Cake Decorating

                                                    Decorating Food 
    Art is everywhere in your life whether it is paper, walls, food, and many other things. Today we will focus on decorating cakes. Decorating food is much different from painting or even drawing. You need to be careful in evey single step. Cakes are decorated mostly with icing so you can't mess up. On paper, you have a choice whether you want to keep a design or not. On cakes once you make something you can't change it. So before you start decorating cakes, make sure you plan your design on a peice of paper. Here are four easy steps to decorating a cake.



                               Steps for decorating a cake
1) Plan your design on a peice of paper and make necassary changes
2) Make a final draft and set the plan and cake on a large stable table
3) Take icing and carefully draw the designs on the cake
4) It is ready to eat after a half an hour!

             Decorating a cake is not an easy task. It takes a lot of planning and work. Make sure you plan out your design before carrying it out. Use all the bright colors so you can make your cake look great. Like I said before, color naturally seems to attract people. So get started and make your cake look beautiful!

Small Space Designs


      Today I will show you how to make designs in small spaces. For small spaces, my advice would be to make sure the design is full with a small amount of white space. In small spaces the designs tend to be swirls or some kind of curved pattern. Small spaces are hard to design because every thing needs to be sharp and clear. I do not recommend marker for small spaces because it makes the sharp and clear design thick. I strongly suggest sharpened colored pencils.
       Small space designs work really well when you use them in the right areas. Use them in the side of pictures, not the middle of them. If you use them in the middle, then they will barely be seen to make them in the side of pictures. Make sure you don't just make the designs in a square. Make them in all different shapes but the size should be small for the designs to work. The photo shows a few designs you can try. That is all for now readers, keep coming back for more tips and  more ideas.
      If you want to know how to do something or have any ideas for my next post then feel free to leave a comment. I will be eager to share your ideas and show you how to make interesting pieces of art, so keep coming back and please leave comments.

                                                         MAD ART
Hi everyone! In this blog we are going to have a new topic every week.When you hear the word art, what do you think about? Do you think about... pencils? paper? paint? torture? This week is all about how to make art fun. Some people don't like art because their's doesn't turn out good. to be a successful artist you need to be organized. every time you draw make sure  you have a folder for storing finished and unfinished work, an eraser, a pencil, and colors. There are many reasons why a piece of art doesn't turn out good.



Sometimes your art becomes dull due to lack of color. So make sure you use colors like yellow,orange, red, and light green.Secondly, your art may not look flashy and attractive. For a watery scene use plastic wrap or water. Try to make a simple pencil holder out of lined paper. It is simple and easy and then you can customize it the way you like to. To make clouds that look real, use cotton or the ends of ear buds.If you are using bright colors, take a thick black marker and outline some of the edges to make the picture pop out. That is all for now. Bye!
Tip of the Week : use a light pencil while working.
