So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Designing Cakes Using Cake Decorating Tools

By Ben Johnson


Cake decorating for some is just a hobby while others heed the demand of the market for skilled bakers hence they are investing their time and effort so they can have a successful career in this area. If you too feel the call, you need first to get some basic cake decorating tools so you start your path to fame and glory. You may opt to buy the fancy and high technology gadgets but it is advisable to start with the basic cake decorating tools so you can have an idea how to decorate a cake the basic way.

Make a list of the essential cake decorating tools that you will need in the kitchen. Cake decorating tips should be included in your list. The tips form the icing as it comes out of the decorator's bag. The two cake decorating tips that you can get by for now are the rose tip for flower decorations and the writers tip for writing greetings on the cake. The other basic tips are stars and leaf and remember they come in various sizes.

Using a spatula, scoop one cup of icing straight into the decorator's bag. When you are icing the cake, a stainless spatula can help you accurately spread it around the cake. When you are already comfortable decorating different sizes of cakes, then that's the time you also adjust the sizes of the spatula that you will use.

If you prefer creating flowers or petals, use a rose cake-decorating tip. Rather go around the table and moving around the cake, this thing makes it easier for you to work.The other cake decorating tools that should be included in the list are couplers, couplers screw and pastry bags. The decorator bag, or pastry bag is where you put the icing. You will attach the tip to the coupler and the coupler screw will stick it to the bag.

If you still have some cash left, buy more cake decorating tools such as cake boards, smoothers, and brushes.Many companies put together some basic cake decorating tools in kits and they are usually offered it on a discount.You can avail of these cake-decorating stools online and at craft stores, notably Michael's where they offer coupons and discounts at almost half the price.
