Imagine having a rewarding, high-paying job that lets you use your creativity to decorate fun or elegant cakes and cupcakes. Welcome to the world of cake decorating!
As a cake decorator, you may be paid to create the centerpieces of some of the most memorable occasions of people’s lives. Cake decorators design, bake and decorate creations that are almost as much fun to look at as they are to eat

If you start your own cake decorating business or cupcake business you will enjoy the freedom of being your own boss and could earn $50,000 or more per year from home. And perhaps most importantly your cake decorating "work" will be fun, interesting, and personally rewarding.

As a professional cake or cupcake decorator you could design and decorate all types of cakes and cupcakes, or you might choose to specialize in decorating the type of cake you enjoy the most, such as:
  • Gourmet cupcakes
  • Baby shower cakes
  • Wedding cakes
  • Picture or character cakes
  • Children’s birthday cakes
  • Anniversary cakes
  • Cupcake bouquets
  • Whimsical or topsy-turvy cakes
  • And more
Cake decorators may also choose to specialize in a style or theme of cake decorating, such as gumpaste flowers, marzipan figurines, royal icing, fondant cut-outs, or intricately piped buttercream lacework or roses, just to name a few.

As long as you have the desire, you can become a cake decorator. No special education or experience is necessary to become a cake decorator. You can start a cake decorating, cake design, or cupcake business and become a cake decorator immediately
