Sprinkles on the side of a cake add a touch of whimsy and visual appeal. Here's how you can achieve this:
1. Prepare the Cake:
- Bake and cool the cake: Ensure the cake is completely cooled before applying sprinkles.
- Frost the cake: Apply a thin layer of frosting to the sides of the cake. This will act as an adhesive for the sprinkles.
2. Apply Sprinkles:
- Dip the cake: Dip the side of the cake into a bowl of sprinkles, gently pressing them against the frosting.
- Sprinkle directly: Alternatively, you can sprinkle the sprinkles directly onto the frosted sides of the cake, pressing them lightly with your fingers.
- Use a spoon: For a more controlled application, use a spoon to gently sprinkle the sprinkles onto the cake.
3. Finishing Touches:
- Let the sprinkles set: Once you've applied the sprinkles, allow them to set for a few minutes before handling the cake.
- Add additional decorations: You can further enhance the appearance by adding other decorations like piped frosting or edible flowers.
By following these simple steps, you can effortlessly add a delightful touch of sprinkles to the sides of your cake.
