Please be careful while handling sharp objects like knives and always remember to check for any allergies your guests may have before adding almond slivers to your cakes.

1

Prepare your cake

Bake your favorite cake and let it cool completely. It's important to work with a fully cooled cake to avoid any crumbling or melting of the almond slivers.

2

Gather the almond slivers

Make sure you have enough almond slivers to cover the surface of your cake. You can find them at your local grocery store or grind whole almonds into slivers using a food processor or a sharp knife.

3

Apply a crumb coat

Before adding almond slivers, apply a thin layer of frosting or buttercream to the entire cake. This will lock in any loose crumbs and provide a smooth base for the almond slivers.

4

Arrange the almond slivers

Take a handful of almond slivers and gently press them onto the sides of the cake. Start from the bottom and work your way up, making sure to overlap the slivers slightly for a seamless look. You can also create patterns or designs by arranging the slivers in different shapes or angles.

5

Add a finishing touch

Once you've covered the sides of the cake with almond slivers, you can also decorate the top of the cake with a sprinkle of slivers or create a border around the edges. Get creative and have fun with it!
