Icing Color is the basic element that adds a touch of beauty to your cake decoration. Choosing appropriate colors for your cake is important since it helps you capture the mood you want for the occasion. Your identification as a cake decorator depends on your creativity, skill and the ability to match a color or the concept of combining colors together in an artistic way. Your proficiency of working with tips, stencils, air brush etc. is important, but the most important aspect above all is your ability to combine and use colors in a proper way.
A simple icing recipe is easy to get in almost any cook book or can be found online. Generally, there needed three main ingredients- butter, sugar and milk or water needed for icing. However, you can add food color or flavor to add interest to your icing. Making homemade icing is good because you can make any color by adding a little food dye you like. And the fact is that home made products always taste best.
Consider trying a few different colors when creating your icing. What are your little girl’s favorite colors? You can use these colors for cupcake or cake decoration for their special birthdays. Make them smile with their favorite Barbie themed cupcakes and use colors like pink and blue, or simply frost the cake or cupcake in these colors and purchase edible toppers to use in top of the items. Not only can you spice up cupcakes and cakes with different color frosting, you can easily add few different items to spice them up and impress your guests.
