About different types of icing

Selecting proper quantity of icing and spreading it evenly on an edible content is always a fun thing to do as much as it is a learning achievement. Icing can be of different types, and you can mould, modify and customize in accordance with the personalized and/or budgetary requirements.

At this brief blog, we aim to let you know about 3 basic icings you would love to prepare at home and use on your edible content to not only impress your guests but also to give the cake a mouth-watering facelift.  

Butter cream
Butter cream icing is prepared by mixing butter with icing sugar, vanilla, and milk. When done, it yields into a creamy, soft and delicious icing spread which is good to go over a cake or piped into nice patterns. Perfect for small cakes; (read cupcakes) it can be flavoured with a range of improved colour and chocolate variations

Fondant
The shiny, tasty icing can be rolled out to cover fruit and even chocolate mud cakes. Its firmness helps keep cakes fresh and so it is used to decorate wedding cakes, and other types of cakes that require travelling a certain distance.

Meringue 
This is an American-styled frosting and usually prepared using egg white, caster sugar and water. After whipping, it is spread onto a cake using a palette knife. The top of the cake looks awesome when decorated with fresh edible flowers. The icing sets quickly and so you need to be quicker if you want to add sprinkles

Other than the ones mentioned above, you can even choose from other varieties of icing decorations such as Ganache, cream cheese icing, royal icing etc. While we cover part 2 of this article with introduction to those icing varieties, please take out time to visit the website. Cake Décor Group has a range of cake decorations and they do provide doorstep delivery.

Some modern age Cake decoration trends

Cakes are decorated according to the season, occasion, clients’ specific demand or the ongoing trends. These trends come and go and again they are repeated. The earlier, simpler cakes have been replaced by modern high stylish cool and ramp ready masterpieces. Modern tools and techniques, availability of more appealing and attractive ingredients and use of social media as generators and messenger of trends and styles, have changed the entire dimension of food art.

In no longer past, the cake was the actual star not the outside icing covering; also the flavours were limited to chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavours mixed in the butter cream icing spread over it.  But it is history now as the easy availability of fondant, gum paste and royal icings the cake covering is much convenient and more visually appealing. And as a cake flavour one has too many options as mango, fruit and nuts, caramel, coconut, rum and many other flavours or the blend of any two or more. Today, you can expect a layered cake with each layer and icing all of different taste.

The earlier cakes were mostly round or square shaped and today one can have it in any desired shape and pattern. Not only the geometrical but the shapes of almost all objects (human and animal figures, boats, boots, purses, buildings and anything) can be sculpted as the part of the cake decoration.  A cake artist can create any design as per clients’ wish and budget provided.

Now, come towards colours; replacing the boring plain cakes with rather unattractive colours of cake decoration, the modern age cakes have bright, delightful and vibrant colour schemes.  To maintain the health standards, all the food colours are made by using 100% food grade ingredients. Many chefs also prefer to apply the natural ingredients to get the desired colours.
The present day cake decoration is not prepared just for cutting and eating at the same time, it is about putting the whole creativity and imagination to sculpt and allure a ramp ready centre piece.

Decorating a cake with the beautiful flowers is a highly creative task which adorns the ordinary cake in a delightful manner and gives it a gorgeous appearance. These sugar flowers are made with many different sugar bases such as fondant, gum paste, butter-cream or gelatin mixed sugar blends. Cakes decorated with the floral theme are especially demanded for weddings where the multiple tiers of decorated cake are finely complemented with impressively dazzling flowers highlighted with cake glitters. 

 
Floral decoration is the most popular way to décor the cakes in both traditional and contemporary themed cakes while a cake artist can combine the imagination with the specific demand of a client.

Give your cake a pleasant shot of alcohol

Alcohol is always a party popper and nowadays if  it is the matter of some really exotic cake flavors no one can deny the taste and appetizing appeal of a rum cake or chocolate cake with beer. Pairing alcohol with some really nice cake flavors is enough to make your dinner dessert memorable as  a legend. There is no comparison of the red wine cake with the punch of dark chocolate decoration over it. Here are some tips to help you in creating some mysterious and exiting alcohol infused sweet delights:

• Prefer the classic cocktails: it is smart choice to play safe and use the popular  blends of cocktails that are familiar to the taste buds. For example, the recipe of fine ivory Russian cake contains cream, vodka and coffee liqueur.  

• Go with a classic pairing: It is the theory that the classic pairing of alcohol always work well everywhere, either in the beverage or as a cake recipe. If you are serving a triple Sec drink poured with Irish cream and coffee liqueur, it will be best complemented with the cupcakes containing the coffee liqueur, soaked in Triple Sec and topped with Irish cream butter-cream and tiny chocolate decorations.

•  Get inspired: always look for inspiration to get new blends of cocktails or alcohol plus traditional flavors from your surroundings. While you like to eat sour cheese or salted nuts with beer so you can try this combination in your cake or muffin also. 

6 reasons to use cake sprinkles

Using confectionery toppers, glitter sugars, sugar crunches, sprinkle shapes or any kind of cake sprinkle is a trend but can you tell us why it is so? Only for decoration? Of course that’s the basic idea but there are other reasons too. 

Sprinkles are tasty
 
Jelly beans, sugar crunches, slices and sugary sprinkle shapes— those are so yummy that we just cannot help but sprinkle on the cakes as much as we can. 

We can eat them just like that
 
Forget decorating a cake. When you’ve got a cupboard full of fudges, gold shimmer chocolate chips, glimmer sugar pearls… just open the pouches, tubs or packs, whenever you feel like, and grab a handful, just like that. 

Make children eat the bases
 
Children often refuse to eat cakes and cookies if those are not garnished with premium toppings. To make them eat, we need to shed hard labour. We need to cover the bases with creamy and tasty icings and then sprinkle tasty adornments so that we can persuade them to eat the bases.  

To trigger envy
 
An innovatively designed cake topped with edible glitter sand, sprinkle shapes or confectionery toppers, placed right in the middle of a laid out dinner table can actually make your guests feel envious. They will praise but will also feel jealous.

Most of the time the story ends with a counter invitation where the hostess tries hard to prove that she can do the art better than you. 

To impress your sweetheart
 
A cupcake platter with icing swirls and sprinkles on the top, served to your sweetheart with evening tea can make a nice impression. And of course you have too many occasions round the year to show how good you are in baking and decorating cakes for birthdays, anniversaries, Halloween or Christmas.  

To boost your mood
 
If you are in love with icing, jelly beans, sprinkles, choco chips, meringues and so on, try cake decoration as an instant mood booster. It’s healing.

How to use the choco-writers: 5 steps

Have you ever used the choco-writing tubes? Forget the home-made pastry bags that make you clumsy in chocolate decorations. Buy the tubes that can help you design lattice shapes or write a wish message in cursive writing without fretting around. 

Choco-writing tubes are available in milk, dark and white chocolate but before you buy make sure that the company uses pure chocolate and does not mix any artificial flavour or fat. 

We never use anything artificial in our products but not all the cake decoration suppliers are that responsible. 

Please follow the simple steps mentioned below and delve into creativity—

Step one
 
Put the tubes inside a jug full of piping hot water and wait for at least 5 minutes. The chocolate inside will take that much of time to melt. 

Step two
 
Keep a clean kitchen towel ready on the table beside the jug. Now use a scissor tong to pick the tubes out of the water and put them on the towel. Wrap the tubes by folding the ends of the towel. Try to wipe off the water.

Step Three 
 
Remove the jug and the tong from the table or set aside. Put on your oven gloves. Now you can hold the tubes at ease. Snip off the nozzle and get started to write a message on a cake or make some swirly patterns on the frosting. 

Step Four
 
To make lattice shapes or chocolate laces you’ll need to spread a thick bunch of pastry papers, the kind of paper we use to make pastry bags, on a tray. Pile at least 6/7 to make it thick enough. Now start designing. Make any shape—a heart, a swirl, a zig-zag, letters, words—anything. 

Step Five 
 
Let the shapes cool down. Wait for a couple of minutes and then put the tray inside the refrigerator. Leave it for an hour and then you’ll get them ready to serve.

6 ideas to decorate cupcakes

Several times we have heard Moms complaining that their kids refuse to eat cupcakes if those are not garnished with sumptuous cake decorations. Now these ladies really get worked up sometimes. 

It’s not easy to come up with a new idea every day but kids do expect that or rather demand that. 

So we thought how about sharing some of our cupcake decoration ideas. Ladies, please do let us know if you have liked any. 


Butterfly cup
 
Remove the cupcake papers and cover the cakes with vanilla frosting using a spatula. Now put pink and yellow cocoa butter butterfly confetti on the top and also on the sides. Use one butterfly colour for one cake. Cupcakes are best served as a platter. So you can use chocolate frosting also on one or two and put white butterflies on them. 

Jelly bean cup
 
Use a sharp edge to drill the cupcakes in the middle and then stuff with jelly beans. Use lemon, raspberry, orange, banana and lime flavoured jelly beans for separate cakes. 

Glitter cup
 
Buy a couple of glitter writing tubes and coat the cakes. Now to add more sparkle, sprinkle edible gold or silver cake glitter sand. 

Smiley cup
 
If you are in a hurry and can’t spend more than 5 minutes then simply draw smileys of different colours. Always keep a range of colourful icing and choco-writing tubes in stock. 
Those are all-purpose.

Gold chip cup
 
This will go best with the chocolate muffins. You can put a vanilla swirl first and then garnish with gold shimmering choco chips or else you can just coat the cakes with a choice of icing and then put the chips. 

Fudge cup
Either you can use normal fudge pieces as toppers or you can bake the muffins with bake stable fudge pieces instead of choco chips. In any case it will be a fudge cup. 

Besides you can also buy assorted cupcake toppers. Check our site.

What lies inside the tube?

Icing is an art and not very long ago people had to shed hard labour in their kitchens to prepare the icings, especially when they had to cover or decorate 10+ pounds. 

We’d rather say that people of our time are saved from those hassles. We can just pick and choose ready-made icing tubes in a range of colours and flavours.
 
Of course, you should pick good quality stuff so that you can get the icing free-flowing. Also try to buy packs that come with two or three decorating nozzles. 

Besides, be careful to buy products that are free of any artificial colour, flavour and harmful hydrogenated fat. 

But do you know what lies inside the icing tube? Of course, you have an idea if you have seen your mother or grandmother working in the kitchen. If you have missed that experience, then please go through. 

Icing is nothing but a creamy glaze made of sugar. To make it taste better and premium we add egg yolk, butter, cheese, chocolate or any special flavour. There are many kind of icings—

• Glace Icing is made of powdered sugar and water. Most of the common coloured icings are glace icings since adding colour or flavour to this mixture is easy.

• Royal Icing is prepared by beating egg white and powdered sugar. It’s a kind of hard icing which we get to see in Christmas cakes or Wedding cakes. It is used as a smooth covering or to design sharp peaks.

• Fondant, which is commonly used to design ribbons on wedding cakes or birthday cakes, is made of heated water and sugar. To make rolled fondants we use stabilizers like Gelatin.

• Ganache is made by heating cream and then adding chopped chocolates.

• Marzipan is made of sugar and almond meal. Once it used to be an essential part of cake decorations but nowadays due to increasing cases of nut allergies, people are avoiding it.

• Couverture Chocolate is a special kind of icing that contains high percentage of cocoa butter.

• Besides, nowadays many cake decoration supplies sell glitter gels in icing tubes. And those are not at all costly.

How good is your choco handwriting?

We would really like to know how good you are into it. If you love chocolate then we are sure you have tried your hand many a times with the choco writing tubes. 

No? Oh, maybe you are the one who still uses piping bags. Well, we are actually not against piping bags but if you want to take chocolate decorations into a level of art, then you need smarter tools.  

Many of our clients who are now the bulk buyers of choco writing tubes were initially apprehensive. We appreciated their concerns since they wanted to make sure that we use pure and best quality chocolate. 

Being a responsible cake decoration supplier we never ever mix any kind of artificial colour, flavour or hydrogenated fat in our products. We are completely against such practice. 

We sent samples to a few selected customers. All of them called us up immediately after using the tubes. They also mailed us some snaps of the decorations. We felt very happy. 

The best part of these tubes is that these are too much user-friendly. Just drop the tube in hot water, snip off the end of the nozzle and start writing, making designs or figures, keep swirling on the cupcakes as long as you can till the tube runs out. 

The consistency of the chocolate is smooth enough to move up, down or in any direction for the sake of the design. You can make flowers, lattice shapes, try cursive writing or decorate the walls of your pastry cake with motifs. 

You can choose from our dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate tubes. We are very proud of this range. This has earned us a lot of recognition in the Cake International, Birmingham last year.

The more you shall hone up your imagination skill, the more versatile you will be in choco decorations. 

And we do want you to be. 

Jelly beans, dolly mixtures, the chamber and you

Once again we shall ask you to imagine something and you know we are good at it. If you are honestly obsessive about the cake decorations and cake sprinkles, you shall go weak on the knees.

Now close your eyes and dream about a castle, much like one which you have seen in the movie ‘Beauty and the Beast’. You have suddenly stumbled upon a pebble and... Magic. 

The grey castle is right in front of you. There is no one around, not even a bird. Only trees are quietly shedding yellowed, withered leaves. You are gently stepping inside the enormous house, trembling. 

The chandelier has gone old but still showing you the smoky hallway that leads to the dining chamber. This may remind you of ‘Great Expectations’ and with your heart pounding you move step by step to that room where awaits... Something.

You gather enough courage and reach the door. ‘To knock or not to knock’-- when this clutters your mind, you feel a chill in your back, your body is almost paralysed.

Half-faint you finally push the door and... Whoa!

There is no old lady in ghostly attire, no antique candle-stand or dust covered china lying on the table.

The room is shiny and bright, full of colours and fragrance. The table is full of tubs, piled with red-orange-yellow jelly beans, sugar crunches, dolly mixtures, meringue drops, choco chunks, sprinkle shapes, micro-mallows and so on.

You go crazy, you go mad like you have found the treasure cave of that Arabian Night story.

Now, what are you waiting for? Do you want the Ogre of the castle, sleeping somewhere inside to wake up and make you his dinner?

No? Then be quick. Open your tote or the napsack. Come on, this scene is from a story but you are real. Stuff your bag with whatever you can and rush for the door.

Let us see whether the cake sprinkles stolen from the giant’s castle vanish like the Cinderella story or you can taste a mouthfull.
