A bit of learning and some tips on the right way to decorate cakes would be useful. I think most of us know what we need to do to make cakes but there are times when we get really frustrated because we don’t understand how to do it or maybe we just don’t have the proper tools. Let’s see what are the basic ingredients we should use and how to use them properly.
Cake decorating tools are what you will need to get started in decorating your cakes. A simple wire cutter for cutting up to six layers. One more essential tool that you should not forget to buy is the food processor. You can easily get a food processor from your local grocery store.
Most of the cake decorator’s palette has a mixing bowl that allows you to mix your cake batter easily. It is a must that you keep a sharp knife handy to cut off the excess bits of cake mix your butter and cream cheese together. I find this very important to avoid having too much of the dry mixture in my butter cream cheese. Don’t forget to put your baking soda and baking powder into the bowl so that your cake will rise properly. Make sure that you mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture well.
Another set of decoration tools you will need is the spatula, a baking tray, a mixing spoon, baking sheets, spatulas and forks. The spatula helps you spread the batter evenly. The tray is used to prevent burning.
Most cake decorators would suggest mixing their icing by hand. However, if you have the time to spend on learning then a mixer would be a good idea to reduce the risk of mistakes and make your decorations perfect.
You should also have a few containers that you could use to store your icing as they are not cheap and will last longer, some of them are made of plastic and other are made of cardboard. It is recommended that you use a small container that has a lid because it will allow you to be able to store it safely when it is not in use.
