Cake Decorating Suppliers in the UK

Besides cake decorating equipment you can also buy ready made sugar and flower paste in the UK, this being available in many different colours, which together with the range of equipment and ideas means you really can achieve just about anything you want.

Colours can be used to give many different effects, it being possible by streaking colours into sugarpaste to give a marbled or variegated appearance, useful when you wish to imitate material. When considering the use of colours, a colour wheel is a useful accessory, allowing you to see how well the colours will go together. Of the colours available, Green is totally the opposite to red, so adding tiny amounts of red to a bright green will dim the green down. Orange is of course made from yellow and red, Peach being obtained by using more yellow than red. Blue can be turned mauve by adding a drop of red.

One of the more useful aspects of cake decoration, the runout allows a wide variety of designs to be made. The list includes letters, numbers, heraldry, figures, as well as flowers. The technique is not too difficult to master, providing that certain rules are followed. First, use either fresh egg whites or dried albumen powder to make the royal icing (you can now buy special powder to make runouts if you like).  Always remember to make the icing a day or two before you need it, avoiding any contact with grease particles. Stirring it lightly and frequently allows the icing to settle which removes all the air bubbles, which you need to avoid. The icing then needs to be passed through a bag to remove the rest of the air bubbles. Waxed paper is the correct choice for runouts. Never use greaseproof paper as runouts stick to it!

Embossers can be very useful if you want to decorate a cake with an animal or flower, however many sugar crafters also use items from around the house too. Remember that embossers can only be used with soft paste, the design carefully being pressed into the paste. Once dry these can be painted, dusted or used as a template for piping with royal icing.
