Here are a few simple cake design ideas:
Naked Cake: Layer cakes with minimal frosting on the outside. Just stack the layers and add fresh fruit or flowers on top.
Drip Cake: Frost the cake and add a ganache drip around the edges. Top with sprinkles or chocolate shavings.
Ombre Cake: Use different shades of the same color for the frosting, blending them from dark at the bottom to light at the top.
Rustic Floral: Frost the cake with a rough texture and add fresh or sugar flowers on top and around the sides.
Geometric Patterns: Use fondant or colored frosting to create simple shapes or patterns, like triangles or stripes.
Chocolate Covered: Coat the entire cake in chocolate ganache, and decorate with chocolate curls or berries.
