Confetti for cakes is the perfect way to add some extra sparkle and pizzazz to your baking. This type of cake decoration can make any cake look more festive and celebratory, but it can also be tricky to layer it perfectly. Here are some tips to help you get the perfect confetti cake every time. 

Choose the right size confetti 

When it comes to confetti for cakes, size matters. Depending on the design you’re going for, you may want to choose smaller pieces of confetti that are easier to spread out evenly. Alternatively, you may prefer to go with larger, more dramatic pieces for a more eye-catching look. 

Create a template 

Creating a template can help you make sure that your confetti is evenly distributed over the entire cake. Start by drawing a simple outline of the cake onto a piece of paper, then use a ruler to divide the paper into even sections. Once you have your template, use it to measure out the size and shape of your confetti pieces so that you can easily layer it over the cake. 

Layer the confetti 

To get an even layer of confetti over the entire cake, start by sprinkling a thin layer of confetti over the top. Then, use a spoon to carefully spread the pieces out and make sure they are evenly distributed. Once you've finished the top layer, repeat the same process with the second layer and so on until you've reached the desired effect. 

Add a finishing touch 

A finishing touch can help make your confetti cake look even more impressive. For example, you could use a small paintbrush to add a thin layer of edible glitter to the top of the cake for a touch of sparkle. You could also use a cake topper or a ribbon to add a personal touch to your confetti cake. 

With these tips, you'll be able to create a perfectly layered confetti cake every time. So, the next time you're looking to make a cake that's extra special, don't forget to add a layer of confetti for an extra touch of sparkle and celebration.
