An important part of the cake is the decoration of the cake because the cake dries due to contact with the air. That’s why in some cakes, the surface is completely covered with ingredients. The decorated surface prevents the passage of air and makes the cake last longer. In this article, we are going to read about cake-decorating methods.

Icing is the covering of the surface of the cake or the material that is used to cover the cake after baking. The use of icing on the surface of the cake is usually for decoration and beautification, as well as to preserve the cake. “Whipped cream, butter cream, meringue (whipped egg white), fondant or sugar paste, chocolate” are examples of layered ice. Layered icing is most used for decorating wedding cakes, birthday cakes, and cupcakes.

One of the easiest ways to decorate a cake is by sifting powdered sugar and passing it through a piece of paper with pattern cuts that is placed on the surface of the cake. In this method, colored edible powders can be used to color powdered sugar.

Some examples of decorating methods are:

Printing with edible ink

This method is one of the newest ways to decorate a cake. In this method, using food colors and a digital photo printer, they print the desired design on a thin edible paper. Then these printed photos are placed on the cake as a sheet. These photos are of high quality and their color clarity and color stability are not lost due to humidity.

Decoration with brillo:

Brillo stays like jelly and has a clear and shiny state, which is used to decorate cakes and sweets. This product has different colors and flavors that you can use according to your taste. Brillo is also used to keep fruits on cakes and sweets fresh. Brillo doesn’t have a name in Farsi, and the name it has is in Spanish, which means transparent and shiny.

Garnish with brillo:

Shine fruits:

One of the most important uses of brillo is to make fruits shiny, which prevents air from coming into contact with them. The diluted brillo is applied to the fruits using a brush so that they stay fresh and their color is preserved and they are also shiny. This makes the fruit look much more beautiful for decorating cakes and desserts.

Draw the picture on the cake:

They also use Brillo to transfer the design on the cake. That is, they use it as a printer to put the design on the cake. After the design is transferred, you can use the brillo itself to decorate cream, chocolate, etc.

Fondant glue:

Brillo is also used for decorating fondant cakes. They put the desired decoration on the back of the brillo with a brush and stick it to the cake and dessert.

Whipped cream stabilizer:

After you apply the cream and shape it, you can use Brillo to stabilize it. The starch in Brillo helps to make the cream resistant and makes the cream change its shape later at room temperature.
