came across this idea early on in my Pinterest days but forgot about it until this week. And, like way too many good pins that I see, I thought, “Hey, that’s a great idea!” and promptly failed to actually pin it.

This past week, my family all came to town and we celebrated Christmas together, as well as a few of the cousins’ birthdays! I made this carrot cake (which was a HUGE hit) along with this cream cheese icing, and I didn’t want to fuss with colouring icing and tracing out letters and all of that – so I came back to this idea.

Tape a piece of wax paper onto a cutting board. Melt about a cup of chocolate chips in a double boiler, and let cool for a few minutes.

Fold the top of a small ziplock over a glass, and pour in the melted chocolate.

Snip a very small hole in the corner of the bag and make as many decorations as you need or want to for the cake. Experiment with shapes, letterings, whatever – only put on the cake the decorations that you like!

Merry Christmas from all of our family! (Note the destruction from #IceStorm2013 in the background…)

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, and love my city. I'm a Netflixer, choral music geek, bookworm, inventor of recipes (I take Artistic Licence on EVERYTHING that I make), wife of one, mother of two, and owner of a neurotic Schnauzer. I respect people who respect others. I love good food that's well done, but my favourite lunch is KD & hotdogs. With ketchup. I'm addicted to Clearance Shopping. I will ALWAYS get the product that I want at the price that I want, eventually.
