I have recently learned about sugar paste, pastillage and fondant, which are used in decorating cakes. It makes them look really fancy, like this:
Intrigued, I picked up some books at the library and have since decided to embark upon a new frontier, that of cake decorating. Though the designs look intricate and too difficult for a beginning cake artist like myself, I hear from Meghan that it's pretty easy to use and I'll take all the encouragement I can get. Actually, I'm super excited and not really worried about how it will turn out because I have something called a good feeling about this.
As there are many tools I'll need to dive into this new-found hobby of mine, I've created a list of things to buy (or receive as gifts, hint hint) and places to buy them.
Items:
rolling pin
non-stick mat
circular cutters set
Kitchenaid tabletop mixer
specialty cutters (petals & leaves
Places:
