Practice, practice, practice!

Practice icing a cake on a turntable

Practice evening out your cake or layering your cake

Practice baking a cake in different cake pans and shapes

Practive icing your cake with different frostings, such as buttercream, fondant of whipped icing.

Practive making different types of cake borders

Getting Ready

Always make sure you have all your cake decorating tools and bakeware ready to go and close by. The last thing you want to be doing in the middle of icing your cake is looking for a piece of paper towel.

You will want to have on hand and ready:

Cake mix and all the ingredients

Frosting

Spatulas and knifes

Icing bags

Icing tips

Paper towel

Dowles (if you're doing a tiered cake)

Cake board

Food coloring

Spoons

If you're planning on making any edible decorations out of gumpaste or fondant then it's best to make them before making and icing the cake.

Ideas... and more ideas!

It's better to have a plan ahead of time when it comes to cake decorating. I've tried winging a few cakes and some have turned out great and some have been a complete disaster!

*Choose a theme you want to go with

*Find and pick a color scheme if you can

*You don't have to be an artist but it's always nice to draw out what you envision your cake looking like, that way you can make changes on paper rather than on cake

*Decide if you're using fondant, buttercream, or royal icing.

*Any decorations should be (and some need to be) made in advance.

Once you have all your ideas on board it's time to start baking and decorating!

Cake Preparation

Your cake is like a painter's canvas, much like how you will create beautiful lines and icing decorations. Follow these steps in preparing and icing your cake, and of course the key to your decorating success!

Leveling Your Cake

Crumb Coating Your Cake

Hopefully these easy cake decorating techniques will have you inspired and decorating wonderful and beautiful cakes and cupcakes that put a smile on your face and others!
