Decorating Cakes has been all over the world and I can decorate in many different Styles. According to cake decorating corner "decorating cakes" is defined as: "First and foremost, don't get discouraged you shouldn't judge your abilities by your first few cakes. Just as riding a bicycle is awkward in the beginning, practice makes if effortless pleasure."

In other words, decorating cakes os not simple or hard. When you are a starter you always wouldn't be perfect there's always a mistake that you have to fix, and there's always a mistake that you have to fix, and there's always a way that I can guide to be an awesome decorator. For example if I decorate a cake I will plan my cake out on a paper first to give myself a guide to follow. If the cake is large I will choose decorations in porpotion, Likewise if my cake is smaller I will decorate with smaller tips and simple designs.

We see beautiful cakes with beautiful decorations in Bakery Stores where they sell cakes and bread too.I am most interested in decorating cake because I am a good designer and I'm for sure that if im a good designer I will be a good decorator. This interest me because it seems fun and easy by looking the cakes that some other people can decorate, and if I'm a good desgner I could be a good decorator.
