We know that life can be hectic, especially when you might be juggling the commitments of work and family.
In spite of best intentions you might not have the time to get creative in the kitchen, so we’ve put together a few suggestions to lend you a little cheating helping hand.
If you really don’t have any time to spare, buy a pre-made cake that’s been decorated for you. Cadbury have a range of pre-made and pre-decorated cakes, readily available from supermarkets.
Cake mixes, like the Cadbury Buttons range of cake mixes, are also a good way to cheat when it comes to making your own! The mixes contain all you will need and often only require you to simply add an egg or two and a little water.
If you’ve made a cake but don’t have the time to make your own decorations you’ll find that a number of pre-made decorations are available in the home baking section of most supermarkets. Our Decorating Ideas & Inspiration section has also got plenty of suggestions on how to use everyday confectionery to decorate your cakes.
If you’re looking for more grown-up chocolate decorations for a special occasion cake, visit your local cake making shop. Most will be able to order in chocolate scrolls and chocolate curls in the quantities you require from their own specialist suppliers.
