I love cake decorating and I hope I could save much to buy all the materials needed for baking since mine was missing and some were already needed to be replaced.
wow! love it. i wanna try this at home i haven’t try yet a cake decorated by any types of jelly. Because mostly I chocolate coated candies or an icing.
I had never thought about using jelly beans for cake decorating. I tend to use chocolate buttons etc as they aren’t as sweet.

Encourage kids to create shapes or edges with the jelly beans. They can write their name or initial, create a rainbow or flower and even make eyes and a nose for an animal-themed cake.

M&Ms work just as well. I make all sorts of things with them: flowers, butterflies, rainbows, you name it! And the kids love them! Though they do try to pick them off the cake even before the candles are blown…
