3 Easy Cake Decor Ideas Made Out Of Candies
I like to decorate a cake easy way with decor made out of candies. What is the best easy homemade cake decor? Of course, flowers! We can make cute flowers out of many different candies. I am going to share a few simple ideas on how we can decorate a cake in easy ways with candies. Just a small touch and our cake with almost no effort became so cute and custom simple flower design cake. We can use caramel candies, marshmallows, chocolate, and much more to create so cute designs. Fruits and berries are great to use too to decorate cakes also! But this needs to be done the same day or covered if possible with tasteless gelatin. Of course, our decor must match the flavors of the cake. For example, we can use caramel candies. Caramel candies are so soft like clay and we can make custom figurines, flowers (I show rose on the page below), or just simple hearts. To make hearts I used cake fondant cutouts.
Another great candy to make cake decor is a marshmallow. I share with you so simple techniques to make marshmallow flowers. Look at these cake decor easy ideas and use them to decorate your cake for a party.

1. How To Make Flowers Out Of Marshmallow To Decorate Cake
Very impressive and cute transformation for just a plain cake into a summery flower cake! So easy and inexpensive cake decor out the marshmallow. This is a simple flower design cake but you can add more colors with different cake sprinkles. I used a colorful marshmallow but you can use white marshmallows as well. The same technique but we need colorful sugar, which we can buy in cake decor sections at stores. With colorful marshmallows, the cake decorating process is much faster and less expensive than using sugar fondant. I made leaves from green marshmallows, just cut them into fourths. The flowers out of marshmallow candies can be used also to decorate cupcakes and other desserts.

We need

How to Choose Candy To Make the Caramel Flower
The best candies to make caramel roses are chewy caramel candies. Some caramels candies roll easily, some I warm up for 5 seconds in the microwave. I choose for this project coconut caramel candies, I like roses in 2 colors. When we use a few colors of caramels our flower looks much more attractive. However, we can make roses out of only caramel and add more color with sugar.
Rolling Pin Tip
We can use a glass bottle as a rolling pin. To make it easier rolling fill the bottle with water. The heavy rolling pin makes easy rolling caramel candy.
