How To Make A Elegant Cake

In today's video tutorial, I'g going to prove yous how to make a cake with elegant piping as well as a beautiful mucilage paste bow.

Elegant Pipage for Cakes

The elegant piping for this cake has a frail feel, which is perfect for all sorts of special occasions including weddings and bridal showers.

Although it may seem a bit intimidating to try, the piped pattern really quite elementary to achieve through the repetition of a few unproblematic shapes and scrolls.

As you lot can see in the photo, I have a lot of simple daisy shapes, leaves, and a few scrolls here and in that location with lots of dots for filler.

When these buttercream details are piped so shut together, they take on the look of lace.

I dearest cakes that incorporate scrollwork and while most of our pipe in today's tutorial is made up of simple flowers, dots, and leaves, it has a similar feel.

Gum Paste Bow

I really honey mucilage paste bows also and am e'er excited to include them in our cake tutorials. This cake only wouldn't be the same without it!

This is the first gum paste bow that I have busy with buttercream piping and I beloved the wait! It goes so nicely with our cake design.

Materials:

(This cake consists of an 8 inch tier and half-dozen inch tier. Each tier is on information technology'southward own cake cardboard cut down to size, and is frosted in our fluffy vanilla buttercream. We used bubble tea straw as supports below the top tier.)

Gum Paste (or fondant with tylose powder kneaded into information technology)

Buttercream (Nosotros used our Fluffy Vanilla Buttercream recipe). We do recommend either a crusting buttercream or royal icing for the scrollwork on the bow.)

Piping Tips: We used a small round tip three for the piping on the cake, and a small round tip 2 for the scrollwork on the bow.

Coloring Gel: We used Americolor Ivory to lightly tint most of our buttercream frosting but nosotros did reserve plain white buttercream for our piping.

Piping Gel (or your edible/food-safe agglutinative of choice)

Sugar Pearls– Optional – nosotros added them here and there on our scrollwork and piping.

Miscellaneous: Spatula for frosting, we used a demote scraper, turntable (optional), pedestal or cake base of operations of choice, ruler, sharp knife or x-acto.

Notes on Gum Paste Bow Cake Topper:

Our gum paste bow strips to create the loops were 3 inches wide and 7 inches long.

We too created two tails (we applied while nonetheless soft) that were also three inches wide although slightly shorter in length.

Dry Times for Gum Paste Bow

If possible, dry your bow loops a solar day or 2 in advance and then that you can ensure that the loops will be thoroughly dry when set to identify on the cake.

If y'all don't have gum paste, you'll desire to knead tylose pulverisation into your fondant to achieve a consistency closer to gum paste. Information technology will dry more apace and much stronger than straight fondant.

Can Gum Paste Bow sit on Buttercream?

We used crusting buttercream to pipe scrollwork onto our bow. I don't think it would piece of work likewise with a non-crusting buttercream due to the additional moisture.

However, royal icing is a great option too for the bow's scrollwork and would dry out firm enough that you lot wouldn't accept to worry about accidentally smudging it (peculiarly if you plan to pipe the scrollwork before placing it onto the block).

Can the Gum paste Bow be Refrigerated along with the Cake?

We have never had any problems with refrigerating our completed cakes with a gum paste bow on top.

However, everyone's refrigerators are unlike (too as humidity levels, brand/recipe of glue paste etc.).

If yous have never attempted to refrigerate your gum paste or fondant pieces, it's best to do a trial run with a chip piece of fondant or miniature bow so that y'all know what to wait. If necessary, you lot can just employ the bow closer to the time of the event.
