THE BEST CAKE DECORATING BOOKS FOR EACH LEVEL OF CAKE DECORATING

In my experience books on cake decorating are great tools.  It's a one time buy and you have them forever to refer back too.  Especially now since most books are eBooks and or DVD base.  In most cases you have the option of either hard copy or eBook.
.
Cake decorating books have a lot of advantages; you just have to know which ones you will learn more effectively from.  It depends on what part of cake decorating you want to learn.  Can you decorate a cake, but are horrible at baking them?  Are you really good with buttercream, but have never used fondant or gumpaste?  Maybe you wonder how in the world people stack their cakes.  Unfortunately, there is not a book on cake decorating that will teach you from start to finish.  There's not even a class that will teach you that.  Most classes focus on one technique and you pay hundreds to learn that one technique.  Don't get caught wasting your money and valuable time thinking the only way to become a professional cake decorator is at a school.  There are numerous resources available to you to become the best, right in your kitchen.



Do you want to know how to bake delicious cakes that will hold up your cake decorating.  Learn all the concepts of baking and move on to decorating your cakes.  You have to start with a strong canvas before you can end with a masterpiece.

It is a fact that baking is like chemistry.  All the ingredients need to be measured and each ingredient plays an important part in the baking process.  The great news is you don't have to be a chemist to know how to bake cakes.  Some people are naturals and some need a little more understanding of the process.  I certainly did.  I was horrible in science, let alone chemistry.  With the right instructions and direction though, I came to understand how to bake.   If your starting product isn't right, neither will be your finishing product.

The start of any great cake decorator is the knowledge of how to bake great cakes.  If you want your masterpiece to be just that, you have to start with strong and delicious canvas.  It really isn't hard to bake and decorate cakes if you are equipped with the right tools to learn.

Cake decorating has been an ancient art form, that people share at celebrations.   There are all kinds of different cake decorating piping techniques to create the look you envision.  Let's face it that's exactly what cake decorating is.  Taking your vision and creating it on a delicious cake.  Sometimes the ideas come from your friend or customer, but ultimately it's your vision.  Best part you don't have to be an artist or have gone to art school.  I can barely draw a 3D box, let alone a cake.  But I certainly can take what I see inside of me and create it in front of me. 

Once you learn your piping techniques and how to pipe flowers for your cakes, you'll want to start creating tier cakes.  You will need to know how to stack your cakes and make them look flushed with one another.  Do you decorate them as individual's or once they're stacked?  How do you transfer a tier cake?  These are some questions that will arise once you start getting into tier cakes.  It is best as a cake decorator to know these answers before you start a tier cake for someone or give yourself enough time to trouble shoot.  Don't let your nerves get the better for you as you embark in your new tier journey.  As a cake decorator don't limit yourself on what you can create, just like anything else.....perfection comes with practice.

There are many different ways on how to use fondant icing.  The most common way for a cake decorator to use fondant is to cover their cake with it.  When a cake is covered with fondant it gives it a smooth finish.  You mostly see fondant cakes on wedding cakes or maybe even a specialize cake.  There are other ways to use fondant icing as well.

You can start getting creative with your cake by using gumpaste or marzipan to make figurines.  Whether you need to make animals, people, trees, almost anything you can think of, you can use gumpaste or marzipan instead of buying plastic objects for your cakes.

Start creating sugar flowers for your cakes.  There is an exceptional beauty to a cake when it's decorated with pulled sugar..  Not only is pulled sugar very artistic, but just learning these techniques can increase your market.

Learning how to create your cakes with other techniques than buttercream will definitely enhance your skills and level as a cake decorator.  You will be amazed at the different creations of your cakes.  You will start venturing into different styles and your income will increase.  Now your portfolio and market is unlimited.  Who better yet to invest in than yourself?  Your hands are your tools and your abilities is your $$$.
