Cake Products For Cake Decoration
Nothing brings more satisfaction than being able to create your own masterpiece. Decorating cakes and making chocolate shapes is a great way to express creativity and bring joy into the lives around you. There are many companies that offer cake decorating and candy making products that will make creating your masterpieces even easier.
Everyone knows the most important part of the cake is the foundation. The way your cake is prepared determines how well the finished product will be. Be sure to use a cake tray that is specifically meant for cake decorators and that has straight sides. This will ensure a smooth decorating surface. After a cake is baked often times the cake domes up in the center and has to be trimmed. To remedy this you can purchase baking strips that are wet strips placed around the edge of the cake pan. These moist strips keep the temperature consistent throughout the cake and prevent the ‘dome’ effect. If your cake does become domed, you can use a cake leveller to make the top level. Simply move the wire on the leveller to the desired height and use a sawing motion to cut off the excess.
There are two different ways to decorate a cake – icing and fondant. If you are planning to use icing, there are many products to help your cake look spectacular. Meringue powder is a great tool to add to butter-cream icing. This helps the frosting “crust”, and the frosting can be easily smoothed with a sheet of parchment paper. An icing comb can also help make the cake look more professional. To use this tool, simply hold it parallel to the side of the cake, and twirl the cake as you scrape off the excess icing. This will create a beautiful design that will mask any flaws in the cake. Decorating tips can then be used to complete the decoration of the cake.
If you are decorating the cake with fondant, there are many different tools that can be used to make this process easier. To roll out the fondant, a silicon cutting and rolling mat can be used. This keeps the fondant from sticking and becoming difficult to work with. It’s important to have the fondant the same thickness all the way around. A rolling pin with thickness guides can be used to help keep your fondant the same thickness. Simply choose the desired thickness, and slide the thickness ring onto each end of the rolling pin, and the fondant will come out exactly the same thickness. You can then decorate with icing, or more fondant. To place fondant shapes on the cake you can use fondant cut-outs.
Making chocolate is not without its own set of products for your convenience. Chocolate dipping sets make chocolates that look a lot more professional, and that are less messy. Silicon moulds make removing poured chocolates easier. And to add that extra touch, decorating squeeze bottles allow you to drizzle another colour of chocolate on top. Whatever you’re creating, you’re sure to be able to find a lot of great products to help you on your way.
