Has anyone ever wondered....
How is it that the pictures of weddings cakes(from designers), real cakes ones that , appear to be so perfect? correctly formed, no flaws, ie bumps,
each layer is perfect looking, each layer appear to be just the correct
height. No saging, just even.> Do they use the same supports, dowels and plates?
Do they use denser cakes?
Just wondering!
My thoughts are that they have the facilities to create flawless works and are able to set aside time to accomplish them. I have seen perfect cakes produced using the same supports, doweling and plates that most decorators use or what is more widely available.
Each ran into some degree of aggrevation with their design but through determination, perfection resulted. I mean, it wasn't like everything just came together without having to redo something.
my opinion...its a mix of all of the above, but mostly the second answer by all4cake. i think an experinced decorator will push though...everyone has issues, but practice practice practice, pushes one to improve and overcome problems with grace. some designers are just really really good at what they do.
Practice, practice and more practice. Nobody starts out perfect. But everybody starts out at the same place: wanting to do this technique, or accomplish that certain look. And by the time you see them featured in a magazine, or wherever, they've probably made hundreds of cakes that DIDN'T turn out perfect.
It's all in the practicing and the trial and error.

I once watched a documentary on food photography and they showed a number of interesting things.
1. Some foods were not real, period.
2. Some foods that were real were painted, etc. with non-edible items to give the "expected look"- roasted turkey was a prime example- they used spray paint.
3 The photographer rejected 95% of the items offered to be photographed as "not perfect enough", and then he used the computer to "enhance" even those.
Those are all I remember, but it's enough to get the point across!
