I don’t know if you have every watched the show Ace of Cakes. If you really like to bake or create your own cakes, you would really enjoy watching this show. This show is about a bakery that can design just about anything you want. Many people will bring in a picture of a particular item that they want the cake to look like, and a few days later the cake is finished.

This is a very interesting show. They show step by step how each one of their featured cakes are designed and put together. When they create the cakes, they make sure that 95% of the cake is edible.

The designers use all kinds of frosting techniques. Fondant seems to be a favorite because it will hold the shape for long periods of time unlike regular frosting that can melt. They color the frosting or fondant with air guns so that they get just the right amount of coloring for each piece of the cake. Sometimes they have so many different parts to each cake that it may take them four or five days to frost and put together.

If you enjoy baking and creating your own masterpiece, then this is definitely a show that you would like to watch. You can really learn a lot about how to use certain techniques to get the end result that you are wanting. I know from experience that making a cake and decorating it can become a disaster very quickly. This show has given me a lot of helpful tips to keep this from happening.
