ARE CUTTERS AND MOULDS KILLING OUR INDUSTRY ?
* police siren *
‘ Everyone , back away from your cakes and handover all fondant moulds and cutters . This is not a drill , I repeat this is not a drill ’.
There ’ s an epidemic that ’ s taking the cake world by storm .
What is it ?
Excessive use of cake decorating moulds and cutters * insert dramatic sound effect *.

It ’ s crazy that you buy moulds that replicate the appearance of buttercream icing and ruffle fondant techniques , as well as faces and flowers . No decorating skills necessary and voila ! - you have yourself a pretty decent-looking decorated cake .
Although I don ’ t want to be , I ’ m pretty damn impressed .
I see the appeal – I really do – but I can ’ t help feel that it ’ s now gone too far and we ’ re stunting our potential talent and skill .
