Its hard and takes a lot of practice…so I'd get some friends together and tell them they'll be eating cake courtesy of you and your experiments for the next few weeks
Practice makes perfect.
Be sure the cake is fully cooled (even freeze it for a few hours) before you frost it. If you have a turntable, be sure you spin it evenly and steadily as you frost and decorate or you'll be uneven. Good luck.
Decorating a cake takes practice — but it can be done simply but still be elegant.
There is a show on public television it is called Bake, Decorate, Celebrate — They give some great ideas for cake decorating — Their website has decorating techniques (with pictures) as well as tiered construction information also with pictures for wedding cakes and it also has icing recipes. The address is: http://www.bakedecoratecelebrate.com/
Another site that is very useful for cake decorating is the Wilton site — they also have lots of decorating information. The address is: http://www.wilton.com/decorating/basic/index.cf
Good luck on your cake — enjoy!!
