The most frequently bought cake decorating kit is the Wilton twenty three or fifty three piece cupcake and cake decorating kit. The Wilton cake decorating kits are the biggest selection of cake decorating needs.
Typically, cake decorating is not a college program of study. The most prevalent institutions that offer baking and decorating are vocational schools. Many are trained on the job.
Most craft stores and local colleges have cake decorating courses. One could probably register online, but it would be necessary to attend a class in person. Check out a store such as Michael's.
Yes, they are cake dummies. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. You can get them from AMAZON or most cake decorating websites and stores. Good luck!
Hi I have seen it done with rice paper (available in most cake decorating shops). Cut the rice paper into feather shapes. It is fairly simple really if you have done cake decorating before. Have a look at the website for cakes4fun and the dragons and daffodils website for inspiration. Hope this helps D
Most things are "store bought" for instance a cake would have store bought products in it. Not sure what you mean here.
I'm not positive I understand the question clearly, but if you're looking for a cake decorating supply store, I have ordered from A & H Cake Design. They are located in southwest Florida. If you have questions about how to make a particular flower or how to use any of the supplies, they will take the time on the phone to explain to you. You can also buy a large variety of cake decorating supplies at craft stores. There are Micheal's or JoAnn's throughout the state of Florida, and they both have a large selection. Most Wal-Mart locations have a decent selection of cake decorating supplies, as does Target.
There are variuos online places including Momtastic, Tasteofhome, Goodto where you can find best cake decorating ideas. You can go with any decoration idea but recommending to flourish it with Magic Sparkles edible glitter as it will add glam to your creations.
Not quite sure about where to buy them in Washington, but you might want to try shopping online if it isn't a desperate situation. Mission Restaurant Supply has a wide variety of cake decorating supplies and baking supplies. Unlike other restaurant supply stores, they also supply to the public so not all of their supplies are commercial supplies. They have plenty of stuff for your home kitchen.

Cake decorating is one of those oft-ignored culinary arts. Although the sight of a beautifully decorated cake delights almost everyone, most people are not aware of the long and intricate history of cake decorating. Cake decorating indeed has a long and colored history. Here is a brief overview of the history of cake decorating. The Roots of Cake Decorating What are the origins of cake decorating? Compared to other forms of food preparation, cake decorating is actually one of the newer culinary arts. Cake decorating can be traced back to the mid-17th century. This is around the same time, probably not coincidentally, that cake pans made their first appearance in domestic kitchens across Northeastern Europe. Beginning in the mid-17th century, cake decorating gained widespread popularity as a way to create elaborate desserts that were used as displays during the feasts and banquets of the wealthiest aristocracy. However, these were mainly used as display pieces. The Mid-19th Century Brings Cake Decorating to the Forefront The history of cake decorating, as we know it today truly got its start in the mid-19th century. This coincides with the period in which the French began to serve the dessert as a completely separate sweet course that was served at the very end of the meal. This is the time in which decorated desserts, namely cakes, began to appear on banquet tables with some kind of regularity. The Development of Temperature-Controlled Ovens Changes Everything In the 1840s, there was an important development in kitchen and cooking technology: the temperature controlled oven. This, of course, made baking much more pleasant and convenient. During this period, cake baking became easier and thus more popular. However, during this period, most cake decorating consisted of the elaborate and difficult old English method, which generally consisted of decorating with dimensional over piping. The cakes would generally be covered in rolled fondant, and the borders would be intricately over piped. Another important development during this same period is the introduction of baking powder and baking soda. This, of course, also makes baking cakes much easier. The Wilton Method Arrives in the Early 20th Century Around 1929, a business known as Wilton Enterprises began to advertise its own cake decorating classes. Their classes were advertised to enterprising chefs, caterers and other gourmands with an interest in baking and cake decorating. The cake decorating classes took off and became a great success among bakers and chefs. In 1947, the Wilton's began to develop and promote their own line of baking and cake decorating products. Wilton enterprises made a great splash, and by the 1960s, the so-called Wilton Method became a stand-by method of cake decoration. In 1983, the Wilton Company merged with the Copco kitchenware company. Then, in 1991, the company merged again with Rowoco, who changed the name of the company to Wilton Industries. The Lambeth Method Becomes Another Popular Decorating Method A few years after the Wilton school came into existence, Joseph Lambeth published a book that would become a classic of cake decorating. The book was known as The Lambeth Method of Cake Decoration and Practical Pastries. The book became widely popular with budding cake decorators, bakers and other gourmands. The book contained real step-by-step instructions and clear, oversized drawings and photographs that showed readers how the Lambeth Method of cake decorating was constructed. The International Cake Exploration Society Come Onto the Scene In 1976, a new organization known as the International Cake Exploration Society in Michigan came into the cake decorating scene. The organization is still active, and meets each year during their annual conventions. THIS INFO CAME FROM: http://www.cakedecoratingart.com/articles/a-short-history-of-cake-decorating/

First you need to look at the equipment that can be bought to assemble the cake, not only the bride and groom figures that go on top, but the post and plates that support the tiers. Most are standard sizes as are the pans in which the cake will be baked. If you are making the cake yourself to save some money, check out some of the hobby stores which sell cake decorating equipment, they will also have books for ideas on decorating cakes. With two professional cake decorators in the family I can tell you that if one does not have the equipment already expect to spend about $200 on basic items and about $100 on items to put the cake together. If you already have everything a cake that would sell for about $350 can be done for about $90 to $150. What makes cakes so expensive..... LABOR. It will take about 3 days to assemble. A large freezer is a big help as some icings must set before more decoration can be added. Good Luck!
