Decorating the Cake:

Ingredients:

• Pillsbury Vanilla Funfetti Frosting
• Reddi Wip Whipped Cream
• Candy bits
• Chocolate curls - scrape 2 chocolate bars

My way of decorating:

This decoration is a simple one since it is my first attempt.

1. Once the cake is cooled, apply the funfetti frosting on the cake top.

2. Cover the cake sides and top finely with the frosting.

3. Then just spread the chocolate curls on the top.

4. Then again apply the frosting as second layer.

5. Then spread the candy bit toppings all over the cake top and sides.

6. Then add the chocolate curls at the borders.

7. That's it my yummy eggless lemon cake is ready to go.
