Cake decorating ideas and piping tips
How To Make A Pastry Cone
1. Roll out a square of parchment paper. Fold bottom edge up in a triangular fashion until it meets the top edge. Cut parchment from the roll. You will be left with a triangle.
2. Open the parchment. Use the crease as a guide to cut your triangle out.
3. On the long side of one of the triangles, draw a small line along the top of the parchment in the middle. This is where your point will form.
4. Take one corner of the paper and roll it in on itself until the corner lines up with the bottom point. Repeat with the other point, folding the point down and to the back. The two sides will line up down the middle of the cone.
5. Wrap clear tape around the tip of the bag to prevent the point from opening as you use it.
6. To fill the pastry cone, hold it in your hand. Put frosting on a spatula, and place spatula slowly into the bag. Pinch your fingers down on the spatula and slide the spatula out, keeping the frosting in the bag.
7. Fold the edges of the pastry cone into the middle, and roll the top of the pastry cone down to pack the frosting tightly.
8. Snip a small hole in the tip of the bag so you can pipe the frosting.
How To Work With A Pastry Bag
1. You can use either disposable or reusable pastry bags.
2. Open the pastry bag and place a coupler inside.
3. Select the cake decorating tip you want to use. Place the tip on the outside of the bag. Put a ring over the tip and screw the tip onto the bag.
4. To fill the bag, turn the top edge over. Cup your hand like a C, holding the bag, and place the edges of the bag over your hand.
5. Use a spatula to scoop the frosting inside. Fill the bag half full.
6. Bring the sides of the bag back up. Twist the sides of the bag to squeeze the frosting down towards the tip. Squeeze a little frosting back into your frosting bowl to eliminate any air bubbles.
How To Practice Piping
1. Lay a piece of parchment paper onto your counter top.
2. Prepare a pastry bag using a round cake decorating tip.
3. Twist the pastry bag and hold the bag at the back edge. Squeeze this edge to control the flow of frosting.
4. Practice making straight lines. Keep your hand moving at an even pace, and keep even pressure on the bag to ensure you have a solid, straight line.
How To Make a Shell Border
1. Place a star tip on the pastry bag.
2. Hold the bag at a 45-degree angle. Touch the bag down to the paper. Squeeze and hold in place until the design starts to bulge. Release the pressure, pull down onto the paper and release the frosting.
3. Repeat, overlapping the edge of your first scallop with the next scallop.
How To Make A Rosette
1. Place a star tip on the pastry bag.
2. Hold the pastry bag perpendicular to the surface.
3. Squeeze, rotate the bag and tail off. When you stop the flow of frosting, you are tailing off.
How To Make Bubble Letters
1. Use a pastry cone filled with frosting.
2. To make a letter H, make a dot, squeezing and holding the cone in place. Pull straight down, squeeze and hold to make another dot, and then tail off.
3. Repeat, making another line next to the first.
4. Connect the lines in the middle to complete the H.
5. If you want thicker lines, cut a larger hole in the tip of the pastry cone. Keep your scissors perpendicular to the bag when cutting to ensure a nice, neat line of frosting emerges from your pastry cone.

► Nadia’s tips on interior design ideas for the kitchen
○ Do your homework – on you!
First things first, start researching. Look through magazines and design books and take photos of kitchens you like, and ask questions of your friends.
Keep everything together in a binder so you can refer to it as you go through the process.
○ Visualize your Interior Design ideas with 3D design software
There are so many options that your kitchen project may seem overwhelming at first. This is where a good design program can really help like Homestyler so you can actually see how things will look.
Begin by entering your kitchen’s dimensions and cabinets according to your current floor plan. Then you can begin exploring your interior design ideas. See how different kinds of flooring, countertop surfaces, cabinet colors, wall colors and textures from specific manufacturers look.
○ Choosing kitchen appliances
Take stock of your daily and occasional kitchen needs. Do you cook a lot of meals or entertain much? Knowing how you will you use your kitchen will help you determine the types and grades of appliances to consider.
○ Selecting fixtures
Make sure fixtures look good and function well with the interior design and layout ideas you have. Your kitchen needs to be equally as functional as it is beautiful. Keep the work triangle in mind that goes from the sink to the refrigerator to the stove.
○ Get feedback and ask for ideas
Share your kitchen designs with friends and family and print out your design and take with you to a showroom to get advice from the pros as well.
Whether you’re a novice cook or an experienced chef, you may need a hand remodeling your kitchen. That’s where Autodesk Homestyler can be your prep chef. Let professional designer Nadia Geller show you how to use this free* online 3D home design software to help you get a taste of what various floors, appliances and countertops would look like in your space.
*Autodesk Homestyler is a free online service that provides access to home design software created by Autodesk. Free products and services are subject to the terms of use that accompany them.
How to make two kinds of panda cupcakes.
I based these on photos I found on the internet combined with my own twists.
Hello Cupcake uses a mini cupcake for the panda head, that’s cute too.

This will be the second (and last for this year) Father’s day cupcake. I saw a photo of a BBQ cake and then designed this cupcake, but then found “my” design on this website, not so original I guess, lol.
They give alternatives to different kind of food in this one (pork chops, skewers) and they use chocolate icing with orange sprinkles to make the “coals”. This is a good idea and I think was the missing “something” I was looking for.
They also use a toothpick and make “grill marks” on the food with black food colour, I also wish I would have done this too!
