Cake decoration is all
about the presentation and there are many ways that you can finish
the cake off so that it looks truly wonderful. Candied fruit and
fresh flowers are great ideas. These will not only make it look
beautiful but also add texture to the cake.
Fruit
There are many ideas
you can use with fruit. Fresh berries make a perfect garnish and
are also very flavorsome. They can be rolled in sugar, glazed
or simply added plain – the decision is yours. Fresh strawberries
is another good fruit to put on cakes; especially chocolate
cakes. Orange segments and grapes are also good and also
delicious when glazed with syrup. The ideas are literally
endless.
Whipped cream goes
especially well with fresh fruit although, if you are going to put
frosted fruit on your cake, you might want to give whipped cream a
miss. Frosted fruits make a great idea for fall wedding cakes.
Berries are also a great idea for wedding cakes, especially for
winter weddings. You should always be prepared to serve the cake
shortly after the fruit has been added as the fruit can bleed and
ruin the frosting.
Flowers
 Using fresh edible flowers on your cake will give it
that something special and make it all the more appealing. You
should dust the cake with confectioner's sugar before you do
anything else and then add the flowers. There are a number of
different flowers which are edible such as: rose petals, sweet
violets, and honeysuckle. You could add a large dollop of whipped
cream and arrange the flowers around the cream.
Dusting the flowers
with super-fine sugar will give the entire cake a look of elegance.
All you have to make sure is that the flowers are edible, clean and
free from pesticides.
Nuts
Nuts, whether candied
or toasted are an ideal topping for carrot cakes and other spiced
cakes. The nuts can be pressed into the icing itself or simply
sprinkled on top.
It is important that
you think about how to finish the cake off because it is often the
most important aspect of the entire cake and could make or break
it. The modern trend is for bold ideas and unique concepts. These
are guaranteed to be loved by all of your clients, so try something
a bit different and watch it’s popularity soar. Remember that
your business is only as fun as you make it and while there will be
a lot of hard work, you should never lose sight of the fact that
you are doing something that you love so should constantly be
trying to develop new ideas.
It can be a very good
business, especially if you start making a name for yourself. You
charge by the cake, so the more lavish, the more money you will
make. Of course, just how much money you make will depend on where
you live and also which clients you choose to work for. However, no
matter where you live, if you do the best you can and really take
the time to produce unique and eye-catching designs, your work will
soon be in great demand.
