Making cakes is fun, but to become a professional cake decorator takes some work. Learning how to decorate cakes starts with learning the basic techniques of cake decorating like icing, frosting, and filling. Then you have to learn about cake decorating recipes. You will need these recipes to know what to do and to be able to decorate your cakes beautifully.
Icing is a technique of adding frosting over plain or molded cake molds. Icing can also be added over a number of layers of plain cake that has been prepared and decorated. Butter Cream Icing is a light icing that can be used for very thin layers or on very thick cakes. The cream cheese icing is made by mixing cream cheese and butter together.
Decorating is another basic cake decorating skill that is practiced to create stunning designs. One of the main reasons that cakes are so appealing is the use of color and design. It is not uncommon to decorate an entire cake with only icing, frosting, and decorative items that do not have any edible value at all such as decorative flowers.
When decorating cakes quickly, many people try to use more than one type of icing. This is called “off-icing”. It is the practice of using more than 1 kind of icing or food coloring to decorate a cake. This can result in a cake that looks very strange indeed.
To make icing for cakes simple, it is best to start with buttercream. This recipe uses unsalted butter and sugar. Mix both the butter and sugar thoroughly until the buttercream begins to smooth and lighten. Then add a food coloring agent. Start making cakes by mixing the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. This will create lumps in the batter.
Next, you will want to add your cake decorating tools. One important tool to use when learning how to decorate a cake is a cake leveler. This tool will help keep you from over applying the cake frosting on your cake. Next, you should be able to make clean vertical cuts into your cake. Making clean cuts will make the case look more beautiful.
After this is done, it is time to add your cake decorating items. Again, this is easier if you make your own frosting and icing. If you are learning how to make your own cake decorations, you will want to make sure that you know how to use the cake decorating tools that you buy. You will need to practice how to make each design before applying them to your cake. There is nothing worse than applying icing to a cake and having to try to remove it with your fingers. Once you know how to make each design, it will not be as difficult to apply them to your cake.
Finally, if you have trouble baking and would like to learn how to decorate a cake, you can find books in your local bookstore or online. These books will provide you with many tips and tricks for cake decorating. Also, learning how to decorate a cake can sometimes be a trial and error process. Once you get the hang of it, you will be able to decorate cakes that people will surely rave about. With some time, practice, and patience, you will start to make amazing cake decorating creations and begin making your own cakes.
Make a cake that is not only delicious but beautiful as well. Decorating a cake is fun, but it is even more fun when you have made an amazing cake yourself. There is nothing like tasting homemade cake and seeing it on the dining table of your friends and family.
