for a beginner in cake decorating, what will be the best tool for icing apart from a piping bag? is the spritz?
cookie press set very good for icing cakes too. l ideas please.thanks
Cookie press is excellent for creative icing effects.also look
for a truly flexible rounded-tip spatula for the main icing coverage
before you start the fancy stuff. Get some sprinkle-top jars or little
containers for applying even swathes of sprinkles & spangly bits.
Professional cake decorators build cones of heavy butcher paper to build
roses & 3-dimensional pieces on that can be stuck onto cakes prepared with
first coating of icing. I've watched the pros do amazing things with an icing gun, a paper cone, & plenty of practice.including pink icing elephants, baby faces & miniature top hats. Start simple but learn ur spatula strokes, sprinkle patterns & how to make shell, egg & dart, Roman column effects, etc., with icing 'gun' or cookie press. Have fun first, remember?
Hi Ashleyy2, Stencils can be very handy, if you collect all
sorts of weird & wonderful shapes,plus of course the alphabet you can use
them as what we call 'run outs' or 'pour outs'. With these you lay ur
stencil on a lightly oiled sheet of greaseproof paper & 'fill' the stencil
with either Icing of ur choice or different coloured/flavoured chocolate.
Pop them in the fridge or freezer & use them as decorations. If you can
buy metal stencils they can also be used as cookie cutters etc. If you have an artistic talent, you can make ur own with little more than a sharp craft knife or scalpel & lids from plastic containers. That way the only thing stopping you is ur imagination.you can also get proper stenciling equipment from craft shops. A friend of mine is a confectioner & has been making her own for years. A quick look around a specialist suppliers & you will leave with some good ideas (and probably broke) that you could adapt yourself if you are that way inclined. Just take a look around ur own kitchen & look at things in a different light, it is surprising what you can find in drawers & the backs of cupboards that you can use or adapt to decorate cakes . Odd shaped cans for example if you open them at both ends make cutters. I hope this helps. All the best & good luck both in & out of the kitchen.
you can make piping bags out of storage/sandwich bags cut a
small tip off of bag corner
