Cake decorating is all the rage at the moment, with shows like "Extreme Cakes," "Cake Boss," and "Ace of Cakes" and demonstrating the incredible looks that both pro and amateur bakers manage to pull off (except for contestants on "Nailed It"). Now, there's pressure to pull off stunning wedding cakes, birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, and cakes for just about any other occasion. The use of fondant, spray-on food coloring, stencils, and more allows decorators to include great amounts of detail in their designs, and ultimately your imagination truly is the limit when it comes to decorating cakes.
Memorable birthday cakes have always been a part of my childhood. My mom baked all of the cakes for my brother's and my birthdays, and though it's been more than 20 years since she made some of those cakes, I still remember them well. My mother piped and frosted some amazing cakes, and while I inherited her love of baking, I didn't inherit her decorating talents.
Luckily, I've discovered a variety of tools that can help. While I'll never be the talented freehand piper that my mom is, with some of these tools, I can do a halfway decent job decorating a cake. These tools aren't top-of-the-line and they're not intended for professional bakers. They do allow home bakers to use some of the same techniques that the professionals use, expanding their options in how they approach each cake.
If you enjoy baking for friends and family and are looking to improve your cake decorating techniques and skills and even show off a little bit, these tools can help.
