I make a sheet cake. Then once it’s done and cooled a bit I put the plastic can of frosting in the microwave for 10-20 seconds and pour it over the top. It comes out smooth and creamy. I get the candles shaped into “Happy Birthday” or cake decor that spells out “Happy Birthday” and then I only have to shakily write the name: Mom, Patty, Uncle Joe, Mikey, etc. In gel.

Pre-made frosting and decorating tubes. Make sure your cake is fully cooled before you decorate
