For cake decorators, may I suggest that you take a basic Drawing and Painting class? It will help you understand how to make your designs neater and paint more realistically and understand how to use your paintbrushes and colours better (rather than laying a flat colour). Also, to learn moulding, if you don't want to waste fondant practising, why not try plasticine and practise then when you get a hang of it, execute the design in fondant.

Lai lai!! grin I have refused to learn, several times. I'm a cake eater, not a cake maker wink

My strong point is design and painting and moulding, not the baking itself. Which is why most of these images I put up were fondant designs, because that's what I got asked, "how do i mould and paint more realistically" or "how do i execute this? "

interesting. still you can if you have a passion for it. There lots of bakers out there who don't know sugarcrafts so they just bake and take to professional sugarcrafters/cake decorators to do the finishing. lol

Funny enough, the sugarcrafter place I know, I think their cakes are not great. Dry-ish, and their confectionery is not so hot. But they do good sugarcraft.

Superhero cakes: Superheroes are very popular right now and it could be a birthday cake or a daring wedding cake. It certainly won't look bad at an office party.

Re: Cake-spiration! by Onegai(f): 8:26pm On Dec 18, 2015
I'll post four unique cakes now. They will stand out as excellent designs for birthday cakes or appreciation cakes. Notice how you can use a cake to highlight a client's tastes or hobbies.

And we're back!

Gold cakes: I've always loved a wedding cake that is different and in our part of the world, gold is special. Why not offer your clients this option, as a way to have another unique option at their special celebration.

Re: Cake-spiration! by Onegai(f): 7:41am On Dec 24, 2015
More gold came inspiration: try the look with edible glitter.

Nautical cakes: for lovers of the sea, anyone who likes swimming or just likes something fun.

Coloured cakes: it's getting boring seeing the usual traditional design for traditional wedding cakes (the talking drum, red beads or the couple). How about making their cake resemble their asoebi instead? Take a page out of Indian wedding cakes and encourage your bride and groom to try these instead:
