"15 Bold Color Combinations for Cake Decorating That Will Make Your Heart Race"
I recently hosted a birthday party where my $19 cake decorating tool nearly ruined the whole thing. It was the perfect idea—except the squeaking. I thought bright, bold colors were the way to go... but then, I remembered my grandma’s advice: “Less is more.” I ended up with a cake that looked like a rainbow in my mouth, not on display.
The next time, I decided to embrace the chaos. I flipped the script: I went for bold, unexpected color combinations. I paired my $19 cake decorating tool with some eye-catching accessories, like metallic ribbons and pastel pastels. I thought it was a bold move... but then, I realized it might have been the best one yet.
Here’s what I learned:
- 1. Start simple. Use a neutral cake base to keep the design from getting overwhelmed.
- 2. Keep it fun. A colorful candle or a couple of small figurines can add a pop of interest.
- 3. Don’t overdo it. Too many colors can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to cake decorating.
And the best part? I saved $50 on decorations by sticking to bold, unexpected color combinations. I thought it was an expensive lesson... but then, I realized it was the best move yet.
