Fiesta Friday – 1 Cake, 3 Ways To Decorate

I purchased a plain frosted 5″ cake from a local bakery but any will work.

First up, for Cinco De Mayo, look no further than where you purchase your veggies.  Little peppers are the perfect way to top off your sweets for your fiesta; add on a  mustache on a stick, Sixlets candies (purchased in individual colors from Party City) and your simple cake goes to the next level. You can use larger peppers for a bigger cake and add cilantro leaves. Or swap out the Sixlets and trim with the leaves instead.

For the second look, you know I’m obsessed with candy melts and I knew my pansy lollipop mold would make fun toppers.  Shake on some sugar crystals and your cake is spring ready.  Find a similar mold here.

For look #3; I found these fun birthday napkins awhile ago because they are the perfect color palette for a celebration.  I love the bright colors. I made a coordinating paper pinwheel and used some candy melt as glue to attach to a candy sticks.  A bigger cake will need more pinwheels.  If you don’t want to make them edible, you can hot glue the pinwheels on instead.
