Even the most basic cake or brownies can look dramatic with the help of a piece of paper and powdered sugar. My grandma used to put paper doilies on the top of a cake and then gently sprinkle powdered sugar over the entire cake and doily. She would then carefully lift up the doily and the cake would be left with a delicate pattern.
If you don't have a doily (I'm guessing you don't...neither do I...), you can cut out basic shapes from a piece of paper. Or even print out a design or letter on your computer to cut out. Hearts, stars, four leafed clover, initials... the possibilities are endless!
Below is my grandma's famous Daffy Cake. To give it a more personal touch, I cut out a 'K' to lay on top of the cooled cake. I let my son sprinkle powdered sugar on top and I carefully removed the 'K' to reveal a fun personalized pattern on our cake. (and yes, I did cut out a piece of cake in the corner... I couldn't wait when it came out of the oven!)
Position your pattern on the cake or brownies and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
