What Is Your Favorite Basic Round Design?
Decorating By lexi55033 Updated 21 Aug 2009 , 8:59am by xstitcher
I'm looking for some very simple designs that are really easy to throw together at the last minute but are still eye-catching designs for an 8" or 10" round cake frosted in buttercream (can use fondant accents). Ideally for either male or female. Pics or links to pics would be greatly appreciated. I want to have a few designs in mind for when I get those last minute orders.
Thanks,
Angie
The first thing that comes to mind for something "easy" are the cakes with dots/circles cut out of fondant or other geometric shapes/designs:
Here are some examples:

These would be quick and easy too:

Thanks Xstitcher- I really like that top one! That is exactly the kind of cake that I was looking for. If anyone has anymore ideas, please add to these. I would love to have several ideas to keep in mind for those last minute orders.
Thanks,

The last cake I did was so simple and looked beautiful. I used the pirouette cookies around the sides and then put whole strawberries on top. It took all of 15 minutes from starting to frost to being done with the decoration and the guy loved it. That will be my "go-to" cake for anything last minute from now on!
If you have some flowers made up ahead of time (fondant or RI) something like this would be quick to whip up:
