Cake Decorating

Cake decorating is a type of art that uses icing or frosting and other edible decorative ornaments to make plain cake visually interesting and pleasing to the eye. Cakes for decorating can be made in molds and/or sculpted to resemble an enormous variety of shapes in various sizes, and are decorated by using color schemes created by mixing food coloring in the frosting or icing. Decorated cakes are often a focal point of special celebrations including weddings and birthdays. Special classes are available for learning the art of cake decorating, but many people are self-taught.

It depends on the type of cake, and how good the decorator is. For cake with simple designs and icings, they should be able to complete anywhere from 3 or 4 to a dozen (for small sizes) cakes in an hour. For more elaborate designs or impornant, larger cakes (graduations, baby showers, weddings, ect.), it should take them a few hours just to complete that one cake.

Where can you locate a cake decorating store sale in Florida?

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How do you decorate a cake with zebra stripes with frosting?

User Avatar

Asked by Pumpkinspice09

Frost your entire cake with the primary color you wish to use. Pipe the secondary color on the cake in straight parallel lines. Turn the cake so that the stripes appear to be going from top to bottom. Take a small thin device, toothpicks work well, and carefully pull it through the surface of the icing. Go in a line from right to left. Move about an inch up and pull it through the icing going left to right. Keep going in lines switching directions. It will pull the lines of color through the primary icing. It would create an effect much like the cake labeled "Toothpick Frosting" in the related links below, except it would be striped instead of spiral.

For a more realistic zebra skin effect, you could also try the aerosol icing colors that are available at most grocery stores. You would frost your cake white and then basically "airbrush" the stripes where ever you would like them. It is fairly simple to use, even if it may be your first time.

Baking a smash cake for 1 year old and they do not want me to use fondant i need to use a frosting that is soft and be able to decorate it Any suggetions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you could use any kind really. royal, satin, butter-cream, or even whip cream. if you are going for a more elegant look try using royal and/or satin. royal icing is easy to get smoothed onto the cake. whip cream will leaves air bubbles, won't go on smooth, and has tendency to melt. hope this helped! (:
