Decorating a shaped cake - character in the form of cakes

Let's talk about a cake in the shape of decoration. A cake shaped is sometimes also called a character cake. These come in a variety of forms of Teddy bear in the most recent characters from cartoons for children. These cakes is perfect for beginners, because they use only two techniques of decoration of the cake.

We help you learn how in cake decorating the instructions below.

10 "or 12" baking BagCouplerMetal SpatulaTips # 3 or 4 and # 16Decorating a cake of character takes 1 lot of icing.Tint your icing according to the colours needed to pan. There are a few pots and pans where colors will have to be more specific, such as Dora, or Cinderella. Pans as the bear plush or handbag, with that you can be a little more creative. Place your cake on a plate of cake. I recommend covering your board with a mat or a piece of cake. If you have a wax covered cake Board, it is not necessary cover everything. However, a nice place mat or the color of the cake foil will make your cake look fine on the whole. I do not recommend the use of aluminium foil because it tends to tear when the cake is cut.

* Place a small amount of icing on your layer cake before putting your cake on it. This will help your cake to stay. You do not want your cake to the slide.

When you look at the cake, you should be able to see the contours of the characteristics of the cake. This is where we begin. I almost always use black to exhibit with cherry. It really makes the features distinguish.

Prepare your bag of pastry Tip # 3 or 4. holding your bag at an angle of 45 degrees, you will use your bag to draw the edges of the cake.When you start on the cake is not important. You simply want to describe it.Fair outline possible as a domain that you both. If you stop, choose only back up where you left off.When your outline is made, there may be places where cherry seems broken or humorous research. I worry too much about it because you'll hardly see it, once you have completed the next step.Here is an example of a cake with filling star in the method. This cake is a graduation hat. A braided Glans is piping now.
We now use the method of star fill to decorate the rest of our cake.

First of all, talk about making of a star. We use advanced # 16.

Hold your bag at an angle of 90 degrees is straight up.You want as your tip to be approximately 1/4 inch above the surface of the cake.Press bag to make your star. You will then stop pressure and back your tip directly.The size of your star depends on how hard you squeeze the bag.
* It is very important to stop press before lift you your tip here. If this is not the case, you will get a peak on your star.

Making the star fill.

We will use the star to complete the rest of our character cake. The first thing you can do is to get an idea which colors go where on your cake. You want to each color in a separate pastry bag. If you have only one or two end # 16 which is ok. You simply take off the end and he wash before using it on the next color.

Fill the area with your stars. When you do this, you want to make sure that your stars are even (same size) and closely spaced. You may not be able to see all the holes between your stars. This is important because these holes will be allow air to enter your cake which can dry out.

You want to fill in each of your zones of different colours with this method. Be sure to use your edges as a guide. Ultimately, your whole cake will be covered in stars and completely decorated!

There are a few cakes where the eyes are very simple. Others are a little more complicated and can be daunting.

Easier to make eyes are those that are simply round, completed in the eyes, as well as on the teddy bear. To make these type of eyes, use your Tip # 3, or 4. You will hold your bag at an angle of 45 degrees. Using a circular motion, fill the area. It will look a little uneven after that. Dip your finger in some sugar powder or cornstarch. Simply smooth the surface with your finger.

Eyes on some cakes such as Tinker Bell are a little trickier. These eyes are more realistic in the research. First of all, you may want to determine the colors go on what part of the eye. There will usually be white, black and color. Sometimes there is just a white area and an area of color. You determine this by looking at the edge on your cake.

Fill in these fields with a Tip # 3 or 4. You want to hold your bag at an angle of 45 degrees. Fill the box with a back and forth as you press. Once the field is completed, dip your finger in some sugar powder or cornstarch. Rub the area with your finger to give it a look smooth nice.

That's it, you are now ready to decorate a cake shaped!
