There are truly few people that do not like a lovely piece of cake, well baked and beautifully presented. This is certainly true for little children, but also for teenagers and grownups.

Cake Decorating And Fondant Cake Decorating And Fondant There are truly few people that do not like a lovely piece of cake, well baked and beautifully presented. This is certainly true for little children, but also for teenagers and grownups. And that also includes those that are not normally mentioned, specifically, for having a sweet tooth. We simply love cake, and if it is decorated beautifully, so much better. Cake makes life sweeter and transports us to a happy place. Not everybody is a champion baker or chef, but most people can follow a recipe and produce a nice, tasty cake – decorated and attractive. Of course the professionals will always come up with a superior effort; however, nothing stops the average person from giving it their best try. Follow a recipe you find on the internet, in your mother’s cookbook, borrow ideas from a friend – just give it a good try. Of course it helps if you make sure you find the best ideas from those individuals that bake every day. Talk to a baker, or look on the internet for ideas about recipes, but also for the best ideas concerning decorations for your cake, whether it is a cake for tiny children or teenagers. Ideas abound, and the best websites will offer you great information, and even the opportunity to order cake decorating products from them. This includes that all-important sugar paste, which is also called fondant that is essential to use when you want to decorate a cake to look like something special and inviting. Of course there are many options when it comes to the fondant you want to use, whether you want it in its original white form, which Carma invented the well-known Massa Ticino fondant or sugar paste in, or another variety. The Massa Ticino is the original and offers the basis from which cake decorators can decide which colours they want to make use of. There is a choice of nine exciting colours that helps the baker create more than sixty different shades to produce their own, unique take on it. Massa Ticino sugar paste/fondant comes from Switzerland originally and has been marketed worldwide for around 60 years, during which time it has become a favourite among housewives, bakers and professional chefs for the purpose of decorating, and sculpting, cakes. Fondant is easy to use if you stick to the basics. You use the sugar paste/fondant icing to cover cakes when rolled out. Not only does it look beautiful and inviting, but by covering the cake, you also help to ensure that it keeps and stays fresher and moist for longer – it does not dry out that quickly. Further: because the fondant creates a smooth surface for the decorator to work on, it offers great opportunities to put your creative ideas to good use and come up with more complex and interesting decorating ideas as the process unfolds. One simply follows a few simple instructions from the supplier, printed on the pack you buy the paste in. This includes, obviously, removing the sugar paste from its packaging, then kneading it so it becomes crease and stress free so that you form a ball for a round cake, for example. Roll the paste and then lift it onto the cake and gently smooth it down the sides of the cake, making sure you remove any air bubbles that may have built up. That is really all there is to it. Make sure you read the instructions carefully, and you are sure to use your Massa Ticino Fondant with great success. Buying these sugar pastes these days has become so easy. The best among cake supply companies market them on their websites. Fondant can be used to decorate big cakes as well as small cakes and cupcakes.
