Flies

Difficulty: Easy

These flies will create a buzz, as they sit on the cake wearing their fun party hats. Make them in advance with stiff royal icing.

Giraffe

Difficulty: No reviews

Think of the Giraffe as a number 7 shape, with a pull-out line for the neck and the head. Easy dot features are then added on top.

Monkey

Difficulty: Medium

To make the Monkey, you’ll need two copies of our pattern. Use one for piping on a board, covered with waxed paper. Use the second as reference while piping.

Poodle

Difficulty: Somewhat Easy

The Poodle can be done directly on your cake, by tracing our pattern with a toothpick. His fluffy coat is a result of overpiped zigzag fur.

Reindeer

Difficulty: Somewhat Difficult

Decorating a figure in motion is one reason our Reindeer is so much fun. If you make Santa’s whole team, you can vary the fur color or accents—even add names to the cake.

Spooky Spider

Difficulty: Easy

The Spooky Spider adds a friendly fright to Halloween treats. He’ll spin a web of fun with 8 curving legs and pull-out fur.

Teddy Bear Head

Difficulty: Easy

This 3-dimensional bear adds so much excitement to your cake. Creating it is simple and fun!
