How to WRITE ON A CAKE - -(Tracing HACK)- - taste bakery

hey guys it's Jen welcome back to my channel do you struggle writing on cakes or you have to learn and you're a little bit nervous to get started I have a great hack for writing on cakes with this hack you can trace you can try and try again without ruining your cake you can even pipe your writing ahead of time and put it on your cake later and you don't have to worry about food coloring bleeding into your cake sound good to you then let's do this you want to get as much as you can prepared ahead of time for this so go ahead and prepare your Piping Bag I I like to use a tip number four for this that's a bigger opening than I usually use to write but you'll see why it's it's good for this in a minute okay then write out your letters that you want to trace I like to write straight up and down cursive I just feel that's easier to pipe try and make the spacing between the letters a little bigger than normal or if you're doing this CU you don't really like your handwriting or you have a specific font you can go ahead and just print that out I like to then tape that on the back of a cookie sheet and and then tape some parchment paper over that that's where you're going to do your piping on the parchment paper now this is awesome cuz if you screw up you just take the parchment paper crumple it up throw it away start over now that everything's prepared we are going to take our candy melt or white chocolate and microwave them just follow the directions on the back it's usually like a minute at 50% power and then 30 second intervals after that if you're finding that the melted chocolate is too thick you can add some uh vegetable shortening or disc go once you have your white chocolate a consistency you like then you can color it whatever color you want using gel based icing color Wilton's an easily accessible option usually at grocery stores or you can keep it white and painted which is not necessary unless you're going to use my favorite color which is gold I have a video on that actually how to paint your letters gold all right put it in your Piping Bag test it out a little bit it's probably going to be a little less pressure needed than with buttercream now the writing technique is a whole another video check out my seven secrets on how to write on a cake it'll really help you out I use buttercream in that video but it's the same same deal okay go ahead and trace it and then you can let it sit to harden or you can put it in the refrigerator the freezer if you really want to have it go fast and then once it's Harden you just simply scrape it up and place it onto your cake make sure your cake is chilled first so the buttercreams nice and hard if you own a bakery it can be hard sometimes to find people who are good at writing on cake so this is really awesome because you can have the person who's really good at it do it ahead of time and then the other person can just place it right on the cake thank you guys so much for watching and I can't wait to see you next time
