  • Spoon 1/2 cup of the frosting into microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or until frosting can be stirred smooth and is thin enough to drizzle. (Or spoon frosting into 1-quart saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until thin enough to drizzle.) Drizzle over cake.
  • Place remaining frosting in decorating bag with writing tip. Pipe a ribbon and bow on each candy square to look like a wrapped package. Arrange packages on top of cake. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you begin baking, ensure that all of your ingredients and equipment are ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the process.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Whenever possible, use ingredients that are at room temperature. This will help them combine more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother batter or dough.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix your ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking. The temperature will vary depending on the recipe, so be sure to check before you start baking.
  • Don't Open the Oven Door: Avoid opening the oven door while the cake is baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before frosting the cake, let it cool completely. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Decorate Creatively: Use your imagination to decorate your cake. You can use frosting, sprinkles, candies, or even fresh fruit. Get creative and have fun!

Baking a rainbow angel birthday cake from scratch might seem daunting, but it's actually a fun and rewarding experience.
