How To: Decorate a simple wedding cake yourself

Beside the frosted cake, you will need some artificial flowers, some pretty ribbon, a ball of Styrofoam and some saran wrap. Start by covering the Styrofoam ball with a piece of saran wrap. Then clip off small pieces of the dried flowers and stick them all around the ball of Styrofoam. If the flowers have wire stems you will need a pair of wire cutters or pliers for this job. When the ball is completely covered with the flowers, set it in place on top of the cake. Next, measure the ribbon the right size to fit around each of the layers of the cake. Wrap it around the bottom of each layer and secure it. If you wish you can make more flowers to farther embellish the cake. When you are done you have an inexpensive, elegant looking wedding cake.
