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…

Great way to add some variety to a cake. An artistic way to spell out Happy Birthday or any other celebration phrase!

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.

Jellybeans are a great idea! I’ve also seen Gummy Bears and they’re yummy also!

I’ve tried it and it was great.My kids love the decoration. It adds color to the cake and it blends with the flavor. You can also try m&m and experiment with the decors. Thanks for the post. It gave me an idea.
