Thanksgiving Cake

        Hello readers and a very happy Thanksgiving! Today we are going to make a very special and simple recipe that I had been saving for Thanksgiving day. Today we will make a very special Thanksgiving cake. This should be fairly easy because almost everybody knows how to make a cake, so I will basically be showing you some ways to decorate cakes tht relate to Thanksgiving. Today I will go over two designs that are super easy and fun to decorate. The nice thing is that I will be showing you how to decorte a square and round cake. This is a recipe that your family is bound to love. So let's get started!


        For a round cake you will need:

  • a baked cake (try to have it covered with white fondant)
  • orange, green, brown, and pink frosting
  • a fine and thick nozzle to put on your frosting bag

       Let's get started! Put on the thin nozzle on the brown frosting and make small swirls at the top of the cake (on the edge). Then place a thick nozzle on the orange icing and squirt large drops of frosting out. Leave a space between each drop. Take your green icing and put on the thick nozzle. Do the same thing as you did with the orange frosting, except place the dots where therer are spaces and don't leave a gap. Place a fine nozzle on the pink frosting and in the middle of the cake, write "Happy Thanksgiving". Lastly, relish with your family!

          For a square cake you will need:
  • a baked cake covered with white frosting/ fondant
  • brown frosting
  • orange frosting
  • a fine, thick, and medium sized nozzle

     Let's get started. Leave one fourth of the cake empty. Then, On the edge, take your thick nozzle and squirt little drops of orange icing on the edges (do not leave gaps). Take your brown frosting and avoiding the empty space, write "Happy Thanksgiving". Now starte working in the empty space. Use your slim nozzle and make an outline of a leaf in brown. Make a line vertically in the center of the leaf and and then, using your medium sized nozzle color in the leaf (do not color on top of the line). Take your slim nozzle and make small lines that attach to the center line. These lines should not be any longer than three quarters of an inch. Lastly, enjoy this sweet dish with your family!


       I hop everyone enjoyed this post. Once again, Happy Thanksgiving!
