|
Cake decorating has come a long way since the ultimate in cake design consisted of smoothing some frosting from a can on to the cake with a butter knife, sticking a candle in the middle (which you thought was a nice decorative touch) and you were done. Create a decorative cake that's that little bit more special is a lot more difficult these days as there are higher standards to be met. To produce a more impressive cake you are going to have to be a little more creative. Cake decoration has skyrocketed recently in popularity as more and more people are trying to hone their cake decoration skills to a new level. Here are some tips to take your cake decorating skills to a higher level. Cake Decorating Instructions Rules Rule # 1 - Stay Cool O.K let's say that you have been given the inspiration to have a go at some cake decoration in the kitchen. You have come to the decision that you want to bake and decorate your own cake from scratch. Perhaps you even thinking it's not going to be that difficult or complicated. What's the harm you think I can tell a few people I'm going to be baking a cake. Maybe you even promise to share your cake at dinner or to bring your creation to the next dinner party or potluck. Don't start to worry just stay cool. It is best not to offer your cake to other people if it is your first attempt at baking a cake. The best thing is to try out your new creation on yourself, just to be on the safe side. It's always best to avoid creating your first cake for some big or special occasion such as a birthday. All that happens is that you put yourself under undue pressure to produce the perfect cake. Rule # 2 - Remember That There Is No Such Thing as the Perfect Cake When you first arrive in the fabulous world of baking and cake decorating, you will find yourself being very critical of your baking and decorating creations. The heart of the matter is that the perfect cake does not exist. The different baking methods will not allow the perfect result. The very nature of baking means that each cake you bake and decorate will be slightly off or slightly irregular. Amateur and professional chefs alike all agree that this is what makes baking so exciting and interesting. Experienced pastry chefs all understand how to cover their tracks if the find their creations a bit irregular, they kmow that irregularities will happen. Rule # 3 - Start Off Slowly Toward Your cake Creation Keep your first cake uncomplicated, do not try to make some sort of elaborate affair. This is very important and could save you a lot of frustration. Make your first cake nice and simple with the minimum of decoration. That way you will not be setting yourself up for a big disappointment. Keep it fun and light at first, start by using ingredients that you have never thought of before. This could be something simple such as decorating with nuts and dried fruits and even edible flower petals. Rule # 4 - Look Through Books and Magazines But Don't Become apprehensive Looking through books and magazines can give you some inspiration for your first baking and cake decorating creation. Sometimes you can find all this information intimidating, just don't let it get to you. Modern day cake decorating has gone well beyond the usual butter cream variety. If you are interested in getting more involved in baking and cake decoration there are many fine publications that can give motivation about this endeavor. They can provide you with lots of ideas and instructions about how you can decorate your cakes.
