Re: Cake Decorating
I dont know how to make any of these professional cakes, but i've always wanted to learn :), I think i am going to consider taking that Michaels course as well, I already found a location here in Mississauga,,, I'm really inspired now,,, I just have question,,,How do you guys make the cake look so perfect. I've always made my cakes with the ready made mix that u get from Betty Crocker, but mine always ends up tilting to one side or uneven edges, or the icing inside the layers mixing with the icing outside of the cake????? its never perfect like these cakes you have on GS.... But I really wanna take this course now :)
Neelum you should make sure ur baking pan is placed in the centre of the oven for even baking. Also you get these strips that you wrap around your baking pan and that ensures an even levelled cake, though I haven't used them yet myself. To stop the filling icing from mixing wit hthe outside icing have to sort of seal the ends of the layer. When you split ur cake in layers you pipe out a border of the outside icing all around the edges of the layer and then fill it up wit hwhatever u want within that boundary you create. Then when you place the top layer over the bottom one the filling doesn't squeeze out cos ur other icing boundery holds it in.
SGC and mrs smoothguy welldone. love both ur cakes.
