Description
Of my Project
​
I have researched and learned about cake decorating, and have really gone deep into it and studied what different types of decorations there are, what different techniques there are and how to make them, and about the equipment needed and where I can buy it. I have chosen to focus on the global context of "Personal and Cultural expression" for my project, because I really want to focus and learn about the aesthetic parts of decorating. What I have done is that I have studied about different kinds of styles that there are, different types of decorating techniques, and have observed which ones I like more, and which ones I like less, and based on this research I have developed my own aesthetic preferences in cake decorating. With this, my final product was to use all the knowledge and preferences I have gained in order to make and decorate 3 cakes of my own according to my personal style. Over the weeks of the taking action Phase, I have made prototypes of my cakes and developed and improved them, and finally made my final products, which resulted in 3 different decorated cakes.
