Mini Cakes have become quite the popular little treat as of late. They are single serving sized confections of all styles, and they can be quite decorative. One of the most amazing aspects about these tiny pastries is the amount of artistry that can go into them. However, the amount of creativity that goes into them can take a good deal of time. Consider the following.
The basic idea of what Mini Cakes are is nothing more than a tiny decorated cake. The way that Mini Cakes are made is by baking a cake, and then cutting it into very small pieces. These pieces can then be layered on top of one another and decorated or decorated just as they are to create one of these fabulous little pastries.
There are all types of these little confections. They come in all flavors of cake, and can be decorated any way that you like. One of the most interesting things, and to some people one of the best things, about going to a party where these are being served is the fact that each one is a little different with a different flavor so it is a surprise in each pastry.
Just as with the larger versions, these can have any kind of decoration to them that you want for them to have. This includes the use of fondant, butter-cream, or anything else that you would use on a larger decorated pastry. This means that these small items are just as versatile as their larger counterparts, and maybe even more so due to their smaller size. One great example of the versatility of these is that they can be placed on a tiered rack to form a perfect display for a wedding, and they can be eaten when it is time. This is an interesting approach to the traditional confection that is eaten during a wedding. However, without the need for cutting, that part of the ceremony would not be necessary if these were used.
The best way to start if you are planning to create some of these tiny treats on your own is to bake a large flat sheet cake and cut it into small pieces. It is best to use a cake that is relatively thin after it is baked because this will give you a little more freedom for any layering that you would like to do. Then you could do anything you want from layering and decorating with frosting to cutting different shapes out of the pieces in order to place them artistically on one of the other pieces. You could also decorate with cookies and candies as well. You could also decorate with cookies and candies as well.
In all, Mini Cakes are a great form of expression and can provide a little bit of fun for those who you are entertaining.

They also can work with the theme of any get together that you are having and contribute a little extra decoration until they are eaten. Give Mini Cakes a try today.
