My 10 year old son has requested a plain choc cake with choc ganache and Happy Birthday Samuel written on the top. I need ideas on how to make it a little bit more festive. However, my cake decorating skills are not very good. Does anyone have any simple ideas to share. His birthday party is on Sunday.
Thanks
Here's one:

Here's one I did:

The bottom is patterned fondant ribbon, cake is covered in ganache. Three bc roses and leaves, wilton sparkle dust for shimmer.
What about covering the top with chocolate curls or shavings? Sometimes I like to pipe chocolate onto waxed paper in fun designs too, like squiggly lines or shapes and then freeze them for a few minutes. You can use them to stick vertically out of the center of the cake--or wherever.
I also like the look of a fat colorful fondant candle with the fake flame and everything to stick in the center of the cake.
you could do some sort of chocolate drizzle around the edges and/or top with melted white chocolate:
a bunch for ideas:
