Here are such few ways that will definitely help you to decorate your cakes, cupcakes, and cookies like professionals:
1. Using Edible Images
When it comes to cakes, decorating them with edible images is one of the most popular decorations that is liked by all. It is always a delight when a person receives a cake with his/her favorite picture on it. Also, this decoration is quite in demand at corporate events such as product launches. You can use edible sheets such as icing sheets, wafer papers, and chocolate transfer sheets to print edible images and logos professionally on not just the cakes but also cookies and cupcakes.
2. Using Edible Printer
The edible images can be printed using edible printers. These printers are just like ordinary printers but are compatible with printing edible images. All you need is edible ink cartridges instead of the conventional ink cartridges, and edible sheets such as icing sheets or wafer papers. You can connect it to your PC, laptop, tablet, phone, or any other such device and send the print command just like you would do with an ordinary printer.
3. Using Edible Colors
Another great way to bring that professional decoration to your cakes and other desserts is by manually making art on the surface with edible colors. This gives a distinctive touch to cakes, cupcakes, and cookies and definitely is a great way to customize the dessert for a particular occasion. Edible colors can be used in various mediums such as edible color pens, markers, and paints too that can be simply used with a painting brush to decorate the cake or any other dessert’s surface.
4. Using Airbrush Kit
Making art on a cake or cookie surface is always a great idea and when done right, it definitely qualifies as a professional decoration. That's why painting with an airbrush is a must for anyone who wants to decorate their cakes, cupcakes, or cookies professionally. The airbrush helps to create various color gradations that give a 3D effect to your desserts. Using the airbrush is quite easy too. All you need to do is to fill it up with the desired edible color and it's all ready to use.
5. Using Decorating Piping Tips
The frosting on a cake is a show stopper at any kind of party or occasion. The more intricately the frosting is, the more attention it will grab from all your guests. Even though you can decorate the cakes and cupcakes with a simple piping tip, using a decorative piping tip is going to add a great touch to the overall decoration and it is definitely something that professional bakers do with their desserts. The decorating piping tips are super easy to use and can be used just like the ordinary tips to decorate the cake surface.
