Start With A Design

When considering what a cake should look like, there are several questions to answer.
  • What is the occasion?
  • Who are you celebrating?
  • Does the person have any hobbies?
  • What are their favorite colors?
As I build this blog, and display my cakes, I will explain how I developed the design for each cake before I ever took out a bowl or pan. Most of the time is spent on the design, which I do in my head, with only a few rough pictures to achieve the correct proportions. I barely use drawings. Some people have more success creating their design on paper. If this is you, then use paper.
