I’m sharing one of my FAVORITE PARTY TIPS today! It’s a major time saver if you’re in a party crunch. What I like to do, is purchase a store-bought cake and spruce it up to look like a homemade cake. So sneaky right?! I usually call my bakery before hand and order a basic 2 layer vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. From there I go crazy decorating the cake to match my party theme. I really enjoy the process and love seeing my kids excitement when I unveil the finished product. This is the candy corn cake I spruced up for the Candy Corn Party I designed for Oriental Trading. It included LOTS of candy, a Candy Corn Cake Topper and a fun mixture of sprinkles.
What You’ll Need:
- Store Bought Cake (I like the generic vanilla with buttercream frosting)
- Candy Corn Topper
- Halloween Candy Sticks
- Orange Medium Gumballs
- Candy Corn
- Candy Corn Swirl Pops
- Sprinkles (I used white, black and orange sprinkles)
Step 1: Make your CANDY CORN CAKE TOPPER (LINK) and insert into the cake.
Step Place two full sized Halloween Candy Sticks on boths sides of the CANDY CORN CAKE TOPPER. Break a few Halloween Candy Sticks and place them around the topper according to your liking.
Step 3: Place Orange Medium Gumballs around the base of the cake.
Step 4: Place one Candy Corn Swirl Pops on both sides of the CANDY CORN CAKE TOPPER, in between all the Halloween Candy Sticks.
Step 5: Place a handful of Candy Corn on both sides of the CANDY CORN CAKE TOPPER according to your liking.
Step 6: Mix black, orange and white sprinkles together in your hands and scatter across the top of the cake! Place on your table and enoy.
Great tip, thanks for sharing
