Look for listings of cake decorators and decorating schools under this Yellow™ heading. You can make plain cakes more attractive and appealing by using sugar arts, icing, and other edible decorative elements. You can also make cakes that are molded and sculpted to resemble three-dimensional persons, places and things. In many parts of the world, decorated cakes are often the main focus of a special celebration such as a birthday, graduation, bridal shower, wedding, or anniversary. The art of cake decorating dates back to mid-17th century in Europe and has since flourished in many countries, such as Northwestern Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand and South America. Decorating a cake usually involves covering a cake with some form of icing and then using decorative sugars, candies, chocolate or icing decorations to embellish the cake. But it can also be as simple as sprinkling a layer of icing sugar or pouring a glaze over the top of a cake. Icing decorations can be made by either piping icing flowers and decorative borders or by molding gum paste, fondant, or marzipan flowers and figures.
Cake decoration is especially used in wedding cakes with many modern techniques and designs. Traditionally, the wedding cake is a graduated multi-tiered cake stacked in Victorian style or separated by pillars with flowers and other decorations applied to each tier. There are several methods associated with cake decorating. The Australian Method uses detailed royal icing piping over fondant-covered cakes, but then adds delicate lacework and intricate curtain work.
There are several listings available with information on cake decorators. These can supply you with the perfect cake for any occasion. From funny, traditional, modern, and even naughty – you will find a wide range to choose from.
