Decorating cakes, especially if it is your first time to do so, can be overwhelming. This is especially true when you are making a cake as a surprise for someone, but that is perfectly fine.
The only thing you need to remember to keep it simple and yet attractive is to have some basic ideas on what kind of icing to use. This way you will not end up with a cake that looks odd or does not have the same taste as the one you started with.
If you want to stick with plain frosting then you can do this by using vanilla. This way you won’t have to worry about having to add any flavors at all, because vanilla is what every person wants. On the other hand if you want to add flavors then go with the more popular ones, like orange, cherry or lemon. These are popular due to their sweet taste, and also because they go well with chocolate as well.
If you want to add a little color to your cake then you can make use of some different colors. For instance you can put some berries or other fruit on top of the cake. It will just add some extra appeal and make it a lot more enjoyable for the taste buds.
Another thing you can do to your cake is to make use of the icing to change the look of the cake. For example, if you want the cake to look like a cupcake then you can do that by using some cake decorating tools. You can use a lot of different things, like marzipan pieces or cookie cutters. These can be made from different colors and can help to create some different looks in the cake.
If you are decorating cakes as a birthday or anniversary present then you can use the icing to make it look more elegant. You can buy icing that has different designs, or you can have it cut and shaped yourself. You can also use icing to make some edible designs, such as hearts, or flowers or other shapes.
When you decorate cakes, you need to keep in mind that the size of the cake is also very important. As said earlier, you want it to look elegant, and yet the size of the cake should not be too big. If it is too big you can end up with a mess and if it is too small you could end up with a disaster.
To decorate cakes properly you need to make sure that you have the right amount of icing and everything is done correctly. If you are going to make use of a lot of icing then you have to make sure that it’s not overdoing it. Otherwise it will just look like a mess.
As said before, you have to remember to always start decorating your cake after it has cooled off. Otherwise it might not be completely baked all the way through, so there is a risk that the decorations might come undone. This might make for an embarrassing time if you were trying to give the cake away as a gift to someone.
There are also different types of decorations available. If you are making use of edible decorations then you can use gum paste, candies, rinds and other small items to make your own decorations. You can find a lot of ideas for these items by browsing the internet.
Another thing you can do to decorate cakes is to make use edible homemade decorations. This means you can bake cupcakes, or miniature cakes, and decorate them yourself. You can find a lot of ideas for these by searching the web.
Finally, you can use some decorations from home. For example, you can make nice looking decoration out of chocolate covered strawberries or chocolate covered pretzels. All you need to do is put the decorations on top of the cake, but you can also make the decorations to match your theme. So if you are making use of red and white decorating themes then you can use different red and white icing on the cake to get a nice match.
