designs and decorations. You can even start with cupcakes and cookies. You can
also use stencils and edible marker kits. A stencil will allow you to dust your
cupcakes with cocoa powder or powdered sugar over the top and make a wonderful,
yet simple design.
You can use buttercream, royal icing, or fondant to create
your cake decorating project. You can start by topping your cakes with icing
and adding icing flowers, fruit or candy. You can also make cakes that look
like other foods. Hotdogs, hamburgers, pizza, and even cakes that look like
fruit. You can do this by using a molded cake pan, or cutting the cake and
piecing it together. You can also create character cake decorations. Make sure
your cake is moist and not crumbly so it will stay together better when cut.
You need to eliminate crumbs in your cake icing, and create
a smooth finish to create a beautiful cake decorating project. Icing the cake
to a smooth, fine finish is considered to be one of the most important parts of
cake decorating and should be fine tuned as your skills develop.

difficult to work with, but it is most beautiful when the finished product is
