Cake Decorating Schools

Icing the Cake
There's more to making a cake than mixing, baking, and stacking its layers. A lot more. It's called frosting. Without icing, it's just a plain sponge of baked sugar, flour, butter, and eggs. But once iced, a cake can become a culinary work of art. Are you a dessert lover with an artistic flair? Working as a cake decorator could be a terrific way to earn money: you get to piece the cake together, sculpting it, layering on the frosting, drawing or lettering the top, decorating it just so. It's like fashion design for cakes. You'll make cakes look as good as they taste.

How to Begin
If crafting beautiful cakes appeals to you, consider looking into cake decorating schools. By enrolling in classes you can begin to pick up the skills and knowledge you'll need: basic recipes for different kinds of frostings and glazes, color theory, the art of sugar-sculpture, lettering and drawing techniques, plating (presentation) strategies, and how to garnish with fresh ingredients like berries, mint, or chocolate shavings. Courses may also provide business training to help you serve your customers and run your portion of the bakery efficiently.

Job Opportunities
If you're a cake decorator at a grocery store, you may gain promotion into management positions. Transfer to the role of baker or into a baking apprenticeship is also possible. Other possible options can include employment at a high-end bakery, specialty cake store, or even opening your own business.
