First, the cake embryo. Personally, I think the cake embryo used to decorate the cake is not as strict as eating it directly. Be sure to make Qifeng cake that does not crack or shrink. As long as the Qifeng cake you bake tastes good, it can also be used to decorate flowers. Let's talk about cracking first. We can cut the cracked part horizontally with a bread knife, and then put the bottom of the cake up when decorating, because the bottom is relatively flat.
Let's talk about withdrawing the manuscript first. If the baked Qifeng has some shrinkage, it's no problem. You can cut the cake into two pieces horizontally, put cream in the middle to make a fruit sandwich, then put a layer of cream on it and put the cake slices on it. In this way, the height of the cake is enough, and even if it is retracted, it will not affect the final effect. Although the requirements for cake embryos are not strict, some minor problems do not matter. But most importantly, the Qifeng cake you make must be delicious. If it doesn't swell at all and tastes solid, it's really useless. Then talk about buttering up. Butter butter only needs to be wet and foamed, and it doesn't need to be very fat. To tell you the truth, I didn't go smoothly at this step either. It doesn't matter. We can cover it up in the next step. In addition, when smearing cream, the cream on the spatula may get some cake crumbs, so before scooping new cream, be sure to wipe the spatula clean, and don't let clean cream get cake crumbs. Finally, the decoration. You may have found that the present decorated cake tends to be simple, with no bright flowers and leaves, no exaggerated animal shapes, only simple lines and fresh fruits, which will be more perfect if some chocolate accessories are added. If you think the edge of the cake is not easy to handle, you can stick chocolate chips on the edge or stick some nuts on the edge. They are all beautiful. Having said that, in short, the decoration of the cake is not difficult! Of course, my method is only suitable for people who are not good at decorating flowers, and those cake chefs may despise my method.
