We followed the directions on the box, popped out a halfway decent cake, then messed it all up with goopy gobs of overly sweet grocery store-bought frostings. In the end, all we had was an amorphous messy suggestion of a cake that everyone balked at.
Sounds unfair, but it happens all too often. After all, we eat with our eyes first.

Call In Some Air Support
Pick up an airbrush for your next cake decorating mission, and watch the colors fly.
Airbrush decorating is especially effective on fondant icing, as fondant provides a uniform, even texture on the outside of your cake. Set up the airbrush and blast away to release your inner graffiti artists.
Great airbrush technique will help you create space and galaxy themed cakes, gradients, shimmering, glittery colors, or rainbows.
White fondant makes the best canvas, but any color will work. For a stunning pop of color and contrast, try using stencils or cutouts on your fondant-coated cake and spray away until the only uncovered area is beneath your stencil. If you applied it correctly, you will be left with crisp clean lines that look super professional.

Spatulas of All Sizes
Every baker worth their salt (and sugar!) knows you need at least a handful of spatulas to get the job done right.
Spatulas help make mixing a pinch when it’s time to make batters, frostings, icings, and other mixtures. A great spatula helps scoop the batter to the pan and smooth it out as well so that your cake bakes uniformly.
Need to frost the cake after it cools? A trusty spatula is all you need.
Candyland Crafts has spatulas of all sizes for all applications.
Smoothers, Rollers, and Scrapers, Oh My!
