Decorating Techniques
To Ice Smooth: With a spatula, place icing on cake. Spread icing over area to
be covered. For a smooth eect, run spatula lightly over the icing in the same
direction, blending it in for an even look.
To Make Outlines: Use tip 3. Hold bag at a 45° angle and touch
tip to surface. Squeeze at starting point so that icing sticks to
surface. Now raise the tip slightly and continue to squeeze. The
icing will ow out of the tip while you direct it along surface. To
end an outline, touch tip back to surface, stop squeezing and pull
away. If icing ripples, you are squeezing bag too hard. If icing outline breaks,
you are moving bag too quickly or icing is too thick.
To Outline & Pipe-In: After outlining, using the same tip, squeeze
out rows of lines to ll area. Pat icing down with ngertip dipped
in cornstarch or smooth with dampened art brush.
To Make Shells: Use tip 21. Hold decorating bag at a 45° angle,
slightly above surface with end of bag pointing towards you.
Squeeze until icing builds up and fans out into a base as you
lift tip slightly. Relax pressure as you lower tip until it touches
surface. Stop pressure and pull tip away without lifting tip o
surface to draw shell to a point. Practice this procedure until you
can produce a clean shell shape. To make a row of shells, rest head of one on
tail of preceding shell. For larger shells, increase pressure;
for smaller shells, decrease pressure.
To Make Stars: Use tip 16. Hold bag at 90° angle with tip
above surface. Squeeze until a star is formed, then stop pressure and pull tip away. Your stars will be neatly formed only if you
stop squeezing before you pull the tip away.

Use and Care: Before rst and after each use, hand wash in warm, soapy water
and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not place in dishwasher and avoid
using metal utensils. Acid from some foods may stain the pan, but occasional
staining or scratches will not aect the performance of the bakeware.
To bake cake: Preheat oven to 350°F or temperature per recipe directions. Your
cake will unmold easily, without sticking, when you prepare the pan properly. Prepare inside of pan using Wilton Bake Easy! non-stick spray or vegetable pan spray.
Or, spread Wilton Cake Release pan coating on inside of pan with pastry brush.
Make one 2-layer cake mix according to package or recipe directions. Pour the
cake batter into pan, and if necessary, spread the batter around with a spatula
to ll all areas of the pan evenly. Be careful not to touch sides or bottom of pan.
Bake cake on middle rack of 350°F oven for 35-40 minutes or until cake tests
done according to recipe directions.
Remove cake from oven and cool on cake rack for 10 minutes. While the cake
is still in the pan, carefully slice o the raised center portion of the cake. This
allows the cake to sit more level and helps prevent cracking.
To remove cake from pan, run spatula around edge, place cooling rack against
cake and turn both cake rack and pan over. Lift pan o carefully. Cool cake at
least one hour. Brush loose crumbs o cake.
To transfer cake to serving plate, hold a cake board against cake and turn both
cake and rack over. Lift o rack. Hold another board against bottom of cake and
turn cake over. Be sure to hold cake, rack and board close together while turning to prevent cake from cracking. For instructions on making a foil-wrapped
board, cut to t the cake, visit www.wilton.com.
Making Buttercream Icing: The thick, but creamy texture of this avorful icing
makes it ideal for decorating. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator
when not in use. It can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Rewhip before using. YIELD: about 3 CUPS.
½ cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
½ cup solid vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon Wilton Imitation Clear Vanilla Extract
4 cups (about 1 lb.) sifted confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons milk
In large bowl, beat butter and shortening with electric mixer until light and
uy. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on
medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has
been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until
light and uy.
Decorating with Wilton Icings:
Wilton Icing Mix: You will need 2-3 packages of our Creamy White Icing Mix.
To prepare, follow package directions. Each package makes about 2 cups icing.
Excellent for tinting any shade required. Do not refrigerate icing before decorating. Cake may be refrigerated after it is iced.
Wilton Ready-To-Use Decorator Icing: You will need approximately 2-3 cans
of our delicious white icing. Each 16 oz. can holds about 2 cups. It’s ideal for all
of your decorating needs – frosting, decorating and ower making.
Coloring Your Icing: Wilton Icing Colors are best for decorating because they
are concentrated and give the deepest, most vivid icing colors. Use a toothpick
to swirl icing color into icing, then mix well. Add color gradually until you get
the icing color you desire. Use a new toothpick each time you add more color.
