Cake Decorating

Decorating cakes can be fun and artistic as well as making the food look good. Cakes for all occasions are always an opportunity to be creative. Some ideas and tips…

CAKE DECORATING

Being an artist, creativity comes out in me even in food preparation.  Here are a few I made earlier, as the saying goes.  I think I am getting better at it over the years.  Practice and learning a few new techniques helps. 

COFFEE AND WALNUT CAKE

CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE

CHRISTMAS 1987

CHRISTMAS 1988. The little characters are all made out of marzipan.  I make my own from ground almonds.  Then individual colours are kneaded into it to use to mould the little figures.  The tree had silver ball cake decorations on it.  Children love to eat the decorations! 

SOMETHING QUICK AND SIMPLE USING BOUGHT TEDDY FIGURES

HALLOWEEN 1987.  The skeleton cake was made using plain marzipan on chocolate sponge and a round cake was cut into the shape.  The apple was added to the apple pie as decoration.  My nieces and nephew came to the party and went home with goody bags. 

A SIMPLE WEDDING CAKE IDEA.  The hearts were cut from coloured icing using a cookie cutter.  I have baked two tiered cakes and some more elaborately decorated ones since then. 

PEPPA PIG CAKE with fondant icing. 

PICNIC TIME.  More modelling fun!  The cake could be made with green fondant to make it look more like grass, but it is what the person who wants it prefers really.

EASTER CAKE.  This design is easier than you think.  Stack two cakes then cover half a chocolate Easter egg with fondant icing to complete the look. 

Some ideas from Youtube:

I will be trying out some of those great ideas.

ENJOY!
