Cake decorating is among the most popular art forms that use edible frosting or icing and other decorative objects to make decorative cakes more aesthetically appealing. Alternatively, cake can also be carved and molded into intricate three-dimensional objects, persons and places. This can often be done by a professional, since the skills are quite complex, and can even be done by the person who does not really have a baking skill.
Cake decorating was first practiced by people who lived in the Middle Ages in Europe. The technique, however, did not become popular until after the Industrial Revolution, when baking became easier and the process involved less effort. Nowadays, cake decorating can be done by almost anyone – from the beginner who is interested only in making beautiful cakes for special occasions to the person who has mastered the art of creating intricate cakes that are great for wedding parties, birthdays, Christmas gifts, Easter, etc. With this wide array of choices, cake decorators often feel intimidated.
To get over this feeling, it would be helpful to learn more about the different techniques and styles of cake decorating. In this way, you will have a better idea of what you want to do with your cake, and you will be able to choose the right design for your needs.
Decorating a cake is actually fairly simple. You can start with frosting the cake, then adding the decorative icing or fondant. If the cake is in white, then you will want to add the white fondant or icing, and if it is in color, then you will need to add the contrasting color icing. This will allow the cake to stand out more clearly.
Next, you can begin the process of carving the cake. The shape should be made first, before filling it with any filling, so that the cake is completely flat and smooth. The icing used for this should be soft, so that the decoration does not slip as it is being applied. To create the design, the baker may draw a circle or design on the top and sides of the cake. The decorator then makes several smaller circles around the circle, which are then used to form the decorative lines and shapes.
Once the decorations are complete, you can then use a small dollop of fondant to fill the remaining space where the decorative decorations are. After this is done, you will be able to arrange the decorative elements and decorations. in a manner that is appropriate for the theme of the cake. Sometimes, it is best to use one color of icing for the decorations, although the colors of icing used for the decorator may vary depending upon the style of the cake.
Some people prefer to use only one type of decorative items, such as flowers or ribbon, while others use many. A great idea is to use decorative items that are in the same color family, such as flowers and ribbon with different colored icing for different parts of the cake. The colors used should complement each other, so that the overall effect is striking. Some people also find that using different colors for the decorations makes their case look more attractive.
When you are choosing decorations for your cake, it is important to keep in mind that the decorative objects should not distract from the overall theme of the cake. It should compliment the cake and not overshadow it. In addition, you should make sure that the colors on the cake do not interfere with each other. since the decorator is responsible for making sure that the decorations do not change the taste of the cake.
