Gummy candies are available in a variety of delicious flavors. Whether you love cola, banana or peaches, there’s something for everyone. For the birthday cake, choose the flavor which is most preferred by the birthday baby, and bake it. You can add sugar funfetti to the inside of the cake to turn it into a sweet, colorful surprise. Another great way to incorporate a fun gummy element is by decorating the outside of the cake with the gummies of your choice! Try going with a matching flavor, for example strawberry gummies for a strawberry cake, or mix it up with flavors that pair well. Try vanilla cake with fizzy cola candies for a fun take on a Coke float. You can also use the gummies to make fun cake toppers by melting them for a few seconds in the oven and swirling them to a pattern of your choice: delicious AND creative.
