Decorate Cakes Like A Genius!

Oh how we become so jealous of those cakes beautifully decorated by someone else that just make us want to run and get out the camcorder or whatever camera we happen to have lying around our home. We fantasize being able to come up with decorative ideas like that. Well, it is much more easy than you think. With a few tricks of the trade, you TOO can be decorating cakes just like a genius! Keep reading to learn some very cool cake decorating ideas.

One of the keys to a really great looking cake is having the proper the cake icer tip. I recommend without reservation 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 professional genius baker. Yes, you do need a steady hand as well, but the tip is going to create all the difference in the end result.

What about those cupcakes that seem to spiral up to the tops of clouds? You know the kind I am chatting about. They are so easy to make! All you need to do is get yourself a "star" decorating icer tip. Hold it about a quarter inch above the cupcake at a 90 degree angle to the surface of that delicious cupcake. Start at the outer edge creat squeeze out some icing all around the outermost rim. Then, simply pull the tip away, bring it inside the outer circle and pipe another stripe inside the outer one. If you like, you can create another circle inside the inner one if there is room. I told you it was easy, so easy. :-)

What if you have a preconceived pattern that you want to use for your cake? This is so simple that it is a laugh. What you do is actually ice the pattern itself. Put the pattern on the back of a cookie sheet and begin to pipe the icing onto it. Make certain you put a disposable decorating bag over it to begin with. Then, all you need to do is turn the bag over, with the design already on it, and place it over your cake. When you are done, lift the decorating bag off the cake and voila! the design will be transferred. Yes, it is THAT simple.

These are just a few of the many ideas that you can use to make your work look like that of a professional genius cake decorator.
