Cake Decorating Research Project: May 2009

Introduction

Hey everybody! Welcome to my blog! The topic that I chose is cake decorating. I chose this because ever since I was a little girl, I have seen my mom and other people on TV decorate cakes. I always thought that they were so pretty and wanted to be able to do that one day. Although I knew that I wouldn’t immediately be as skilled as those people, I knew that it would be good to start off somewhere. So, I started to take a cake decorating class for beginners. We learned how to do flowers, borders, and many basic techniques. Before the class I didn’t know how to make a reverse shell border, or even smooth the surface of a cake! It was really amazing to see myself improve each week and eventually master a rose made completely out of icing. In addition to the class, I watched many episodes of Ace of Cakes on the Food Network Channel, as well as found sources online that gave good techniques on how to decorate a cake. Throughout this project, I learned many basic techniques of cake decorating from several great sources. Hopefully I can improve my skills and take this hobby to the next level! I hope you really enjoy my blog, and maybe you might learn a little something about cake decorating too!

For my second creative response, I made a cookbook. It contains three cake recipes and three icing recipes. The cake recipes that I included are carrot, chocolate, and red velvet. The icing recipes that I included are butter cream, chocolate, and cream cheese. The name of my cookbook is "Cooking with Coleman".
