In dessert making, decorating is a delicate and beautiful technique, and Korean decorating and cream decorating are two genres that have attracted much attention. Whether adding gorgeous decorations to a plain birthday cake or adding delicate flowers to an exquisite cupcake, decorating skills make all the difference.
However, there are a few key things you must know before exploring these two decorating arts. Let's explore the essence of Korean decoration and cream decoration together, and take you into this sweet world.
When it comes to Korean and cream piping, there are a few important things you need to know:
1. Mounting material: Both Korean-style mounting and cream mounting use cream as the main mounting material. Generally, the cream is whipped to a soft state and then extruded through piping nozzles of different shapes to create beautiful flowers and patterns.
2. Tools and techniques: Whether it's Korean or cream framing, you'll need some basic tools and techniques. This includes piping bags, piping tips, piping squeezers, and more.
At the same time, you also need to master the strength, angle, and speed of extrusion in order to create the desired effect
3. Flowers and patterns: You can design different flowers and patterns according to your personal creativity and preferences. In Korean mounting flowers, some symbolic patterns are usually used, such as traditional Korean patterns and shapes.
Buttercream decorations are more versatile, creating combinations of flowers, leaves, and icing.
4. Temperature and storage: Since the cream is the main material, the mounted works need to be stored at an appropriate temperature. If the weather is too hot, the buttercream tends to melt and lose its shape, so it's best to keep your decorations in the refrigerator until they need to be displayed or eaten.
5. Practice and innovation: Mounting flowers is an art that needs practice and practice to get better skills and innovative inspiration. By constantly experimenting with new patterns and using different piping tips, you can develop your own unique style and technique.
Overall, both Korean and custard decorations are beautiful art forms that can be used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts. Hope this information helps you!
