How important is it to make a beautiful cake? When your friend or family is having a birthday party, or something really nice happened to your colleague at the company, or important moments like your wedding anniversaries, an elegant and beautiful cake can really enhance the festive atmosphere.

Cake decorating has always been one of the most demanding steps in making a cake. You have to prepare a large number of materials and tools that are usually rare for the average household. However, what I would like to present to you today is a fairly simple recipe, a decorated cake without complex decoration needs.

To make this cake, you won’t need a cake stand, or sets of pastry tubes you’ll probably never use, or a special spatula, and you won’t need to practice wiping the cream to make it smooth. This is a simple yet elegant cake, definitely attractive to look at and one hundred percent guaranteed to be delicious.

I call it “white forest of honey beans”. It is made of chiffon cake, honey beans, light cream, covered in white chocolate chips, and fresh cherries as decoration. Delicate, soft, sweet and delicious, in short, this simple recipe is very easy to learn at home.
