Cake decorating is a combination of art and science, where the skillful can create beautiful cakes by decorating with icing and other decorative tools. On the other hand, simple cakes are sometimes made by using simple tools and techniques. Either way, there are a number of basic principles and tools you need in order to create stunning and creative cakes.
Cake decorating involves various types of tools such as icing bags, decorating stands, and other decorating materials. One of the most important and essential tools in this type of baking is the icing bag. Basically, an icing bag is used for applying icing and decorating to a cake, making it attractive and colorful. Instead of using regular paper icing, the icing bag can hold different kinds of colors and even other substances that would be added to the icing.
Aside from the icing bag, another important tool is the decorating stand. The decorating stand allows the baker to place the cake on its stand to be able to decorate it. There are some stands that can hold up to five layers of decoration or frosting at the same time.
Next, you have to use the decorating tools in your hands to shape and mold the cake to your liking. There are different types of tools and techniques that are used in cake decorating. You can use different tools like a knife, spatula, cookie cutters, etc.
One of the tools that you must know is the spatula. This tool can be used to spread icing and buttercream on a cake. A spoon or fork is used to apply decorative tools or icing to the cake.
If you want to add decorations to your cake using decorative tools, there are two different types of tools that you can use. One of these tools is the rolling pin, which is similar to a cookie cutter. The other tool is called a palette knife, which is similar to a measuring cup and has small holes to allow decorators to fill the cake with different decorative tools.
The most important thing when decorating cakes is patience because cakes take time to bake and cool before they can be sliced. Aside from icing and decorating tools, there are other tools that are needed to help you decorate your cake. Some of them are decorating spoons and scraper that help you remove any bits of icing and buttercream from the cake when it is done baking. Scrape-off brushes are also essential, especially if you are going to be applying decorative tools to a cake with fondant or milk chocolate or icing.
Also, it is very important to have enough supplies of icing and other ingredients when decorating cakes. In the kitchen, you can either use containers that you can pour icing into, or you can mix it with water to avoid spilling it all over the kitchen floor. One thing that you must remember is that icing should always be used sparingly and not poured in large quantities. In the end, it is important to decorate cakes properly because you don’t want your decorating project to be messy.
