Cake decorating is perhaps one of the most popular sugar arts which uses edible or colored frosting or icing and other decorative items to create more visually attractive cakes. Or, cakes can also be carved and molded to look like three-dimensional characters, places, objects and people. You can also make your own cakes to adorn your home or for other special occasions.
This creative process is not as hard as it looks. There are many step-by-step guides on how you can make cake designs yourself. These guides can be found in books or magazines. However, if you are a complete novice with this skill, you may want to consider hiring someone else to help you. In that case, you will need to pay him or her an hourly rate.
For a beginner, it would be easier to start with simple cake decorating. You can use basic recipes from home and just modify them so that they look better. You may even opt to add extra decoration items such as decorative frosting, flowers or fruits. This way, you can save time and effort. You can even create multiple cakes if you wish to do so.
Once you have the basic cake design down pat, you can then move to making more elaborate decorations. For example, you can use small flowers to line the bottom of a cupcake box. This will make it look more attractive. You can also use different colored candles and other decorative items to create a beautiful ambiance inside the box.
Once you have decorated your cake, you may then put on your colorful cake decorator’s hat. It is important to make sure that you apply the correct amount of frosting on the icing. If the frosting is too thin, it will not look smooth.
Next, you will want to apply the decorative element on the cake with a decorating sponge. Be sure to make it as smooth as possible. Do not skip any part of the design. For example, do not place a flower in the middle of a layer. Do not also forget to cover it with the other decorative element.
After you have decorated the cake with the decorating tools, you will then want to bake the cake. Do not allow the cake to cool in the pan. For example, do not let it sit in the pan for hours before you frost it. Do not leave it to sit around in the fridge. Instead, take it out a few minutes before baking.
When it comes to decorating the cake, always be creative. Try to think outside of the box when it comes to designing. Be sure to take some of the time to try out new ideas.
For example, you can decorate the cake with icing patterns that will create a unique look. You can also use different types of fondant in order to create an interesting look and design.
To help you get started with your own cake decorating business, there are several companies that will give you a cake decorating supplies kit at a discount price. The kits will include everything you need to start off creating a wonderful looking cake.
There are many other things that you will want to take into consideration before you begin your decorating business. Things like the temperature of the room in which you will be decorating your cake, the type of decorations, whether or not you will be using frosting and icing and other decorative tools, and any additional decorating accessories you may need.
Once you have decided upon these things, you are ready to set about your cake decorating business. Just keep in mind that you should never try to rush it.
