Cake Decorating Ideas

There are a lot of cake decorating ideas that you can find in the internet today. Some of these cake decorating techniques are very easy to do and could be done by even the amateurs. However if you have been decorating cakes for some time now, it is best that you learn more difficult and complicated techniques.

Cake drapery is one of the most intricate cake decorating techniques that you can do if you want your cakes to be more elegant and dramatic. Do you want to learn how to master this particular technique? Follow these simple steps:

First, you’ll need to create a 50/50 mixture of gum paste and fondant. Once you have the combination ready, you need to roll it out thinly using a small rolling pin. Make sure that the fondant/gum paste combination will be paper thin so that it will drape on your cake properly.

What you need to do next is to gather one end of your rolled fondant and make folds that are somewhat similar to a ruffle. When you have figured out where you will be positioning the drape, apply piping gel on the cake and place the fondant. Stretch and arrange the drapery as you like.

Repeat the above steps to make more fondant drapery.
