Calligraphy is pretty on-trend at the moment plus it’s so stylish! It makes sense to add it to cakes and cupcakes right? Well the lovely lovely folks over at Craftsy.com let us share a tutorial via their blog on how to add calligraphy messages to cakes! Yay! We created the adorable Kate Spade inspired cupcakes above to help illustrate just how we add chic calligraphy style text onto fondant!
How to add cake calligraphy to sweet treats!
Looks impressive, oh so fashionable and possibly quite hard doesn’t it? Sssh! Don’t tell anyone, but this effect is actually pretty easy to achieve. The secret (apart from having one damn steady hand and a bit of patience) is in the planning. Don’t feel bad if you can’t get a fluid word painted out in one movement because that’s not the way to do this when it comes to writing/painting on an edible surface.
Why not keep up to date and get some font inspiration from on-trend Pinterest accounts, fashionable stationary sets, stylish website designs etc for your next cake design? There are so many gorgeous handwritten style fonts as well as sleek typefaces to choose from! Heck, if you’ve got some fancy handwriting then put that to use and paint sweet messages onto freshly baked and filled macarons, fondant cupcake toppers or even cute cookies!
Happy cake-lligraphing! OK so that’s not a real word, but portmanteaus are always fun to make up right?
