The girls are working on a cake decorating badge for their girls' club, and I'm on the lookout for online (preferably free, of course
) resources to learn some new tricks myself. We are armed with a good Wilton starter kit (bags, basic tips, a spatula, and a good range of icing colors) and some wild ideas
. I'm a novice myself --have only the few cakes I've done before (simply decorated -borders, writing, ...not ventured into rose-making yet...) and watching my boss at Baskin-Robbins (in high school, long ago) do magic with decorating ice cream cakes.
Specifically, if you can point me to a good place that shows (with video? or even a good description would do) how to:
-hold the decorating bag and make simple things like drop flowers, leaves, stars, shell borders
-make and use fondant --heard it's fairly easy if you use the marshmallow stuff, but I've never tried it. Sounds like fun, though
.
thanks!
