    September is the month when college courses traditionally

    start up in the UK, and many of the cake decorators

    around today made their first ventures in to our art as part

    of a formal course working towards a cake decorating

    qualification. Whilst there are still some excellent courses

    on offer, over recent years funding subsidy has dried up,and for many this is no longer a viable option. To fill the

    void more and more shops and sugarcraft schools run

    courses throughout the year, and there will be one near you.

    If you look at our Course Listing on page 48-49 you can

    get an idea of some of the many courses available.

    Many of you are also self taught, and each week I receive

    many messages telling me how continues to develop

    your skills, and this months projects will be sure to deliver

    more of the same. Amongst the many contributions this

    month I am delighted to welcome Helen Scott Reese from

    the Netherlands to our pages with her delightful baby

    accessory bag.

    And when you have finished looking at the magazine, do

    take a moment to have a look at our recently upgraded

    website (www.cake-craft.com) where you can find so muchmore information.

    Place the cake board onto a sheet of paper and use this as a guideto draw a circle. Cut out the paper circle and fold into 16.

    Open the paper circle and place it onto a freshly iced board.Use a pin to mark a small hole at the edge of the board throughthe paper into the icing using the folds as a guide. Continuearound the board marking all 16 holes. Remove the paper circle.

    Place the left side of the largest size embosser onto the pinholeand keeping it level roll the embosser into the sugarpaste toemboss the pattern. Repeat around the cake. This will create evenspacing of the pattern and will leave a gap between each section.

    Take the 6cm deep paper strip and cut it to the exactcircumference of the cake, fold it in half widthways and thenfold it into 6 lenthways. Undo the paper strip and place itaround the freshly covered cake securing with a small piece ofsticky tape. Use a pin and the centre fold line to accurately marka small hole halfway up each of the six upright foldlines.

    Use the same embosser as used around the board to embossabove the side design to fill the gaps. Leave to dry overnight.

    Place the end of the small flower embosser onto the icing so theleft side is just touching a pinhole. Press the embosser into theicing. Remove the embosser and replace it onto the nextpinhole. This will create even spacing of the embossing aroundthe board.

    support the roseuntil it is dry.This can be heldin place with a

    paper clip. Make16 roses.

    Use double-sidedsticky tape toattach ribbonaround boards.

    The top tier canbe a dummy cake

    for the bride tokeep.

    Cut out the third layer of petals and soften on the sponge pad.Turn the flower over, moisten with water and slide up behindthe flower on the cocktail stick. Turn the flower upside down tolet the petals fall naturally and whilst holding the stick in onehand curl the petals back. Allow to dry - see tip.

    22

    When dry dust the centre of the flower with a darker shade ofpink and paint a calyx onto the back with a mixture of darkgreen dust colour and alcohol. Place a ball of sugarpaste ontothe top tier add the bottom layer of roses by pushing thecocktail stick of each rose into the sugarpaste ball. Add a secondrow and a single rose for the top.

    Sense Of Achievement

    Im new to cake decorating, more of a home baker really and a keen crafter. The mainreason I do these hobbies is because of mental illness, which Ive suffered with from ayoung age, Im now in my forties and currently suffering with anorexia which is a living

    nightmare - but to try and escape I turn tobaking, crafting and now cake decorating.

    These are two of my cakes, one was for mynephew and the other a friends engagement, both were first

    attempts at shaping a cake and tiering a cake.

    I just want to send a little hope to anyone else who issuffering with any type of illness, to have a go ifpossible. Even if it just gives you a small and brieffeeling of relief and escape, its worth it.

    SkyLanders Cake

    Ive always loved baking and studied foodtechnology at secondary school but that wasnearly 20 years ago now. I work as a storemanager at

    Hobbycraft, andbeing surroundedby such wonderfulproducts inspiredme to start makingcakes beginning

    with a fewcupcakes. My firstbig project wasour wedding cakelast October. Iembarked on threetiers of 6 inch deepcakes, not an easy

    project at all butwas delighted withthe end result.

    The Tree-Rex SkyLanders cake was probably themost challenging cake that Ive done, I am stilllearning modelling and it was not liking all the

    weight of the icing on top of its legs! So muchdetail on this one too with the shading to try andmake him look like a tree trunk!

    Too Good to Cut?

    When I was asked to make a totally bespoke cake for my 2ndcousins christening this idea sprung to mind. Not knowing how

    this would turn out, I was shocked at how totally realistic thecake was. The cake was delivered to the christening which I alsoattended. Ive never received so many super comments and as ofyet I believe it has still not been cut?

    This is my hobby! And Ive been making cakes for family andfriends for just over a year and I love to try and make my cakeslook as realistic as possible! Ive made many realistic cakes fromSunday roasts to Macdonald meals but I think the baby one hasto be the most lifelike; its almost scary!

    Runouts

    This is a method for creating motifs, letteringand other decorations for your cakes. Theprinciple is very simple. First of all you pipe an

    outline then you flood the area inside theoutline with watered down royal icing. Thedecoration is then left to harden before beingattached to your cake.

    You will needWaxed paper or plastic folderSticky tapeRoyal icingFood colour pastesPaper piping bagsNo. 1, 2 or 3 nozzlesScissorsSmall soft fine paintbrush

    1Choose your design and place it underneathsome waxed paper or a clean plastic folder. Itmust be flat so if youre using waxed paper youmay find it helpful to hold the edges in place

    with a little sticky tape.

    2Place some dark coloured royal icing into apiping bag fitted with a No. 1 or 2 pipingnozzle. To avoid tails forming when you stoppiping stir a few drops of water into the icingfirst, so that when you lift the stirrer out of theicing the tip of the peak falls over. Then pipe

    over your outline.

    3Now you need to infill the outline. Firstplace a little royal icing into a small bowl andstir in the required colour. The icing then needs

    to be watered down so it can flow and flood therunout. Add the water gradually until the tailthat forms when you lift out the stirrerdisappears back into the icing on a count of 7.

    4Pour the runny icing into a piping bag. Youmay find it best to make and use a paperpiping bag as using a nozzle can damage theoutline. Close the bag and snip a t iny triangleoff the end. Alternatively you could use a small

    plastic food bag. If you prefer to use a nozzle,use a No. 2 or 3 nozzle.

    5Squeeze and fill the area with the icing usinga gentle side-to-side motion. Use the tip of afine soft paintbrush to coax the icing into any

    awkward areas.

    6Repeat using a different colour to fill a differentsection of the runout. Once completed, leavethe runout where it is to dry thoroughly.

    TIP: In the olden days of incandescent lightbulbs that got hot, you could speed up the drying

    time by positioning an anglepoise lamp close toyour runout. If you still have one use it!

    Royal Icing TechniquesFor many people if you say the words royal icing it conjures up

    an image of a cake with a rock hard covering and jokes about

    needing a pick axe to cut it. However for an icing so famous forits brittle qualities there are an incredible number of delicate

    techniques with which you can create stunning and intricate

    creations to adorn your cakes. Here are a few...

  • 8/9/2019 Cake Craft & Decoration Magazine

    22/38

    Runout Lettering

    First of all you will need a lettering template.Lettering is easy to find in cake books or fromthe internet.

    The method used is exactly the same as formaking a decorative runout. Place a sheet of

    waxed paper or a plastic folder over thetemplate. Trace over the template to create aroyal icing outline with a No. 1 or 2 pipingnozzle then infill with watered down royal icing.

    TIP: Runouts are very fragile so its always worthmaking a few extra decorations in case of breakages.

    Pressure Piping

    Pressure piping is a fairly quick way to createsmall smooth decorations and lettering thatdont have the outline ridge of a runout. As itsname suggests, pressure piping is all about howmuch pressure you apply when squeezing thepiping bag. Squeeze gently and the flow throughthe piping nozzle is thin. Squeeze harder and theicing will flow faster and produce a thickerfinish. The royal icing itself needs to be fairly

    thin so that it can be piped into shapes but notso runny that it cannot hold its shape. It shouldbe somewhere between the soft peak and runout consistency.

    Pressure Piped Decorations

    You will need

    TemplatePlastic sleeve/folder or flat sheet of waxed paperPiping bagsNo. 2 and 3 or 4 piping nozzlesPink food colourRoyal icingSmall bowls for mixing

    Black food colour pen

    Pressure Piped Pig(Hah! Bet you cant repeat that quickly after afew shandies!!)

    1Place the template under the waxed paper orplastic sleeve. Place some pink coloured royalicing into a piping bag fitted with a No. 2piping nozzle and pipe the legs, ears and tail.Squeeze a small blob of icing out, release thepressure and allow the piping tail to taper awayinto the body or head area.

    2Place some pink icing into another bag fitted

    with a No. 3 or 4 piping nozzle andsqueezing harder than you did for the ears etc.Pipe a large blob for his body.

    3When the body has hardened pipe a smaller

    blob for his head.

    4When the pigs face has set hard enough,pipe a small oval for his nose and allow toharden. Using a food colour pen, draw two dotsfor his eyes and nose and a curl on his tail.

    TIP: Royal Icing decorations can be kept formonths so its always worth making more thanyou need. Store them on sheets of waxed paperin a box somewhere cool.

    Pressure Piped Puppy

    Amazing to think that just a few piped circles cancreate something as cute as this. Remember theroyal icing has to be watered down to the point

    where it will still hold its shape but not leaveannoying tails and marks as its piped. Use a softdamp paintbrush to pat down anything annoying.

    1Using a No. 3 piping nozzle, pipe a largewhite disk for his body and leave to dry.

    2Pipe a white oval for his head and four smallcircles for his feet and leave them to dry.

    Sugar Skills School

  • 8/9/2019 Cake Craft & Decoration Magazine

    23/38

    3Place a No. 2 piping nozzle into a piping bagwith a little watered down black food colour.Pipe two ears, a ball for his nose and a littlestring at the top of his head for his tail.

    4When the dogs head is completely dry, maketwo dots for his eyes using a food colour pen.Attach royal iced decorations onto royal iced orsugarpasted cakes with dots of royal icing. Dontuse water or they will start to dissolve. If you are

    using these for decorations on buttercream, putthem on at the last moment as they will start toabsorb oil from the buttercream after about aday although it could be faster depending uponhumidity and temperatures.

    Brush Embroidery

    You will need

    Five petal flower cutterPiping bagsNo. 2 piping nozzlePink, yellow and gooseberry green colouredroyal icingSmall soft paintbrush

    WaterClean cloth

    This is a simple but effective way to createpretty flowers for your cakes. If you are workingon a royal iced cake or a sugarpasted cake thathas been allowed to harden you wont be able topress a cutter into the icing to act as a guide sopipe the flower shapes onto the cake freehandone at a time instead.

    1Before your cakes sugarpaste covering hashad time to harden, carefully press a flowercutter into the icing. Dont go right through,you simply need it to leave an impression that

    will act as a guide for you to pipe.

    2Using a No. 2 piping nozzle, pipe over theoutline of one of the flowers.

    3Using a damp paintbrush, carefully draw theicing inwards towards the centre of theflower. Pipe and repeat on the other flowers.

    4Pipe a leaf outline and brush the icingtowards the centre of the leaf. Your brushmust be damp not wet so keep a cloth handy to

    wipe your brush on if it gets too wet.

    5To finish pipe a few little green fronds anddots around the leaves and a cluster of yellowdots in the centre of each flower.

    TIP: This technique works well on cookies orcupcakes too. Cut out a sugarpaste disk, press theflower cutter into the sugarpaste and pipe theflowers as above, then pop onto a cake or cookie.

    CollarsCollars are an impressive way to extend theedges of your cakes and create the illusion ofgravity defying cake decorations. They are alsoextremely fragile!The easiest way to make a collar is in sections sothat if you break a bit you havent got to remakethe entire collar. Here is a simple design to getyou started.
