I decorated this tiny cake this morning as an example for the class that I am doing tonight for the Mia Maids (14-15 year old girls at church). It took me 5 minutes and is the easiest way to get an impressive finish without worrying about smoothing out the frosting.
I thought it would be fun for them to not just have a free-for-all with frosting, but actually learn a technique that they could easily replicate.
Here is a quick video on how to ruffle a cake for anyone interested. You need a petal tip (103/104).
That cake sure looks pretty, but not being a frosting person I would for sure be in sugar shock. What a perfect thing for teenagers to learn!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty and different for a change! I was surprised to learn it wasn't very hard to do. What a great way to look like you actually know I thing or two about baking without having to work your butt off! Great idea. Thanks for showing us how. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this looks yummy!!
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks so beautiful! I need to keep this idea in my head for Mother's Day! Another decorating idea to teach that age group is the squiggle technique...

Very pretty! Do the ruffles stay attached well when you slice and serve?
ReplyDeleteI really like the ruffles, I've never seen a cake decorated this way! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! I will definitely be needing the video tutorial though! LOL Putting in my FB page tonight! :)
