CAKES AND DECORATING
Acclaimed wedding cake decorator Ron Ben-Israel
suggests that cake decorators must aspire to make their
own creations based on any number of inspirations. "If
you want to make your own creation, you can charge
much more for your cake."
"How do you get ideas to make a cake?" he adds.
"You look online and in books. Social media is amazing.
Without it, where would we be?"
Ben-Israel draws inspiration from fashion, graphic
design, nature and architecture, among other things. "I
went to visit Martha Stewart and saw her wonderful bushes
of hydrangeas. That inspired me to make hydrangeas
when no one else was doing that."
Painted cakes have made their way deep into the
fabric of celebration cakes, according to award-winning
cake artist Mark Seaman. This includes buttercream cakes
for birthdays.
"Decorators use a variety of shades of a color or full
palettes of buttercream to create the effect that the cake
has been painted with watercolor paints," Seaman says.
"For fondant cakes, use colored cocoa butter for a rich
look." In other suggestions, think about any hobbies
or special interests that the guest of honor has before
ordering a birthday cake, Seaman recommends. This
will help the decorator suggest unique designs. "Be ready
to answer questions such as the person's favorite color,"
he suggests. "It's also just as helpful to tell the decorator
about things the person does not like."
At Pasteles Cisne, their retail business has more than
doubled in less than a year after opening their first store.
They started with four employees and now have eight,
and a big part of their success can be attributed to their
unique cake designs, which revolve around the creative
use of fresh fruit.
They make assorted flavors, including mango tres leches
cakes that are popular for holiday celebrations.
Weddings and quinceañeras are their specialty. Chora
says they made several cakes for a quinceañera that involved
creating matching designs of mango and strawberry slices
on five different cakes: two sheet cakes and three two
layer-cakes. The end result was awe inspiring.
"We listen to the customers and pay attention to what
they are wanting on their cakes," he says of their secret
to success. "We don't get complaints. That makes us feel
very good about the cakes we are creating."
