How To Decorate Cakes - Best Frosting To Use When Decorating Your Cake

Those of us who are into cake decorating, think of the beautiful icing designs when we think of cake. Icing is the finishing touch on cakes, cookies, and cupcakes. There are several different types of icing used in cake decorating. The choice of icing while cake decorating, will have a great deal to do with how the decorated cake will look.

1. Buttercream Icing: Buttercream is the icing that is used the most in cake decorating. This is the same type of frosting that we can buy readymade in the grocery store. This icing is easy to use and easy to make. The ingredients are confectioners sugar, and butter or shortening. What you use to thin the frosting will differ with the icing texture you need to work with, to determine whether to use eggs or milk. Take care when thinning the frosting, remember, a little milk goes a long way. If you find the frosting is too thin, you can add a bit of confectioners sugar to thicken it.    To assure an even finish on your frosting, dip the icing spatula in cold water to make the      surface smooth. This will give a smoother finish for writing. Buttercream is used to                 create flowers and other decorations made with a pastry bag. The icing needs to be the                  right consistency to make flower petals or writing. When you make roses out of icing,           you can freeze them and add them to the cake later. This will make them easier to handle.         Buttercream can be stored in the refrigerator without getting hard. Make sure it is back to        room temperature before you attempt to use it.

2. Foam Icing: This is a meringue and is used on lemon pie or Baked Alaska. This frosting is made of egg whites beaten into stiff peaks. It is possible to add flavoring and color to the meringue. You will not be able to use this icing for intricate cake decorating, and you won't be able to use an icing bag with this icing. This icing is used when you want the cake to look fluffy, with little ornate decoration.

3. Fondant: This icing is very popular with those who decorate wedding cakes, and cakes for very special occasions. The ingredients are simply powdered sugar, water, cream of tartar, or glucose. Fondant is thick and doughy, with a silky, smooth, texture. Fondant will give the cake a flawless surface, and soft, rounded edges. Working with fondant is an art and will take practice to get it right. Fondant has a translucent quality, and will work best when placed on the cake over a thin layer of buttercream frosting.

4. Fudge Icing: Fudge icing is made from chocolate, peanut butter, almond, or mint. This icing is quite thick and contains both shortening and butter.

5. Glazes: This frosting is thin and watery, and will harden into a shell after it is placed on the cake. This frosting is mostly used on pastries. Glazes help to keep the pastry moist.

6. Flat Icing: This icing is similar to a glaze, but it is a bit thicker. Flat icing is a combination of confectioner's sugar and water and is used to drizzle onto pastries.

7. Royal Icing: This is also a flat icing, and hardens after it is set. Royal icing is a wonderful choice to make flowers, sculptures, and garnishes for cake decorating.

You can use any combination of the basic seven icings listed, to create a personal masterpiece. You will need to practice before you become good at cake decorating. You will get the hang of it sooner than you think, and even the mistakes will taste great.

About the Author

If, you want more great advice on decorating a cake you should check out my website http://learnhowtodecoratecakes.info with loads of helpful advice and cake decorating techniques

What are those things called you put at the end of a pastry bag to make designs with frosting?

You know all bakers use the little screw on things at the end of pastry bags to make fun designs with frosting? What are those called? I know that each one has a number. Like #54 or #2... e.t.c

They are called decorating tips. And while you can buy a starter set, it's usually easier and cheaper to buy them individually. Your best options are looking to see if you there is a cake decorating store in your area. If so, it would be great to go there and see your different options (there are all sorts of ways to do it, with pasty bags that greatly vary from one time use to high quality). Also tips come in both metal and plastic, metal getting the best results and IMHO being easier to work with as they are heavier in the bag. Plus, at a store, they could give you some instructional help, though that is an easy move. I'll get back to that in a second.

If there isn't a store like that near you, Micheal's has a pretty good selection of Wilton products. They aren't my personal fav, but for something like what you want to do, it should work fine. You other option is to order online. There are TONS of baking supply sites online, many which offer recipes and tips, so you might want to explore them as well as order (if you have time to mail order, you don't mention if you need this soon).

BTW most of those sets where you screw on the bottom are the hardest to use (and least professional). You just drop the tip in a pastry bag, fill with frosting, twist the top and you're good to go. In a pinch you can even use a plastic bag! There is one high end screw on, but if that's not it I'd avoid those.

I'd love to give you a number, but there are TONS that will make that pattern. Is it for a cake that size or a smaller one? The difference in them is the size. And depending on what size cake you plan to make, you need to get a tip that won't be too big or too small.

I know a lot of the baking sites have pics of this. I'll see if I can find one or two showing how to get that look you want. I'll edit the links in below when I find them.

This is one of my fav baking sites both for supplies and instructions. Go to this page, http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/misc/tips.htm, scroll down to Standard Metal tips and you can see how the frosting looks when it comes out of each tip. I think the one you are likely looking for is one of the "closed star" tips shown in the blue frosting at http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/misc/tipusage.htm#Closed%20Star. I'd suggest poking around the site. There's TONS of info, instructions and tips (lol no pun intended) in addition to the products. BTW for a price comparison, tips are 95 cents each here, so it may be worth considering to buy from the pros both for quality and price. Though the Wilton ones used to be pretty cheap at Michael's and there's no shipping.

ETA just remembered I have an ebook "Cake Decorating for Dummies." If you want to send me your email, I'd be glad to mail it to you. I also have some excellent more advanced ebooks with pictures, but don't think they are on this computer. If you have a few days I could try to find the CD I have it on. But this book, in addition to talking u through stuff shows paintings of all different types of equipment. I saved it cause it had some good recipes in it too! Anyway, if you want it, I'd be glad to share

ETA to answer you: Did you check to see if there is a cake supply store within driving disance of you (or a Michael's)?? I'd hate to guess at the wrong number. If you clicked on that link you saw what I was trying to explain...there are many with the same pattern to make that, the only differnce being in the size the frosting comes out. I'd hate to guess wrong for you cake and I'm really not sure what you making. Hopefully this narrows down the type of tip you need. I'd decide on the size of the cake and either go in to a store or call Sugarcraft. They'd have a more accurate guess than me. Wish I had my stuff unpacked then I could go look at the numbers. But I'd hate to steer you wrong trusting my memory!

Also, I think I'm not sure what exactly you are wanting to do (which would be different size tips too). I thought you wanted to to the loops around the edge of the cake you pictured, but now you say to write letters. Keep in mind if you use that type of tip on a smaller cake, ages and names are usually easier to read with a small, round tip not one like that.

Just wish I was certain what you needed exactly to tell you, but hopefully this will get you on the right path! Plus since they are so cheap, I'd suggest buying a few, since they wash up nicely and will last many years (just be sure to dry them soon as you wash them, as some may rust otherwise). And you are most welcome...glad to try to help you!
