The Secrets of Cake Design
Professions come in all shapes and sizes, and one of the most creative is that of a cake designer.  When visiting the local bakery with its magnificent cake designs, I thought some talented soul at the bakery was responsible. But a friend of mine told me I was wrong — there are specialists who do nothing but design cakes. My friend, who has taken some classes in baking, told me that cake design has been one of the most sought after courses in food design. Well, I am not sure that I have the skill to become a professional cake designer, but I have found some tools to help me with a cake design that matches the special occasion that I am baking for.Â
For example, I have found cake molds shaped like Christmas trees for the holidays, wildflower designs for my teenager daughter’s birthday, and other shapes that make for a quick and simple design that’s easy to decorate with frosting and get me enough “oohs and ahhs” from my family to boost my ego a bit.
