Currently there are many physical and online sites where they sell you already assembled sweet cakes, some are cheaper than others (depending on the sophistication of the cake), but it is always a good option to buy them if you do not have much time to make them. But make a sweet cake with your own hands In addition to being more satisfying when you see the final result, you can choose the sweets that you know will be a success for both adults and children.
How to make a sweet cake
There are people who like sweet cakes and others who prefer candy cakes or chocolates ... It will depend on you and your personal tastes if you choose one or the other, but in this section we are going to talk about how to make a delicious sweet cake and very appetizing.
The first thing you will have to think about is whether you want the sweet cake of one floor or more than one. It is clear that if you make it from more than one floor, its realization will be more complicated but it will also be more spectacular, and also, even more people will be able to enjoy the cake. The important thing is also not only that you choose the trinkets that you may like the most, but also that the colors fit next to each other and that the shapes match so that it looks good visually.
The easiest way is to make the cake only with sweets, but there are also other more sophisticated ones where you can use sponge cakes for the base. To go faster and not have to prepare the cake and that the cake is only made of sweets, then, you can use a cork as a base or even cardboard boxes. You will need one or two bases depending on the height of the cake.
The bases can be the same size or different, we advise you to make the base larger than the upper floors. If you want to nail jelly beans you can do it with sponges or corks in some areas of the cake, so it will be even more visual. So that the sweets are not in contact with the boxes or with the cork, the ideal is to have transparent paper to put it on before starting to place the sweets.
What sweets can you use?
The type of sweets you use will depend a lot on your tastes, but remember that it is also important that they fit visually well. Some ideas of sweets that you can choose are:
- Clouds
- Colored jelly beans
- Regaliz
- Lollipops and lollipops
- Chocolates (wrapped)
In addition, you will also need: wands (to make candy skewers), a cardboard tray for the base of the cake, cellophane paper and gift ribbons with beautiful colors. In addition, your imagination plays an important role in the finish, because in this way you can unleash your imagination.
Do not miss the step by step
First you must line the base with the silver foil (if they are cork bases, don't forget the toothpicks to join the floors). When you have the bases ready, you just have to start decorating with the sweets. The longest and largest sweets should be in the lower part of the cake, the smaller ones are better for the upper part. Use your good taste so that they fit well with each other and look good visually.
You should place them one by one, and ideally, the keys with toothpicks (ideal for cork). If you use metal bases you will have to use double-sided tape or there will be no way to put the trinkets. When you finish putting all the sweets you can put the candy skewers in the highest area, you can even put a nice card with the name of who will receive the cake or crown the top of the cake with dolls, chocolate eggs, etc.
Lastly, you will have to wrap the cake with cellophane paper to protect the trinkets and decorate with the bows. As you can see, it has not been so difficult to create your own sweet cake and from now on, and with practice, you will be able to make them much more sophisticated. It is a creative and delicious process!
Conservation of sweets
For the sweets to last longer, the ideal is to keep them in the fridge (especially if you make it one day and the event is a couple of days later). You will only have to take it out a little before it is consumed so that the sweets are not cold.
