How to Decorate a Cake the Easy Way

Cake decorating has been a favorite pastime for centuries for many people, especially children. Today, you can purchase cakes at any local bakery or specialty bakery in your area. Or, if you prefer, you can make your own cake with some simple cake decorating ideas.

Cake decorating is an art form that involves frosting or icing and other edible decorative items to create more visually fascinating cakes. Rather than using a recipe, some bakeries actually have cake decorating kits that include everything you need to begin. Other bakeries have an artist who will create a custom design on your cake for a small charge. Some bakeries have a cake decorating service that will make a customized cake for your special day, and they will also do icing decorations. If you do not mind cooking and baking, you may be able to find a cake decorator on Craigslist or Kijiji to help you create a cake from scratch.



Basic cake decorating ideas include adding a border or decorative pattern to the cake, as well as making decorations for the edges, corners and the entire cake itself. There are also some very popular ways to decorate a cake by having your cake decorated by a baker from your area, or at least getting a good idea from your local baker.

The easiest way to decorate a cake is to have it cut and then use decorations around the cake. To decorate a cake, all you need are a few decorations to get started. This may include decorations made from fondant or chocolate, sponge, mini marshmallows or other confectionary. Also, you will need to add icing and decorations to the sides of your cake, which is where the “flair” comes from!

Once you have your cake shaped and decorated, the next step on how to decorate a cake is to add icing to the outside of the cake, making your design more pronounced. You can either use the frosting to stick to the cake or you can use fondant.

If you want to decorate a cake to include a design or shape, you may have to cut a couple of corners before beginning, so that you can see what you are doing. Once you have done this, you will cut the cake into four sections: top, bottom, sides and two flutes.

Next you need to decorate your corners, which are the areas where you will put your designs. Use a decorating tool called a biscuit cutter or a straight-edged knife to create designs like hearts and flowers, and then put icing around them to add the decorations. These decorations can come in any form such as small leaves, stars and angels. The icing will be very important, as your cake will be completely covered with it when it is all cut up.

Using your tools, you can now start creating your design, which should look like a picture or design in the shape of your cake. To complete your design, you can use decorations you have already created around the edges and in the flutes and decorate the edges of the cake with icing and glue. Once you are done, apply the icing to the cake to give it a finished look and then carefully decorate the sides of your cake, putting in a border of icing if you wish to.

Once you are done decorating the top, bottoms and flutes of your cake, the next step on how to decorate a cake is to make a “crumb” which is the part of the cake that is between the decorating tools. This crumb can then be decorated with any design that you have created by using decorations, but you can also use your fondant to decorate the crumb if you are using fondant or a different method.

You will find that once you are finished decorating the cake, you can’t wait another minute to eat it! It’s not only fun but it’s nutritious too. As you eat it, you get the benefits of having delicious treats inside your body without all the unhealthy sugar! and calories that you would get to eat a cake that has no decoration or icing on it!

Learning how to decorate a cake is very easy. You can do it by yourself by reading books or watching a video, and by purchasing a DVD, you can learn the techniques and tips at home, or at a party.
