Pattern Cake – Make your cake aesthetically attractive

It has often been said that a dish that is presented well appeals to the eye and makes one want to savor it immediately. If a pattern cake rather than a plain cake is added to any occasion, it adds to the quotient of fun and everyone waits for the moment when they can bite into the cake.

A pattern cake can have any kind of design on it. It can be a butterfly, doll or an exotic design. It could also have just different colored flowers. The choice of pattern depends on the choice of the person for whom the cake has been prepared. Pattern cakes are sometimes also prepared according to the theme of the parties.

If you are baking a cake at home, the technique of transferring a pattern on the cake is not very difficult. First make a copy of the pattern that you want to put on the cake. If required, it can be enlarged. Make sure that you make the pattern in the reverse since the paper will be placed on the cake. Take parchment paper and cover the pattern with it. Take a pin and punch holes along the lines of the pattern. Now put a thin coating of the icing on the cake top and leave it for sometime to set. Now take the punched parchment paper and place it on the icing. Gently trace the lines with a brush or with your fingers and pull off the paper. Whao! Your pattern is on the cake.

When it comes to the birthday of children, one can get very innovative and creative with the patterns. Lady bugs, monkeys, duckling, cats or anything that your child likes can be patterned on the cake. The joy of making a child’s dream cake come true is something that cannot be explained especially if you do it yourself.

Another excellent way to decorate a cake is to have a crochet cake. Different patterns and designs are made with the help of crochet and they are placed as decoration on top or around the cake. For example if you have made a strawberry cake, you can place crocheted strawberry on and around the cake. It will certainly increase the aesthetic appeal of the cake. If you have a simple sponge cake it can be decorated by placing crochet dolls, elephants, ducks, and flowers.

Wedding cakes are very often decorated with crocheted patterns that are associated with a wedding. Crochet cake is a thoughtful yet a simple method that not only makes the cake appealing but also to a way to add a personal touch to the cake. If you are crocheting the pattern yourself, then it will make the person for whom the cake had been decorated very happy.

A cake with a pattern or a design is sure to tempt the taste buds of one and all. So get rolling and watch the glitter in everyone’s eyes as they look at the attractive pattern cake or crochet cake that has been made.
