Cake Decorating Instruction

The Perfectly Frosted Cake

Theresa Happe — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 17:33:02 +0000

For beginner cake decorators, one of the hardest things to overcome is uneven icing. It takes some practice to attain a nice smooth finish to the buttercream on the cake.

Chill the cake before you start frosting. A warm cake is more apt to break apart. Chill before and after filling it. Often, if you frost the cake right after you fill it, later on the filling will bulge out of the middle of the cake. By chilling first, the cake has time to settle and anything that wants to squeeze out of the sides can be smoothed with the spatula.

When working with any round cake, a lazy susan can make the job much easier. This tool allows you to turn the cake while you are frosting the sides so there are fewer start and stop marks on the cake. You may want to crumb coat your cake before getting started. Use either a very thin consistency buttercream to glaze the whole cake or brush it with thinned apricot jam. Thin the jam with hot water and strain it before applying it with a pastry brush. (You should also chill the cake after this step).

A quick way to get the icing on the cake is to use a large cake decorating tip to pipe it all over the cake before spreading it. The #789 Wilton cake decorating tip works great for this. It's such a big tip that you'll need to devote a cake decorating bag to it because the hole is much too big to hold a coupler. Once you cut the hole, just drop the tip right into the bag. If you're not using this tip then carefully place the icing on the side of the cake and push from the middle of the icing outward. You don't want to drag the spatula across the cake. That pulls crumbs into the icing and can tear the cake. Medium consistency buttercream works best. If it's too thin, it will slide off the cake. Too thick and it will tear the cake and be very difficult to spread.

Start piping the icing on the cake, starting from the base. Hold the tip against the cake so the lines are facing inward. Pipe all around the bottom and then start another line of icing all around the cake right above the last one. Continue all the way up the cake, going a little past the top of the cake. This extra overlap of icing at the top will help to make a cleaner edge on the cake. Now use either a metal spatula, a bowl scraper or a spackle knife held vertically against the side of the cake at a 45 degree angle to smooth the sides. Scrape off excess icing as you go. Continue going over the sides until they're pretty even.

Next, pipe icing on top of the cake. Using your spatula again, pull the icing from the edge of the cake towards the center. Each time you do this, wipe off the excess icing. After you've done this all around the edge, take the spatula and go straight across the top. Do this to the entire top of the cake. Any excess icing on the edge can be lifted off.

Not every type of buttercream crusts. If you do use crusting buttercream, you can do the next step to get the icing really smooth. Let the cake sit for at least 15 minutes. Touch the icing and see if it's hardened. If it comes off on your finger, wait a little longer. Now, take either a Viva paper towel (patterned paper towels won't work for this), wax paper or parchment paper and lay it on the side of the cake. Use the spatula again to smooth across the paper towel a few times. Move the paper towel to the next spot and repeat. Do this to the entire cake. The wax paper and parchment paper don't bend as easily but they will still work.

Cake Decorating Books – A Great Way To Learn!

Natalie Baker — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:44:55 +0000

If you want to learn cake decorating techniques you may think you need to spend a lot of money on DVDs or take classes in person. That isn't true. All you need are some good cake decorating books that are well illustrated and you can learn on your own and save time and money. Just be sure to buy books that are filled with easy to follow pictures. You can use the money you save on classes to buy some extra cake decorating tools.

All these books need to have instructions that are easy to understand. They should explain every step from preparing the cake for decorating to putting on the finishing touches, in a way that you can clearly comprehend. There is nothing worse than instructions that don't make total sense. You do not want to have to fight to recognize what the book is trying to say.

The books you choose should be filled with clear high quality photographs that show you how to do the cake decorating techniques you are trying to learn. The better the pictures are and the more of them there are, the easier it will be for you to learn. For that reason, you should ensure you buy a book that has pictures.

The cake decorating books should also show you how to prepare that cake to be iced. Like how the crumbs need to be brushed off prior to icing. Also tricks to stacking the cake layers right too. Decorating starts with the cake not the icing. The cake will look prettier when iced if the proper prep is done on it.

Recommendations should be made as far as which icings are good for decorating and which are not. Then the books should show the cake decorating techniques from piping to making flowers. These are often tricky to perfect so the more detailed the instructions the better it is.

There are many books that you can buy. Take your time and look through them and pick out a good one that will make it easy for you to learn on your own. You will be decorating your first cake much quicker than you would be by signing up for a class and for a lot less money too. Books are a great way to get started.

Just think about your child's next birthday party and you being able to show off a cake you decorated. You and your child will be so proud. You can make beautiful birthday cakes for friends and family too. An anniversary is another great occasion to decorate a cake for. Of course almost all occasions can use a fancy or fun cake.

These cake decorating books could even help you start your own business. Once word gets around that you are skilled at making beautiful cakes, your friends and family will want you to make cakes for their occasions too. Your cake decorating expertise could turn into a successful source of income.

If you want to start cake decorating ensure you check out Natalie Baker's website about Cake Decorating Books and how you can find out about beautiful Cake Decorating Techniques from them.

With the rise of all of these new TV shows that are centered around such talented people creating these amazing cakes, there are a lot of people looking for the right cake decorating course.

However, before you go to the store and buy that new cake decorating set, you really need to first find the right lessons.

You may remember the first cake you baked with your mother when you were a kid. She might have been really sweet about it, but it was probably pretty ugly, right?

Finding the right cake decorating course is not hard, but you have to know what to look for in the classes. For example, if you decide to take onsite classes, you will have to spend time away from your family while you attend classes.

If you take a class at a location, it may be more costly than taking classes online at your home. Additionally, you will not be able to move at your own pace because there will be other students to consider who may more more quickly than you do. If you fall behind, it will be difficult to catch up.

Taking online cake decorating lessons is easier because you are able to repeat the lessons if you get confused or just want to practice something a few times. If you get embarrassed easily, this will save you because you can take all the time you need!

If you are thinking about making cake decorating your business, you definitely need to have materials that you can refer back to and practice with so that you can master all of the techniques.

Your new hobby (or business) hinges on finding the best cake decorating lessons that you can afford.

If you want to start cake decorating lessons, then you need to not only learn how to make the cakes, but you also need the basic tools. The most necessary tools to get your started are listed on this website: CAKE DECORATING TOOLS.

Basic Skills On How To Decorate A Cake Like A Pro

Jane Heartford — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:47:58 +0000

by Jane Heartford

Professional cakes are not just for big money on extra-special occasions. You can learn simple cake decorating ideas that you can do yourself to make even an regular old boxed cake mix amazing. With a few simple tips and tactics and the simple cake decorating ideas in this article, you'll be able to make a Professional cake yourself at home.

Simple Cake Decorating Tips

For a simply beautiful way to cook a cake, spray your frosted cake with quality powdered sugar. Try using a stencil for a themed or geometrical pattern for the top of the cake. Remember making snowflakes of paper as a kid? Make one to fit the top of your cake and use it as a great stencil for a different powdered sugar pattern.

If you want a more detailed, 3 dimensional patterns, you can buy ready-to-use decorations and toppers for cakes in just about any theme you can think of. Candy designs and letters and numbers, sprinkles in unique shapes, and even small toys can be used to top your cake. For an especially yummy look, sprinkle the cake with nuts, coconut, nuts or shavings of chocolate. Or use fruit that is fresh, like a simple ring of slices of kiwi or an elaborate pattern of a few kinds of fruits. For a different style, design only the sides of the cake and leave the top smooth, or surround your simply frosted cake with fresh flowers or fruit.

Frosting The Cake

Most of the time, you'll want to start with spreading the frosting over all of the cake. To get a nice smooth surface, make sure the cake is cooled and that you're frosting overly thick. When the frosting is thinner it will spread more easily and end up with a smoother finish. First, put a very thin layer of the frosting all over the cake. The baking term for this is the crumb coat, and it will keep crumbs from getting mixed in with the frosting that you'll see on the finished product. At this point, you can refrigerate the cake to set the crumb coat and make it easier to apply the top coat.

Next, use a frosting utensil to put on the second coat of frosting. Start with a large amount of frosting in the middle of the top of the cake and spread it toward the edges. When the top of the cake is completely covered, cover the sides of the cake. To smooth the sides, hold the utensil straight up and down and hold the edge against the cake as you spin the plate. For the best look, try to get the frosting as smooth as possible all over cake. At the top of the cake you are preparing, hold the spatula in the horizontal position. And for the sides, hold it in the upright position. Dipping the spatula in hot water and drying it before spreading across the frosting for best results.

Getting smooth, even frosting on your cakes is probably the hardest part of cake decorating. Practice these tactics until you can get smooth frosting that looks perfect, and you might find that you don't even need anything else for an awesome, professional looking cake.

A Cake Decorating Business

Dave — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 18:42:04 +0000

Cake Decorating Business

Think you may have what it takes to open and make a success of a cake decorating business? Sure you may enjoy it as a hobby, but do you love it so much that you would be willing to work long hours with little or no pay? This is just one of the many questions you will need to ask yourself if you are thinking of turning your hobby into a business.

If you have a real passion for cake decorating, it will give you the energy and motivation to keep going when the going gets tough. You really need to know that, as you start out your home cake decorating business, you will have a lot of hard work to do, and you probably won’t make much money. Will your passion as a cake decorator carry you through, even if it means you are having trouble making ends meet?

Investment Capital

Do you have enough investment capital set aside for your initial expenses? Understand that you will need to buy at least a minimum of equipment and supplies to get started. If you are a smart shopper, you will be able to save a lot of money and get some great deals. But no matter what, there is going to be some initial outlay of cash. It is absolutely necessary that you have at least the bare essentials in place to start your home cake decorating business.

Location, Location and Location

Does your location provide enough walk in traffic for a business? Have you checked with your city to be sure local ordinances will allow you to have a business? Check into these details before you do anything else. There is no point in putting a lot of time and effort into a cake decorating business that you won’t be allowed to have. Once you have your permits, and licenses be sure you understand and abide by all the local laws and code enforcements.

Consider Your Family First

How will your family and friends feel about your devotion to your business? Will they resent the time you spend on making your business a success as a cake decorator? Be sure to consult with and include friends and family right from the start. In this way, you will encourage their support and avoid their resentment along the way.

The Passion to Carry You Through the Tough Start Up

If you begin a cake decorating business without having a driving passion for cake decorating, you run a big risk of disappointment. The initial start up capital will not be enough to keep you going. The only way for your home cake decorating business to be successful is for you to produce beautiful, high quality masterpieces that will please your customers and bring them back time and again.

Cake Decorating Tools

Dave — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 18:15:16 +0000

The right cake decorating tools for the job can make all the difference in the world. Just like daddy always said you got to have the right tool for the job if you expect to have any quality in your work.

For spectacular results, you will want to have only the best and highest quality tools. Excellent cake decorating tools are available in a number of places; one of the best places to start your search is online. The goal is to have an easy time making gorgeous cakes that will stun your customers, neighbors and friends.

The number one on the list in setting up your kitchen is a nice sharp set of good knives. Number two on your list is a good quality set of interestingly shaped pans. The reason for the better quality pans is they will save a lot of time and trouble. Plus you will get excellent results like the professional cake decorators who use plain pans and cut their cakes into shape. Your results will be as tasty as the hand-cut cake!

The importance of good quality sharp knives cannot be stressed enough here. Having all the right shape cake pans there will still be times when you need to cut or trim your cakes. If the knife you use is not sharp there is always the risk of ruining your project by tearing the cake. Having super sharp knives has many uses in cutting things like fondant used in the decorations.

Are you are one of those fortunate people blessed with a talent for fancy baking and a passion for creating delicious works of art through cake decoration? Then have you considered opening your own cake decorating business? Have you started looking for a vendor for your cake decorating supplies? You probably have no idea yet just how many choices you have in suppliers. We are luckily, there are quite a few.

Develop Relationships With Vendors

This provides a lot of options for people in the cake decorating business, knowing you will not have a problem with cake decorating supplies. Develop relationships with a few of the vendors with some small orders to see how they operate. With a few good suppliers in your little black book there is no worry of being caught without the supplies you need to complete a baking project.

Another big advantage of setting up relationships with a number of vendors is you can establish the quality of their supplies. In a new business we are caught up starting out using the least expensive products from vendors. This is not always the best idea. You could hurt your new business using inferior ingredients when starting out. Making a few small orders from a number of vendors you can determine the quality of their supplies before using them. This will save you from creating a masterpiece and shipping it to a potential long term customer with and inferior products. Knowing the quality will help you establish a standard in quality for your business.

The best idea is to have a second or third choice so you will always be sure to have a supplier no matter what happens in their business or yours. After you have sorted through some of the suppliers and found the ones that deliver the best goods. Now you can start sorting them by price. Some companies may require you to order a minimum amount, and this may be prohibitive as you are starting out in your business. You will not want to tie up too much capital in inventory.

Don’t just cross off the vendors from your list that have ordering requirements. Just move them to the back burner because as your business grows you will need them in the future. Starting out stick with the vendors that provide smaller orders and provide the quality you want for your business at first. Things like their customer service and how fast they fill your orders will be important to you before you start making bulk orders.

Some vendors provide samples which works great when starting out because you can get a number of samples from different companies to compare to. You will also find there are a number of them that let you do this online saving time and money. Armed with the knowledge of the best vendors with the best supplies will give you the extra boost you need starting out in business.
