Making the Cake

Baking and icing the cakes properly is as important as precise decorating. Your flowers, borders and other designs will look their best when you start on a perfect surface. The baked cake should be a light, golden brown with a level top and straight sides. The iced surface should look smooth as a piano finish, with no peaks or gaps to distract the eye.
