Cake decorating can be described as one of those sugar arts where either frosting or icing is used to create beautiful decorative cakes and more visually appealing than plain cakes. Alternatively, cakes may also be molded into different shapes and sculpted into various 3-D objects, characters and places. It’s a skill that many people find enjoyable and interesting, and it can also be a lucrative occupation.
Cake decorating may seem intimidating, but it’s all about using your imagination and creativity to create something special. You will need some tools such as a cookie cutter, a piping bag, and some basic cake decorations that can be found at most supermarkets and specialty shops, and you will also need a few decorations for decorating the rest of the cake. Most cake decorators also use some sort of embellishment for decoration, and sometimes even flowers, ribbons, bows, bells or other decorative items are added to help make the cake look more elegant.
For beginners, it is a good idea to start with a basic set of tools and simple decorations to get an idea of how to do things and what tools and decorations to buy. If you are a beginner, you will also need to learn how to mix the correct type of icing and flour for your chosen icing or cake decorating theme. You will need to know the right amount of icing and flour to get the right results for your cake.
Once you have gotten a feel for how to cake decorating works, it’s time to start shopping for the basic tools and decorations to work with. You can choose from just plain frosting, fondant, and a few decorative items for decorations to put on top of the cake if you want to, or you can even add in different types of decorative icing and decorate your cake using different types of decorations like shells, flowers, hearts and so forth.
As you go through your cake decorating ideas, you might even find that you’re not that happy with the way your decorating came out. Or perhaps you realized that you have overlooked a tool or a decoration that will enhance your cake decorating ideas.
