Posted on by blogger

Cake decorating is one of the most fascinating and fun vocations of the culinary arts. It requires such a wide range of skills, including baking, sculpting, and a finely honed artistic sensibility to create delightful desserts that are wonderful to look at, and with a bit of luck, even better to eat. Here are some easy to follow instructions for achieving the very best conditions for cake decoration.

1. The Easiest Kind Of Cake To Work With
What kind of cake is the right kind of cake for decorating? It is smooth and golden brown with a springy surface, and has a slightly bouncy crust. Hopefully, the cake will be even on the bottom and the top. If you are a beginner and this is your first time baking a cake, you may want to try using a box mix that you can buy from the grocery store. Just follow the instructions on the box and youll be safe.

2. The Best Conditions For Decorating
There are certain conditions that you need to determine in order to get the best kind of cake for decorating. First, it is very important for you to let your cake cool before you begin to apply the icing. You may want to consider freezing your cake before you begin to decorate it. Freezing will allow the cake to become solid and make it easier to work with and easier to decorate.

3. Shaping Your Cake into Something Beautiful
Of course you should allow your cake to cool down completely. Take a knife and shave the crust and edges. It is best to trim the top of the cake center to make sure it is level. You will want to have a nice, even surface to work on when you apply your icing.

4. Icing your Cake
There are three basic types of icing that you have to work with. Soft icing like butter cream is usually used to cover an entire cake. Medium icing is great for creating decorative borders and puffs. Stiff icing such as fondant is great for making decorative shapes like flowers and sculpting figurines. Remember the icing is the pretty sparkle on the cake and its the glue that holds it all together.

Interior design has always been impacted by fashion trends – both historically and in the modern day. In this article series, “Designing in Style,” I explore the meaning of style for interior designers. I draw on my experience working alongside many of London’s best-known interior design teams.

This third article in my series continues my discussion of traditional/period design, with a focus on the Georgian style.

In terms of dates, the Georgian period is generally considered to have extended from 1714 until 1830. It has since inspired one of the most popular traditional interior design schemes.

London design was considered world-class in Georgian times – UK craftspeople were highly skilled and uniquely specialised. The wealthiest classes insisted on the highest quality, with exacting standards in terms of dimensions and proportions.

A few designers were particularly famous during the Georgian era. Their names, ideas and concepts live on today in the many homes and residences that feature Georgian-inspired interior designs.

William Kent lived from 1684 until 1748 and was an architect/interior designer who is best known for his tables and chairs which featured extravagant gilt decorations and strong connections to Greek and Roman insignia. Today these traditional designs continue to be used by many London Interior Design Consultancies that specialise in the Georgian style.

Thomas Chippendale is a name famous to many discerning Londoners. This cabinet-maker lived from 1718 until 1779 and designed furniture that was less ostentatious than that of William Kent, consistent with British (and London) tastes at the time, and yet exceedingly graceful and refined. Interior designers today will adopt either Chippendale’s original designs or re-envisionments/replicas of his originals.

Finally, Robert Adam was an architect and interior designer who dominated the 1770s with his vivacious use of Roman and Greek motifs, including urns, tripods, and mythological iconography.

Today, London interior design consultancies tend to be cautious with Georgian designs, recognising that this style can look pretentious if too pronounced. Larger, more spacious London mansions with tall ceilings are best suited to the Georgian style of interior design.

The next article in my series “Designing in Style” moves away from historic traditions and focuses in on a timeless interior design classic – the rural countryside.

Known for his good looks, winning personality and how he charmed women, Fritz August Breuhaus was considered to be one of Germany’s most sought after and most important architects. However, he is also known for his contributions to interior design. His interior design projects ranged from the interiors of his own flats and libraries in various parts of Europe to designing the interiors of training vessels, battleships, steamships and airplanes.

Also known as Fritz August or F.A.B, he was born on the 9th of February, 1883 to Heinrich Hugo Breuhaus and Johanne Kipling in Solingen, Germany – a steel industry centre. Friedrich pursued his studies in a well-known private boy’s high school in Oberkassel.

From 1929, Fritz August added “de Groot” to his name; to make it known that he was a descendant of Breuhaus de Groot, a famous dynasty of Dutch painters. However, in reality Fritz August was not the great-grandson or grandson of Frans Arnold Breuhaus de Groot.

Completing his schooling and graduation in the French town of Bonn, he returned to Solingen in 1900 to start apprenticeship at a steel founding firm. In 1902-03, Breuhaus studied at Hessische Technische Hochschule Darmstadt. In 1903, he studied construction science at Technische Hochschule Stuttgart and attended classes on design, watercolour painting and decorative design. In 1904, he studied at an arts and crafts school “Kunstgewerbeschule Dsseldorf”.

From 1913 to 1914, his interior design projects included a library room, a hunting room, a dining room, and also for a cabaret hall on the “Delphin”, a pleasure boat. He served in the First World War and became a sergeant. Following Breuhaus’ arrival from Russia, his life was a picture of disaster – he lost a son to pneumonia and divorced his first wife.

Breuhaus turned to fabric printing, and the designing of furniture, utilitarian and decorative objects, and wallpaper in the 1920s. He became a star in interior decoration when he furnished the first class of the luxury liner named ‘Bremen’. The period from 1920 to 1930 is marked by Breuhaus marrying again and by his winning various interior design competitions. During this period, he did interior design for steamships such as ‘Westindiendampfer’ and ‘Azorendampfer Orotava’, and also for a barbecue restaurant.

In the period from 1932 up to his death in 1960, Breuhaus’ activities included interior design for ships such as the SS Cordilliera and Gorch Fock and for the passenger section of airplanes such as the Heinkel HE 70. He also designed the interiors of an entrance hall for an organization of Berlin artists. Fritz August Breuhaus, the interior designer and architect passed away on the 2nd of December, 1960.
