📹 CAKE DECORATING HACK – LETTERING HACK (No tools!!) 🍰😍
This is an easy cake design and an easy way to decorate a cake. In this video I show you an easy way of piping frosting and …
This is basically a variation of a frozen buttercream transfer. If you print out the letters/design in mirror image instead, then you can freeze your finished design, and just flip it over and place it directly on the cake where you want it instead of trying to lift it off the wax paper and place it on the cake, which is problematic and has a high potential for breakage, especially with something delicate like letters. Overall nice idea, and workable with chocolate.
My mother was a professional cake decorator and amazing at handwriting on cakes! Her top tip to me was that once you start a run of icing, try lifting the tip of your piping bag or nozzle higher up above your surface and sort of “lay” the stream of icing down, and only come back down to the surface at the end of a section to close off the stream. You get a smoother line that way. This is a really useful article, and gives a nice method to achieve different fonts!
I would also suggest printing your message in mirror image. Also trace the words on separate pieces of wax paper so when you trace it with the chocolate and go to transfer it onto your cake you don’t have to handle the words. You just flip the chocolate side onto the cake and carefully peel back the wax paper. You might find you have better control of the placement as well. 🤷🏻♀️
Sorry just a little bit of a heads up, I wouldn’t dare to waste any of the chocolate by wiping it away with a tissue or whatever. All you need to do is get a spoon or anything and scrape it back into the bag. But overall, the rest of the article is a very good idea for a hack and it works just fine so thank you so much for this.
So I know that the wax paper is used because it is nonstick but I noticed you were still having a little bit of trouble peeling off the lettering and I’d be afraid I would break them in the process. I’m wondering if it would work to spray the wax paper with just a little bit of oil so the paper will come away a little bit easier?
This melted chocolate chip idea works great for outlining a cute design for a child’s birthday cake…same thing …. Find a picture that you want (a castle, characters like the Paw Patrol pups, a puppy or kitten, a farm animal, a fish, a tractor, a ninja, a car, a hockey team’s logo, a cute cottage, complete with doors & windows & pathway…whatever you like) and just trace over the lines on the picture. Chill the pattern on the FREEZER till it is really solid. Than instead of lifting it off, just flip the waxed paper onto the top of the cake, with the pattern next to the cake and peel the waxed paper off. The design will stay in place. Then pipe in buttercream with a small star tip to fill in the pattern…I have done Elsa from Frozen, Skye and Everest from Paw Patrol a race car, an excavator, hammers and saws, graduation caps and diplomas with this method…the pattern will just be reversed once it’s placed onto the cake
I am not sure why you even posted this article with so many mistakes it’s extremely hard to I can understand showing mistakes but this was just in the lettering looks absolutely like a kindergartner wrote it. I know you’re going to assume that I’m being this very harsh negative person but I’m not I’m just not understanding why you with such a lengthy article and just not edit out all the Mix-Ups
