Hi Bold Bakers!
Now I am all about easy when it comes to decorating that is why I am going to show you 4 simple
ways to decorate a cake using just a fork and a spoon.
So the first technique I am going to show you is how to make strips with a spoon.
Now all you want to do is just dip it in some hot water then dry your spoon off.
And then simply take your spoon and then gently drag it through your frosting to create a
straight line.
And then as you can see you start to see these rustic lines form.
Really pretty.
So now if you don't have a spoon you can always use a knife to create this effect.
And if you have seen my fun fete cake video.
You will see me use the some technique in that video.
So there you go.
Beautiful rustic looking lines that will look great on a cake.
So out next technique is how you can create a beautiful basket weave using a simple fork.
So all you have to do is go along a little bit one way and then down the next way.
Along and down the whole way to cover the top of your cake.
Just keep on going.
Now usually when you see this technique on a cake it is done with a special nozzle, but
not here.
We are going to use a simple fork to get a beautiful effect.
So now we have done two different techniques to decorate a cake and they look amazing our
next technique is to do a wave effect.
So like before we are going to use a nice warm spoon.
And then you want to rub it into your frosting waving back and forth, and back and forth.
As you can see this creates a rustic and unique looking frosting.
Also there is really no wrong way to do this regardless.
It is going to look beautiful.
Okay lovely there is lots of great texture here.
Now these cake decorating tips are for beginners to advanced they are really for everyone to
