How do decorator’s make all of those crazy, gravity defying cake pieces that bring about ‘ooh’s and awh’s”? They use Rice Krispies treats! Or cereal treats as Cake Boss likes to say.
Using Rice Krispies treats as decorated cake accents is sometimes easier than using actual cake. The pieces are lighter, but sturdier, so they can be molded, shaped and positioned at difficult angles. Pieces of the Rice Krispies treats are solid (due to the marshmallow component) and can act as solid bases that supports can be inserted into.
Some people use pre-made cereal bars, but making your own from scratch is super simple and worth the extra work . . . especially if you’re just going to enjoy them as a low fat snack.
