- Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for best results. Fresh eggs, butter, and flour make a big difference.

- Level Cakes Evenly: Before frosting, use a serrated knife to level the tops of the cakes for a smooth, even surface.

- Use a Pastry Bag: A pastry bag with a star tip is a great way to create beautiful swirls and decorations on your cake.
- Be Creative with Decorations: Use sprinkles, edible glitter, chopped nuts, or fresh fruits to add a personal touch to your cake.
