2008 Cake Decorating Ideas

It is important before you even begin to bake your cake that you decide what you are going to actually decorate it with. You have a variety of options. Most cakes are commonly topped with icing or frosting of which there are a multitude, including Buttercream Icings, Caramel Icings, Peanut Butter Icings and many, many others. There is also fondant, marzipan and butter cream which are also types of icing. Other icings to consider which aren"t so common are those made with a mixture of sugar and cream cheeses. The simplest icing you can make is called Glace and is basically made with water and icing sugar. The ingredients of your icing consist of sugar, water, butter, egg whites and milk. I would imagine most homes would have a plentiful supply of these ingredients but it"s always a good idea to check before you get started. The finished cake can also be garnered with sprinkles which are little piece of candy and add a nice texture and decoration to your cake.
