The Basics of Cake Decorating

Cake decorating is perhaps one of the most popular and rewarding creative arts today. Cake decorating involves the use of frosting or icing and decorative objects to create beautiful edible decorative designs. Alternatively, decorated cakes can be carved and molded into realistic, 3-D persons, places and objects.

There are two basic types of decorated cakes: the fondant and the cupcake. Fondant is a type of cake that is made by mixing eggs, flour, sugar and water. The cake is then beaten until it holds air bubbles. When the cake batter is ready, it can then be folded back into the cupcake pan, which can then be decorated with icing.



Cupcakes are a very popular form of cake decorating today. Cupcakes are usually a single layer cake and are sometimes decorated using edible decorations. There are a number of ways to decorate a cupcake. One of these methods involves filling the cupcake with a layer of chocolate. This is done by rolling out thin chocolate cookies and placing them on top of the cupcake before it has finished baking.

Other methods include adding a layer of ice cream on top of the chocolate, placing a small amount of chocolate on the outside edges of the cup, or even putting a small amount of chocolate in the center of the cupcake. This process is known as ‘carving’ and it can take many hours to complete.

In addition to these traditional forms of decoration, cake decorators are also able to create abstract designs. These designs can take the shape of fruits, vegetables and various other edible decorative objects. Some examples of abstract designs include flowers, butterflies, and various animals.

Another common form of cake decorating is known as ‘cookie decorating’. When decorating cookies, the decorator uses different types of cookie cutters to create interesting shapes. These shapes can often be combined with icing to produce different effects, such as creating an image, a silhouette or some type of design.

Another form of cake decorating that is becoming increasingly popular is the creation of’mini cakes’. Mini cakes are cakes that are typically much smaller than normal cakes and are often given as gifts or given as treats at special occasions. They are often much smaller in size because they are made with only a few layers. Most mini cakes can be decorated using edible decorations, including fondant and frosting.
