I would love to share with you a few of my personal experiences with cake decorating. First and foremost, I would like to let everyone know that I am by no means a cake decorating expert. I have used cake decorating paste on plenty of sheet cakes, and I have probably designed more than thirty or forty cakes in my life.
Cake decorating can be an amazing and fun opportunity to bond with your spouse, children, brother, sister, parent, grandparent, or friend. It lets you pour creativity out onto a cake and let the world know what you are truly capable of. It will let you put on display your true amounts of creativity that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
The first thing you will need to do is find out what type of cake you are going to decorate. There are plenty of different options here. There are small, big, long, short, and fat cakes of many different sizes. You will want to see what ingredients that will be required. Do not forget the cake decorating paste. This can be a key ingredient that will really help you jazz up your final product. The key touches put on with a cake decorating utensil at the end will dazzle your audience.
Speaking of audience, it is very important that you know your audience very well. If the cake is for your spouse and they hate a lot of icing, it would not make much sense to put a lot of icing on. In this case, it might be nice to add a few touches here or there. This would be a situation where a little is actually going further. If your audience is very big on icing and elaborate schemes, you should really feed into this. Make a tall elaborate cake if you can. Dazzle it with icing flowers. Put several colors on the cake that really make it come together.
Having said all of this, it is apparent that cake decorating can not only be a stress reliever but also a great way to show your love for someone. Oftentimes, something from the heart, such as a cake, will go much further than something bought at the store. The cake will get consumed, and there will be joy from it. This is often much better than a silly present that may get put in the attic or sold in a rummage sale.
Once you are done with all of your cake decorating, you are left with the clean up. Make sure you thoroughly clean all of your tools and utensils so they are ready to go the next time you use them. You will thank yourself a hundred times over for taking a little time to make sure they are very clean and dry.
