Fun Cake Decorating Idea: Quick Cookie Cutter Patterns

The star-shaped cooker cutter is used for an example. They are excellent for childrens cake, baby shower cake, or Fourth of July cake. Stars can also be used in a Congratulations cake. But you can make use of a cookie cutter of any shape that fits your cake decorating theme and concepts. Heres how it works.

You gently press the cookie cutter into the icing to produce an impression. With the icing inside the icing bag, form the tip into something round. Subsequently, you trace the stars with your icing. To create creative designs with your cake, you can decorate the newly formed stars with coloring dust to make them sparkle, silver beads on the side, icing gel, piped stars in different colors, and all other extras you can possibly think of.

One can find a wide collection of cookie cutters at large craft stores like Michaels, online at baking supply sites such as Wiltons, and in kitchen or baking specialty stores. Cookie cutters come in all shapes and sizes!

When you look for cake decorating concepts, also think about your whole cake design ideas, which will often dictate what kind of decorations youll want to make use of.

You can utilize stencils, paper snowflakes, and sugared confectioners for your dark cakes. Stencils are fun for holidays and seasonal cakesa ghost for Halloween, snowflake for winter, etc. Or for just a traditional and attractive design, use a lacy (and clean) doily for your stencil.
