My son turns 17 this week. I am new to decorating so want to make him something special but need a simple design. He is not into sports so that won't work. I plan to make a round cake, white icing annd have bought the Wilton primary colors fondant package. Any ideas for a decorating newbie?
i have read on something like this before and the suggestion was to find out his interest and do the cake with 1 or more of his likes i hope this helps i'm a newbie to this site has been very helpful and everyone is great here lots of luck
Welcome to cc! You might want to rethink using that wilton fondant; it's disgusting!! No one here uses it on cakes. It's good to mix with tylose if you want it to be used like a gumpaste or for covering cake boards. Although I hear that Wilton has improved on the taste; I don't know which batch you have. Try a taste. Yes stripes and geometric shapes woek well for males. HTH
what about music? does he like music?
I was thinking about making some fondant drums and adding on top of the cake
Thanks for the advice. I realized I had a Wilton Happy Birthday pan that I had not used so have given that a go. Tried out all my decorating tips and while it is not gorgeous it is handmade with love and my son liked it so a success. Everything is way harder then it looks!
You can't go wrong with chocolate cake and chocolate frosting!
As long as he isn't allergic to chocolate that is.
