Imaginative Cake Decoration![]()
Easy Flowers Flowers, although there are many recipes and instructions on how to make iced roses they can be quite fiddly to make, if you are not confident enough to create iced roses or flowers I suggest using fresh ones. Simply pick your flowers; roses, holly, violets, lavender or even beautiful brown maples leaves for an autumn cake- it all depends on the season I suppose, and ensure that they are bug-free and clear of any debris. Whisk an egg white lightly, dip the stems of the flower/leave in and then lightly coat the petal/leaves using a brush. Secure the flowers into bunch and decoratively place on your cake. For a dramatic look use single rose petals or, as previously mentioned, unique leaves, once iced and dry place on and around the base of the cake for a contemporary look. Cake Boxes To create a contemporary celebration cakes and rather than producing one cake produce several portion sized ones. To do this, you simply need to bake your cake in a large rectangular tin, ensuring that you adjust the cooking times and temperatures accordingly. Once baked cut your cake into even square portions; try to create a piece for each person. For adult cakes you can ‘wrap’ the cakes all in the same icing; however if you have more time different colours can be fun for adults and children alike. I often enjoy creating, for my friends, lots of Tiffany jewellery boxes, using turquoise blue icing to create the distinctive box and white, iced or regular, ribbon to finish. Once you have chosen your icing colour of choice you simply wrap each cake up; a simple tip for this is to cut a square ensuring that it will cover the top level and sides of the cake. Use this as a template for the other cakes. To create perfect corners you can either use a proper wrapping method pushing the fold together to create an envelope point or you can pinch together the icing into a right angle and cut the excess off. Finish with ribbons and bows; placing them decoratively on a large plate. Creating ribbons Create ribbon with different coloured icing, cut into strips and place onto the cake; to create a bow take a length of the ribbon icing and join the ends together this will be the middle knot of the bow. The ribbon icing should now resemble an elastic band, place this joined section flat on the table and taking the icing at the point directly across from this joining- and ensuring there is equal length on either side- and press this into the joining also to create the two side bow sections. Take two lengths of the ribbon cutting them diagonally at the bottom and attach them to the middle of he bow also. To finish wrap a smaller measure of the iced ribbon around the joining.
