I did this cake for new neighbors to give to them tonight. It's so bland! Any little tricks to jazz it up a little?

put some flowers in the corners.

I think its beautiful the way it is...you may end up making it look cluttered if you add to it....good luck!

Maybe even a few leaves in the corners like the cake in my av.. If you want that is.. I think it looks fine

Do you have any dragees you could add in between every other shell to dress it up?

Maybe some string work on the side? (Of course I'm not so good at stringwork, so I'm not quite sure why I'm suggesting it).

Maybe add in a couple of little stick figures holding up signs that say "hello", "welcome", etc. Other than that I can't suggest anything else. I am sure they will love it no matter what you do.

What about white cake sparkles? I use this alot on my cakes for that extra little finishing touch.

Maybe you could add some yellow dots between the shells and yellow to outline the lettering, add some dimension...? It does look good as is also.

I am very new to cake decorating, but I have seen people take the writing and then use another color over what they already piped to make it bolder. Maybe that would be something easy you could add to the cake.

I think it looks great already! I love the colors and design. What lucky neighbors!!

I should've just left it alone. Don't have any dragees, only pink cake sprinkles & I like the little stick people idea, but not enoough room. Soooo, I tried adding flowers. Should I let it crust and try to scrape them off or just leave it alone?

Leave them they look great!

I love it! Looks perfect... nice delicate touch! They will love it!

fat-sissy:
Your cake is great. I would be thrilled if someone made this for me! Leave it alone. The flowers are a nice touch.

The flowers were a very nice finishing touch! Great job!!

If the picture was smaller adding more stuff would make it better but adding too much might not be good idea flowers in the corner like the other ladies suggested might be good maybe just flowers by the title or on the top corners

I like the flowers. I think you did a great job.

Those flowers were the pefect touch!
Great job!!
