Uses of Acetate Sheets in Cake Decorating

In the case of cake decorating, big results can be achieved with small tools. Acetate sheets are one of such tools. These transparent, bendable papers are a hidden strength of most bakers. We adore how they can make smooth and clean designs at Baking Pleasures and appear professional. You may be surprised at how handy acetate can be in your baking, as you may have never used it ever. Since it is possible to decorate your cakes and desserts with acetate sheets, it is worth discussing some simple and entertaining methods of doing it.

Preparing Smooth Chocolate Wraps

Chocolate wraps are best done using acetate sheets. They are used to mold melted chocolate which cools and becomes solid. The sheet does not stick to the chocolate. After you set it you remove the acetate, then you have a lovely, smooth strip of chocolate. This covering can be used to cover a cake to give a classy finish. You can even sprinkle the chocolate with edible glitter or the sprinkles of a variety of colours. This is just an easy trick to make any cake look like it is a bakery cake.

Moulding Mousse and Layer Cakes

Acetate sheets are quite useful when you prefer to prepare mousse cakes or layered desserts. You may also line your Cake Tin or cake mould with the sheet. This makes the edges of your cake clean and smooth as it goes. After the cake is done, it is then easy to remove the cake using the sheet and the cake does not spoil the shape. This can be applied especially on upscale desserts such as a dolly varden cake or mousse layered cakes. The effect is pure, straight sides that are simple to work on with fondant or piping bag decorating.

Making Chocolate Decorations

Acetate sheets are used by many bakers to create chocolate shapes and toppers. You may also pour melted chocolate on the sheet and shape it with cutters or knife. When the chocolate has set, you remove the chocolate off the sheet, and you are ready to go. These are decorations which may be applied on cakes, cupcake toppers or even baby shower cupcakes. They can be combined with edible eyes or Food colouring to create fun themed designs. It is an imaginative and simple manner of making your cakes unique.

Safe Delivery of Cakes

Packing Cakes and desserts can also be done using acetate sheets. They can be used to cover fragile designs or chocolate work when placed in a Cake box or Cupcake boxes. The sheet is used to prevent decorations being smudged in the trip. This tiny trick will assist you to ensure your cakes are delivered as gorgeous as you packed them. It is a clever move by bakers who usually carry cakes to the events or sell baked goods via online baking provisions.

Conclusion

A very effective tool in cake decorating is the acetate sheets. Every baker is welcome to give them a taste at Baking Pleasures. Whether it be chocolate coverings to straight edges of your cake, they make your work presentable and neat. They are easy to decorate especially when they are combined with fondant, sprinkles or fun cupcake liners. Acetate is a must have in your cake decorating tool kit, and you will be surprised at how it can turn your bakes around.
