About a year and a half ago, my then 10-year-old asked to frost a cake I'd made. She wanted to decorate it, but we had no frosting tools.
I suggested she use the ol' snip-the-corner-off-a-sandwich-bag trick.
This is what she came up with:
With a sandwich bag! Well, three. One for each color. We took it with us to our Easter fellowship dinner after church!
It turns out that our local Walmart has a cake decorating aisle. I bought my budding baker some frosting tips for less than $5 and turned her loose. I also have a friend who is a professional that gave her a few pointers. Talk to your local bakeries and hobby stores and ask about a class.
She also likes ideas that require no special tools.

The nice thing about cake-decorating kids?
Their supplies are inexpensive, readily available, and pretty easy to clean up. Also, their "mistakes" are delicious!
