ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cake decorating

Cake decorating is like a big art project with edible paint and materials! If you've ever seen a pretty cake with colors, pictures or other cool designs, someone has probably decorated it with special tools and creativity.



Here's how it works: First, you bake a cake and let it cool. Then, you mix frosting and food coloring to make different colors. You can use a spatula or a piping bag (like a fancy toothpaste tube) to put the frosting on the cake.



Now for the fun part – decorating! You can use different techniques and tools like shaped cutters, edible glitter, fondant, and even candy to create cool designs. You can make patterns, shapes, or even characters from movies or TV shows.



Cake decorating is all about using your imagination and having fun. Plus, you get to eat your art at the end!
