Cake Decorating

by Stephanie

It is birthday season at my house! My best friend is a master cake decorator, but I, sadly, am not so talented. All I ever really need to do is write names on cakes (which really isn’t all that difficult.) But I have on more than one occasion found myself with neither decorator icing bags or those handy little tubes of icing. If you find yourself in such a pinch, grab the icing and use an empty (and washed out) mustard bottle! Fill the bottle (hopefully it’s a smallish bottle!) with your icing, and write away! Your cake will look neat, and you can either re-use or recycle the plastic bottle.
