Our Viral DIY Cake Decoration Tutorial : From Grocery Cake to an Artisan Masterpiece

Alright, let's talk about dessert. You've just hosted a fabulous dinner party, wowed everyone with your culinary skills, and now it's time to bring out the pièce de résistance – the cake. But instead of reaching for the same old pre-made grocery store cake that looks like it rolled off an assembly line, why not take it up a notch and impress your guests with a stunning artisan creation?

Now, I'll be the first to admit it – I'm not exactly a baking aficionado. But when it comes to decorating, I'm all in. And trust me when I say that with just a few simple tricks, you can transform that plain old grocery store cake into a work of art that'll have everyone talking.

Step 1: Start with the Basics

First things first, head to your nearest grocery store and pick up a plain cake. Don't worry about flavor – we're going to focus on the presentation here. And hey, if they only have square cakes available, don't sweat it. We'll work with what we've got.

Step 2: Gather Your Ingredients

Now comes the fun part – gathering your ingredients for decoration.

For this cake you’ll need a ¼ pint of blueberries, vibrant greens like pea sprouts or mint leaves for a pop of color. And for a sunny citrus look and feel a lemon cut into slices.

Step 3: Trace Out Your Cake

If you have a round cake you're ahead of the game. Scrap off any coloured icing and start applying your icing onto the cake

If you there was only a square cake available, trace a circle with a hot small pot lid on parchment paper and lay it on top of the cake. And cut around the parchment paper to get a perfectly round cake. Remove any colored icing and start apply your icing to cover up the exposed edges.

Step 4: Time to Decorate Your Cake

Once your cake is completely covered in icing, it's time to let your creativity run wild! Start by grouping your blueberries in a set of three throughout your cake. Cut clippings of the pea sprouts or mint leaves and nozzle them next to each cluster of berries.

Step 5: Sit Back and Enjoy the Admiration

And just like that, you've transformed a basic grocery store cake into a stunning artisan masterpiece. Watch as your guests' jaws drop in awe and anticipation as you bring out your beautifully decorated creation. Suddenly, dessert isn't just the end of the meal – it's the grand finale that steals the show.

So, the next time you're hosting a dinner party or just craving something sweet, don't settle for ordinary. With a little creativity and a few simple ingredients, you can turn any store-bought cake into a show-stopping dessert that'll leave everyone begging for seconds.
