Top 5 Cake-Decorating Tips

Get free Wilton Decorating Tools

1. Always place cake to be decorated on a serving platter with several narrow strips of waxed paper under the edges of the cake to protect the plate. When finished frosting, gently pull out the waxed paper.

2. Brush off any excess crumbs from the cake. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake to "set" the rest, then apply the final frosting and/or decorations.

3. Use paste food coloring to get the most vivid colors. Gradually add color to frosting with a toothpick.

4. Stand narrow end of decorating bag in measuring cup or drinking glass when filling. Fill bag halfway with frosting for easier handling. (Note: A sturdy self-sealing plastic bag makes a good substitute for a decorating bag.)

5. Hold decorating tip close to the surface of your cake and squeeze bag with even pressure. Use your other hand to keep bag steady.
