Simple Sponge Cake Decorating Ideas

Cake decorating is a delightful hobby that can develop into a necessary talent for big events. Even young children can decorate a sponge cake, and it might make them feel happier.

Sponge cake is incredibly moist, soft, and tender, and its name implies that it has a "sponge-like" feel. While some adorn their sponge cakes with chocolate or white whipped cream, others employ other methods to add decorations and make the cake seem stunning. A basic cake can even be made into an opulent one by using both of these ingredients. Experts at sweetcakesug who specialize in making distinctive custom cakes, use a variety of creative techniques to give the cake a "wow" factor. Below are some such suggestions that you, too, can use to DIY adorn a basic sponge cake:

1. Sugar and Fruit

Adding confectioner's sugar and fresh fruit to your basic cake is a creative technique to make it look prettier. Arrange them as the garnish. Thinly slice a peach and some strawberries. Place the fruits in the appropriate order atop the cake. Sprinkle confectioner's sugar over the fruit arrangement. Dust the cake and the fruit area with powdered sugar. To add more color to the kuchen, add additional fruits, like kiwis, oranges, etc.

2. Chocolate Frosting

Hazelnuts! Who wouldn't enjoy a cake drenched in this delicious concoction of sugar, milk, and cocoa powder? Using a sharp knife or wire, cut the sponge cake in half horizontally. Using an icing knife, evenly apply ½ cup of chocolate frosting over the cake's central layer. After placing the second slice on top, cover the top layer of your cake with about ¾ cup of chocolate frosting. Once finished, set the cake aside to chill for at least one hour before slicing.

3. Buttercream Frosting

Butter-cream frosting generally consists of powdered sugar, heavy cream, and butter. But if you want, you can even replace the cram with milk or water. Prepare the butter cream by mixing 1 cup of butter, 10 tsp. of liquid, and 4 cups of sifted-powdered sugar. Blend the mixture until smooth. After completing the icing process, spread a thick layer of it over your sponge cake and set it aside for cooling. Cut the cake into slices, and serve with a cup of cappuccino.

Therefore, the next time, try decorating it with your creativity and enjoying it with your loved ones instead of having the same old boring sponge cake.
