    Cake Decorating Tips and Techniques

    The title of this page reads as cake decorating tips and techniques, but the stuff I have here is definitely useful for cupcakes and cookies too, even cake pops and just about any other decorated treats.

    I am very proud to say that this cake decorating guide page is my second most important page on this website (after my cake tutorials page). And that is partly because most of the tips and techniques I showcase here are a direct extension of my cake designs on that page so they kind of relate to one another.

    Other than techniques that relate directly to my cake designs, it is here that I share the rest of my more general ‘how-to’ techniques that can be used on cakes, cupcakes and even cookies. My gum paste flowers are all featured here. And while some are directly related to specific cake designs they can generally be used for any cake or cupcake project.

    I will be adding more tips to this page as and when I have them. So I hope you will find these cake decorating tips and tutorials useful.
