Celebrate National Bake & Decorate Month With A Calendar Cake!

Woodridge, Ill. - (August 2007) -
This October, get ready to celebrate National Bake & Decorate Month! That´s right—Wilton Enterprises is devoting 31 days of celebration to these two popular American hobbies.

There is no better way to celebrate a month all about baking and decorating than with a home-baked and decorated cake. The Calendar Cake below is a fun way to highlight a month´s worth of events. Use this creative cake idea at a baby shower as a due date countdown, or at a bridal party for an upcoming bride-to-be. Or, it´s a great way to commemorate family birthdays, sporting events or other special occasions in the same month.

This imaginative decorating project is really quite simple. Begin with a cake mix or special recipe baked in a classic 13x9-inch pan or larger, and ice with a favorite icing.

Then, get creative with decorating to highlight important dates. Themed icing decorations, sprinkles and cake toppers make special days or events stand out. Or, outline a date on the calendar with colored decorating icings or gels for added "oomph!" Commemorate National Bake & Decorate Month with this fun-to-make cake. Just be sure to capture all the upcoming events on your calendar cake with a photograph—it´ll be gone before you can say "celebrate"!
