Eat me I'm yours...'LITTLE CAKE'

Cupcakes are now becoming so popular that they are establishing themselves in many new ways. People are for instance , sending cupcakes instead of flowers , chocolates and etc to celebrate all kinds of special occasions from weddings , Aqiqahs , anniversaries and many more. Cupcakes come in many shapes and guises , but the one thing they all have in common is that they're small , individual sized cakes decorated with pretty icing and so versatile , truly there's a cupcake design for every occasion . Cupcake tiers are now the new fashion in wedding cakes too. Cupcakes are without doubt 'a cake for all seasons' universally appreciated by young and old.....

Using Colour

Mix and match vibrant colours to make your cake designs stand out , or learn how to add subtle tones for a more delicate finish . Your skill with modelling and piping is important , but a stunning ends result hinges upon your ability to combine and use colours .

THE COLOUR WHEEL

The colour wheel helps you to see how one colour relates to another . If colour are close together on the colour wheel and have colours in common , they are said to be related . Related colours go well together . The colour wheel is made up of primary colour , secondary colour and tertiary colours .

Primary colours

Red , yellow and blue are the primary colours , they are pure colours and all other colours come from a mix of these three . Red and yellow are warm colours , and blue is cool .

Secondary colours

Secondary colours are an equal mix of two primary colours . Blue and yellow produce green , red and blue produce violet , and yellow and red produce orange .

Tertiary colours

Tertiary colours , or the third layer , come from using one primary and one secondary colour mixed together .

COLOURING VARIABLES

There are no absolutes in mixing icing colours because of the many things that can affect the colour , such as ingredients , temperature and humidity , time and light .

INGREDIENTS

Shortening , margerine and butter make colours turn darker , whereas lemon juice softens colours . If you use salt in your buttercream icing , mix your colours the night before , if the salt is not thoroughly dissolved , it will leave little light spots in your icing .

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY

In icings that contain shortening , margerine or butter , the temperature of the room , heat of your hands and warmth of the liquid you add can affect the icing colour . Warmth seems to make the colour darken or become deeper .

TIME

When using buttercream icing , soft or light colours can be made and used immediatetly and will only darken slightly . But when you are striving for dark colours , mix in the colours and then let the icing sit overnight before decorating , you won't have to use quite as much colour . Charcoal grey will turn black . and an almost red will turn bright red .

LIGHT

When your creation is finished , be careful to protect your work from sunlight or other bright lights . Pinks are especially susceptible to fading . Purples fade to blues , blues to grey , black to purple or green .
