Episode 107: Quick & Easy Decorating
Sometimes you just don’t have the time to do all the decorating you’d like, we come to your rescue with quick and EZ decorating: adding candy pieces for a fantastic fish cake plus mini toppers and embellishments that are ready made. Staying with quick and easy, our second technique is stencil decorating with colors, sugars and even food markers. Last up, sometimes a simple sentiment is all you need – we show you how with piping gel and tube icing.
