Planning to decorate your own wedding
cake? Nothing could be nicer than the per-
sonal touch, but to have it look professional
is also a must.
The first step to cake decorating is knowl-
edge and the proper use of equipment. Basi-
cally, three items are used: the decorating
cone, tips for the cone, and the decorating
nail.
PROFESSIONALS use a paper cone to hold
the decorator icings, and with a little prac-
tice, who knows? Practice does make perfect,
so don't be discouraged after the first few
attempts, The cone is best made from vege-
table parchment, but waxed paper is also
good.
Cut a 17-inch strip from the roll, Beginning
at one corner, roll the paper to form a •cone.
Make sure the cone is tight and sharp to the
touch on the pointed end. *
WITH SCISSORS, cut one-half inch oil' the
the tip, Holding the seam together with one
hand, drop in a decorating tip with the other.
Use a spatu)a to scoop the icing into the cone.
Now fold the open end of the conedown and
roll it. just as if you were folding the garliage
bag to throw it out.
Here is where the secret lies and also the
part that requires practice. To successfully
operate the tube, even pressures are essen-
tial. The association between flowers and
cakes is a natural one, so now that the cone
is loaded you are ready to try confectioners'
of the nail.
The flowers must dry before placing them fti
t...) on the cake, and you'll obviously want more
than one flower, so cut your two-inch squares
of waxed paper in advance. +)
As you use them place a dot of icing to ‘5* r.)
the side of the waxed paper, stick this to the 4'
nail, build the flower on the waxed paper. 0
and slide the paper with the flower on it from
the nail when it is completed,

of the nail is required. 0
To make a daisy: hold the nail perpendici- p

at the center of the waxed paper and the back P

A DAISY petal is tapered at both ends, so
pull the cone straight out from the center of
the paper, increasing pressure about halfway
out to widen the center of the petal.
Rotate the nail just enough to place an-
other petal alongside the first, Continue this 4,)
process until the flower is complete. Pipe a0i
large dot of icing at the center of the flower, 01
FOR THIS, the third implement is used; (-1
the nail. The decorating nail is made up of a
stem, held between the thumb, index and li
middle fingers. The flower should be made on r
a flat or dish shaped surface and placed on a 0
two-inch square of wax paper.

Coordination is of the essence. Pressure 0'

from the cone must coincide with the turning 4*
gardening. remove the nail and let the flower dry. 0
