Oh how we envy those cakes that just make us want to run and get the old Kodak or whatever camera we happen to have laying around the house. We imagine being able to come up with decorating ideas like that. Well, it’s easier than you think. With a few simple tricks, you TOO can be decorating cakes just like a pro. Keep reading to learn some really cool tips.
One of the keys to a really great looking cake is the cake icer tip. I strongly recommend getting a number 789 icer tip. You absolutely cannot tell the difference between a cake YOU decorated with this tip from a cake decorated by a pro. Yes, you need a steady hand too, but the tip is going to make all the difference in the world.
What about those cupcakes that seem to spiral up to the clouds? You now the kind I’m talking about. They are really so easy to make. All you need to do is get yourself a star decorating tip. Hold it about a quarter inch above the cupcake at a 90 degree angle to the cupcake surface. Start at the outer edge and pipe out some icing all around the outer edge. Then, simply pull the tip away, bring it inside the outer circle and pipe another circle inside the outer one. If you like, you can pipe another circle inside the inner one if there’s room. I told you…simple.
What if you have a pattern that you want to use for your cake? This is so simple that it’s a joke. What you do is actually ice the pattern itself. Put the pattern on the back of a cookie sheet and start piping the icing onto it, making sure you put a disposable decorating bag over it first. Then, all you need to do is turn the bag over, with the design on it, and place it over your cake. When you’re done, lift the bag off the cake and the design will be transferred. Yes, it’s THAT simple.
These are just a few of the many tips that you can use to make you look like a professional cake decorator. If you’d like more great cake decorating tips, just below you’ll find a link to a great resource that will give you all the cake decorating tips that you could possibly want.
You don’t have to be a pro to decorate like a pro.
