How to
Select a Decorating Set
- At the heart
of your cookie and cake decorating, is a decorating set. It can be
simple and economical or expensive. It can have a barrel or a bag.
The bags can be disposable or reusable. Here’s an overview to
help you choose what is best for you.
Tips
for making great icings:
1.
Start with enough icing to cover the entire cake. Matching
shades later can be difficult.
2. Dip a toothpick into the food coloring gel and
then dab it into the icing. Add a little more until you get the right
color.
3. Use a new toothpick each time that you add color
so that you do not get icing in your food coloring jar.
4. Deep colors such as red may take more food coloring
to achieve. To use less coloring for black and brown, start with chocolate
icing.
5. Don't get your icing too dark. Color tends to
deepen over time.
6. Royal icing often takes more food coloring than
buttercream to reach the same shade.
