How Early Can I Decorate the Pretzels?
The Versatility of Birthday Cake Decorated Pretzels
- First I’ll add the obvious and that is to simply put them in a jar and place them on the dessert table.
- Use a serrated knife and cut off the pretzel rods, decorate pretzels and place them around the outside of a frosted layered cake. BAM!
- Hand out as party favors. You can purchase cellophane bags made specifically for pretzels. Add a thank you tag and you’re set!
- Create a centerpiece! Fill containers (like jars or buckets) with the decorated pretzels and line them down the center of a table. Perfect for a kids birthday party!
HOW TO MAKE BIRTHDAY CAKE DECORATED PRETZELS
- Pour candy into a microwave safe bowl.
- Heat 1 minute on high and stir. Heat an additional 30 seconds at 70%, stir. If needed heat another 30 seconds at 70%. Stir until no lumps are present.
- Spoon melted candy over pretzel rod.
- While the pretzel is still wet add sprinkles.
- Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to harden.

At what point do you add the cake mix? It’s not in the description or on the recipe card. Thank you in advance.
HI Ramonda, Thanks for catching that. I added it to the recipe card.☼
Hi, I was wondering if you are using solid shortening or liquid shortening?
Hi Dana, Huh…I didn’t even know there was such a thing as liquid shortening. I use solid shortening. It’s important to use a fat that will solidify.
