The white base colour cake is never a mismatch for an occasion like an engagement party. However, to add a little bit of colour to the serene tasty engagement cakes, you can add little frosting flowers on the edge of the tiers. The flowers, if made of bright colours like red or orange, would do wonders. You can always mix and match with fondant designs in lace, motifs or some other designs. Most cakes have real flowers these days for the decoration but you can also try for flowers made out of frozen fondant that is edible.
