Today is...
National Cake Decorating Day!

Practice your technique, try out a new kind of frosting, or create a one-of-a-kind design to celebrate.
Cake decorating is an art form that requires patience and experience. Remember to let your cake cool completely before you begin. Stock up on all the important supplies like pastry bags, decorating tips, sprinkles, sugar flowers, accessories, and cake toppers. If you'd like to make ghoulish goodies, check out these Halloween cake supplies.
Invite some friends over tonight for a cupcake-decorating competition in honor of National Cake Decorating Day!
