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 dike decorating is knowl-
edge and the proper use of equipment. Basi-
cally, three items are used: the decorating
cone, tips for the Cotte and the decorating
nail.
PROFESSIONALS use a paper cone to hold
the decorator kings, and with a little prac;
tice, who knows? Practice does make perfect,
so don't be discouraged after the first few
attempts. The cone js best made from vege-
table parchment, but Ntxed paper is also
good.
('tit -a 17 -inch strip from the roll. Beginning
at one corner, roll the paper to form a cone.
Make sure the one is tight and sharp to the
touch on the pointed end.
*
WITH F(, iSSORS, cut one-half inch ofl'..the
the tip. Holding the -seam together with one
hand, drop in a decorating tip with the other.
Use a.spatuta to scoop the icing into the cone.
Now fold the open end of the conedown and
roll it ,just as if you «-ere, folding the garbage
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
rakes is a natural one, so now that .the cone
is loaded you are ready, to try confectioners'
gardening.
