Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi, Paul says on the new tutorial that he has put on templates for practising lines, circles and lettering, but I cannot find them…. can anyone help I am new to the online course and still trying to find my way round.
Thank you
Alison

Hi alisonwarn

The templates haven’t been added yet but they will be eventually. In the meanwhile if you’re raring to get practicing just make some lines and geometric shapes on some paper and start piping. The lines are for learning pressure control technique for the icing bag, so really you could just draw any shapes you like, it doesn’t have to be exactly like what you see on the tutorial. If you’ve got a geometric set you could use a compass and pencil to draw circles, semi circle, arcs and curves, free hand draw some undulating, a ruler for straight lines. When I want to practice letters I trace them on parchment paper and pipe directing on to it. These are some ideas to get you started until the templates are added.. I hope you’ll find some of these suggestions useful. x

Hi Alisonwarn,

You can also use Christmas Cards for festive themes, or if you are going to be doing children’s cakes, then perhaps something like a colouring book and cover the image with parchment and off you go!

Have fun!

Thank you both brilliant ideas…. off to try them now x 🙂
