I have found a love for decorating and baking cakes for the kids parties but I want to get better at it and do more of it, so how many of you decorate and bake your own cakes?
Any tips or advice you could give me would me appreciated TIA ❤️
I do mine and to be honest I'm still learning it's fun but I would love to to learn more about how to decorate better
Practice! That’s all you can do. Start this week make something. I LOVE baking it’s all about practicing . My neighbor started her own business and is booming she is constantly making all the things
Do you currently make your own cakes or box
you need to get a scraper if you don’t have one that will do the crumb coat
I second this! Measuring cups are no where near as accurate! I bought a $15 scale on amazon and it gets used every day! I love that little thing!
I do. A cake turning table is a must for me. I still do box cake but I do my own frosting an I have a lot of different food coloring for the frosting and spray coloring. Still learning. Might invest in like cake decorating kit. For holidays and parties i make cakes an dessert. I only do banana cake and cheesecakes from scratch.
Thankfully the set I bought comes with a turning table! I am really excited about that because it will be much easier to decorate
nice. I will definitely get a set soon. A 789 Wilton tip also very handy to decorate and a icing spatula. You will need a big bag to go with the 789 wilton tip.
Sometimes towns or counties will offer classes to adults in all kinds of things for free. I’ve seen different levels of cake decorating classes offered here. Check to see if they offer anything like that around you!
Also I’ve seen classes at Joann Fabrics! I think they have a lot online now.
Scale and a lazy susan. Practice practice practice. Baking is a fun hobby.
Fun tip: use mashed potato (the dry flakes) to practice icing skills if you need practice. Then use actual icing when you have had a good grip on it. Piping bags and a few piping tips are a good set to have.
