                                                         {Betty Crocker}

_P. S._ Before you decorate, you have to _frost_ your cake! These tips
will help!

    [Illustration: After cooling cake thoroughly on rack, brush all the
    loose crumbs away with your fingers before frosting the cake.]

    [Illustration: Set one layer upside down on plate; frost top with
    about ⅓ of frosting. Set other layer on top, right-side-up.]

    [Illustration: Frost SIDES first, then top. Make attractive swirls
    with spatula, or leave smooth for added designs.]

Choose one of our five frosting mixes to be sure of perfect
frosting—always creamy-smooth and easy-spreading!




                     Quick and easy Frosting tricks
                     _no special equipment needed!_


With a fork, spoon, spatula, or a piece of string, you can make your
frosting “fancy”  ... as the simple ideas on these pages show. And with
our Betty Crocker Frosting Mixes, you can be sure of perfect
frosting—always just right to handle easily.

Use Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge, Chocolate Malt, or Peanut Creme
Frosting Mix for these tricks:

    [Illustration: Scallops—With teaspoon inverted, press tip into
    frosted cake. Repeat in rows across cake for all over design.]

    [Illustration: Spiral—Hold spatula at center of frosted cake.
    Gradually draw spatula toward you, while turning cake.]

    [Illustration: Crisscross—Draw tines of fork across cake. Repeat at
    right angles to first markings. Place colorful candies in squares.]

    [Illustration: Swirly squares—Draw lines through frosting with
    knife. Repeat at right angles, drawing lines in opposite ways.]




                The Frosting on the cake shows you care

    [Illustration: Plaid Cake—Use Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting
    Mix. Frost cake. Dip string in food coloring; stretching it taut,
    press into frosting. Repeat. Use new string for each color. Make up
    your own plaid design.]

    [Illustration: Christmas Balls—Use Betty Crocker Malt Frosting Mix.
    Frost cake. Save ¼ cup frosting. Cut tiny corner off envelope.
    Squeeze frosting through envelope to trim vari-colored flat mints.
    Press onto cake.]

    [Illustration: Hobnail Fudge Frosting—Use Betty Crocker Chocolate
    Fudge Frosting Mix. Frost top of cake thickly. Press down with bowl
    of teaspoon, swirl slightly; draw up sharply. Repeat for an all over
    hobnail design.]

    [Illustration: Glossy Web—Use Betty Crocker Peanut Creme Frosting
    Mix. Frost cake. Melt 1 sq. unsweetened chocolate (1 oz.). Dip knife
    in chocolate. Mark circles on top of cake. Draw knife out from
    center for web.]

                           with Frosting Mix!


_Quick Tricks_ with Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting Mix.

    [Illustration: Bunny: Tint ½ cup frosting pink. Fill teaspoon with
    frosting; with second spoon, ease off mounds of frosting for body
    and head of bunny. Dabs of white frosting make “cottontail” and
    ears. Add cinnamon candy eyes and coconut whiskers.]

    [Illustration: Dahlia: Tint 1 cup frosting yellow. Drop 10 mounds of
    frosting around center of cake. Draw out with spoon to make petal
    shapes. Add 10 smaller mounds for second layer of petals, pulling
    tips up with spoon. Shape center; decorate with silver dragées.]

Easy Flowers with Decorator Icing (p. 9)—or use Betty Crocker Chocolate
Fudge, Chocolate Malt, or Peanut Creme Frosting Mix. (½ cup makes 5 or 6
flowers.)

    [Illustration: Put a gumdrop on a toothpick. Fill tip end of
    teaspoon with icing, smooth it off along edge of cup.]

    [Illustration: Draw spoon gently down over gumdrop; off comes one
    petal. Continue around the gumdrop in same way.]

    [Illustration: Add a second row of petals. Place finished flower on
    cake. Remove toothpick. Repeat for flowers desired.]




                A cake’s crowning glory is its Frosting




                          Cherry Blossom Cake


    [Illustration: Cherry Blossom Cake]

    [Illustration: Cherry Blossom Cake: Use Betty Crocker Cherry Fluff
    Frosting Mix. Frost cake. Save ½ cup frosting; tint deeper pink with
    red food coloring. Half-fill teaspoon; with second teaspoon, ease
    each petal onto cake. Sprinkle centers with yellow sugar.]




                          Your Decorating Set


Many different decorating tips are available—but these basic 5 will make
all the glamor cakes shown in this book. If you have a set, select these
tips by their numbers. Or you can get this basic set for $1.00 ... see
details on p. 23.

    [Illustration: #4 writing tip ... used for writing, lattice designs,
    and other delicate patterns.]

    [Illustration: #28 star tip ... used for smaller borders, simple
    flowers, and fancy letters.]

    [Illustration: #104 petal tip ... makes petals for roses and other
    flowers, also flat ribbons and borders.]

    [Illustration: #68 leaf tip ... makes leaves, long petals, delicate
    lace borders, and edgings.]

    [Illustration: #96 flower tip ... makes many flowers like rosettes
    by a simple twist of the cone.]




                Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting Mix
              makes a wonderful can’t-fail Decorator Icing

No need to make up a special separate batch of icing to decorate your
cake! One package makes plenty to frost your cake and decorate it, too:




To 1 cup prepared Fluffy White Frosting...

Blend in 1 to 1½ cups _sifted_ confectioners’ sugar (add a little at a
      time until frosting is stiff enough to hold its shape)....

Blend in 1 tbsp. soft butter and a dash of salt.

Note: Increase sugar and butter when using more than 1 cup frosting.

_Is it thick enough? Is it thin enough?_ Try a little with the tip you
plan to use. If too thin, blend in a little more confectioners’ sugar.
If too thick, blend in a drop or two of water.


HOW TO USE YOUR CONE

    [Illustration: 1 Fit tip tightly into cone with one finger. Fill
    about half full. Fold top to keep icing in.]

    [Illustration: 2 Hold near top of cone. Use other hand to guide tip.
    For most work, hold cone at 45° angle.]

    [Illustration: 3 For drop flowers and rosettes, hold cone straight
    up and down. Press out icing, twist cone, and release.]




                  Try out your decorator set with our
                           CROSS-STITCH CAKE


Here is a simple-to-start with cake that lets you have fun trying out
all the decorator tips.

Tip: have an inverted cake pan handy, to try a few practice strokes on
the back. Afterwards, you can scrape the frosting off the pan and put it
back in your cone.


_Let’s get started!_

Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting Mix to frost cake; save 1½ cups for
Decorator Icing (p. 9). Tint ½ cup icing pale green. Make ABC’s and
cross-stitch trim using #28 star tip. Use #4 writing tip for signature
and date. Make a few flower stems in corners. Add leaves with #68 leaf
tip. Tint ½ cup icing pink. Make roses, pansies, sweet peas using #104
petal tip (see below and next page). Tint ½ cup icing yellow. Make
rosettes with #96 flower tip. Use #4 writing tip for flower centers.

TO MAKE ROSES:

    [Illustration: 1 Use #104 petal tip and flower nail. Hold cone with
    narrow opening of tip always up. Turning clockwise, make tiny circle
    for center of rose.]

    [Illustration: 2 To form first petal, make standing half circle to
    one side of center. Add two more petals, forming triangle. Add
    petals, overlapping.]

    [Illustration: 3 Remove rose from nail with kitchen shears ... cut
    almost through base of rose, place on cake, cut completely through,
    ease rose off.]

    [Illustration: A perfect cake deserves a perfect Frosting]

Pansies: Use #104 petal tip. Hold cone with wide end of tip on cake.
Make 2 flat petals, side by side. Add two smaller petals over larger
petals. Connect with 1 larger petal. Add center.

Sweet Peas: Use #104 petal tip. Hold cone at 30° angle. Make one curved
upright petal. Repeat on each side, making petals slightly flatter.
