Cake Frosting
How could I preserve cake/frosting decorations?

I wanted to save/preserve a pair of baby booties made from frosting for a long time hopefully. I removed them from the cake and have them sitting in open air to harden. Do you think I could harden them up with shallock or hairspray or something? Any ideas? Not for future consumption obviously but just to save long enough for her to see them someday. Thanks in advance.

Try putting them in the freezer. The hard, durable type of decorations are made out of something called royal icing. It contains egg whites and is designed to be stored long term. Regular buttercreme decorations will dry out eventually, but they will crumble. I don’t recommend hairspray or other chemical. It will not interact well with the butter and sugar in icing.

Birthday Cake Design Ideas You Can Use Easily

Every birthday is a special day that deserves recognition and celebration. These are days that can commemorate the accomplishments of the past year or give good wishes for the year to come.

No matter whether the birthday is for someone who is six or sixty, a magnificent cake will help create an unforgettable memory. Any time you have to create a birthday masterpiece there are a couple of things to keep in mind: the celebrant’s interests and your own abilities.

For non-bakers, consider getting yourself a Cake Decorating kit. These will have tools to help you create many different designs easily with your icing. Instead of simply writing “Happy Birthday _______”, try to put some substance around it. A theme is a good idea. Many popular books, movies, and TV shows have toys, cards, and novelty items that can be used on a cake.

It is easy to make a basic rectangular cake, frost it green, make white, regularly spaced lines on it, and with a couple of plastic novelty toys you have a football field for the sports lover.

Another easy sport cake is a round cake frosted white with red, curved, dotted lines to make a baseball.

If you have a bit more baking experience you may want to build the cake up a bit. Creating a completely edible landscape cake can be lots of fun. If your child is interested in science you can bake one rectangular cake, two dome cakes (one baked in a 4-liter pyrex bowl and the other in a 2-liter bowl), and Cupcakes. The rectangular cake is frosted green (or any other color to make a landscape).

The dome cakes are placed on the rectangular cake, the largest first and the smaller on top of it, with a Cupcake placed on top of the smaller cake. This creates a mountain or volcano that can be covered with chocolate frosting.

If you want it to be a volcano you can scoop out the top of the cupcake and use a red frosting or homemade candy lava to put in the top of the cupcake and run rivulets down the side.

Use toys to place it in a forest or city, or use different colored frosting to put it near a river. If you want to use vanilla frosting, it can become a winter scene with a ski hill. Cakes can be really versatile!

Technically oriented individuals can try to take it to the next level: animated cakes. These cakes have moving parts and work well with a theme based cake. For example, if your child loves fairies you can make a rectangular cake. Using icing and fondant cover it with flowers, or other forest ground cover. A 30rpm motor will work with most things, but double check for yours. Place the motor inside half a plastic bottle covered in fondant to look like a stump. Use paper or light plastic fairies and attach them to the motor with thin wire to spin around the cake! You are limited only by your imagination.

How to Ice a Cake

How do i find a low competition keyword or niche on Google?

how can i go about finding the low competition highly lucrative keyword on google?

Hey there,

That’s a very good question and I’m sure you’ll be aware that there are many ways to do this.

Personally I go to the free Google keyword tool and I search using my chosen phrase.

Make sure you have the Advertiser Column and Estimated Avg. CPC and Global Monthly Search Volume Columns displayed.

Sort the order of the results by clicking on the Monthly Search Volume header.

Now what you’re looking for are results that have more than 1000 searches per month and then look to see how much competition there is. Bear in mind that the competition indicated is for Adwords/Paid Advertising on Google and doesn’t relate to the organic searches…I’ll come to that in a bit.

If you look at the values in the Estimated Avg CPC column you can see a rough estimate on how much someone would pay per click for the advertising so if you see anything above say, $1 you can assume that they are making money in that niche.

If you now go over to Google and search using you chosen keyword you’ll see near the top the number of pages containing the keyword or phrase you enter. Don’t rely too much on this number because the majority of the pages further down the results pages will be completely unrelated.

You can delve a little deeper by typing in your search phrase within double quotes like this – “your keyword”. This means Google will then give you results where your phrase is used exactly how you typed it. Normally the number of results will go down I would suggest low competition would be anything less than 10,000. Higher numbers are possible to compete with you just have to put more work in.

Also if you search for intitle:”your keyword phrase here” Google will return the number of pages that include the phrase in the title tags. This will give you an idea of how easy it will be to compete in that niche.

Regarding how lucrative a niche is one indicator is how many Adwords ads there are on the results page. These are normally at the top and down the right hand side. If there is a ‘More Sponsored Links’ article click it and see how many other advertisers are using the keyword phrase in there paid advertising, the higher the number of advertisers the more lucrative the niche.

I hope this helps, if you do have any further questions please drop by my blog and I’ll do my best to help.
