DESIGN OF THE TIMES ius of Gen kes tro S Do you remember your first coloring book? When you were a kid, what did you do with a box of crayons, a blank canvas and total creative freedom? When we are kids, creativity is as boundless as fearlessness. But somehow, as we get older— even in a creative field such as cake decorating—we sometimes let the fear get the best of us. You might think to yourself, “I’m not a painter,” or “I can’t draw.” But it’s time to let go of that fear! Break out the brushes and let the colors flow. Painting on cakes is quickly becoming the next big trend in decorating. First, you want to make impressions with flower- and ivy-shaped cookie cutters; you’ll want to have an array of sizes and shapes so you can place the images inside one another. “Folk art is design on design on design,” Beg says. When making your impressions, be sure to leave enough space between each impression so you can fill it in with different colors. Push gently on the fondant—you only want to make a groove deep enough to create an outline, not to cut all the way through the fondant. Once you’re ready to make impressions on Folk Art Zane Beg of The Sweet Life in Washington, DC, and veteran competitor on Food Network and TLC, is blazing a trail when it comes to folk art painting on fondant cakes. He suggests when getting started on folk painting, that you practice on a fondant-covered cake board first. This will give you a chance to get acquainted with designs and colors before tackling designs on a cake. Zane Beg’s folk art designs are becoming wildly popular at The Sweet Life. 36 · BAKING BUYER · SEPTEMBER 11
