Cake Decorating for Newbies

Article Category: Cooking

Isn't a well-decorated cake delightful to the eyes? Whether you have a sweet tooth or not, it's just tough not to be impressed at the sight of a sugar craft that has all sorts of colors, figures, and designs. No wonder more and more people are getting into cake decorating. It can be such an amazing form of art!

If you are new to baking, you shouldn't be overwhelmed by the idea of decorating a cake. Bear in mind that the most crucial thing to initially focus on is the foundation - the cake itself. Hence, take time to perfect baking one. Whatever comes out of the oven must be evenly baked. It should be golden brown; neither too light nor too dark. The texture should provide a smooth foundation for the icing and other flourishing.

Basically, a good cake foundation is one that has hardly any crumbs. Both the top and the bottom should also be flat. If you have never baked before, feel free to start with a cake mix and just follow the instructions on the box. This is the fastest and easiest way to get a good cake to work with.

Remember to opt to work on something small and simple if it's your first time to b decorate a cake. Apart from making your job easier, you won't have to feel awful in case things don't turn out well. Moreover, if this misfortune happens, at least you won't have a hard time finishing the cake by yourself or with the help of some friends.

Anyway, once you already got a perfect, small foundation, remind yourself not to rush too much. After all, your cake has to cool down entirely first before being decorated with any thing. Some bakers even freeze their cakes before putting any icing or accessories, and since your piece is small, you can try the same method too.

If you intend to cut or shape your cake into something else, wait for it to totally cool down. Then, use a leveler or serrated knife for trimming. This will make cake decorating a lot more efficient.

Before getting down to the real business of decorating the cake, make sure to put a layer of icing on it. This will function as your crumb catcher. The icing will keep the crumbs close to the cake and prevent any bulging. After the first layer of icing, let it set for a few hours again.

Finally, if you want to build more confidence before baking or decorating any piece of sugar craft, you might want to enroll in some specialized classes first. There are now cake decorating courses being offered offline and online. If you want to go through formal training, then they can be of big help to you. They will not only equip you with the necessary skills but also improve your portfolio.
