We've all come across those desserts that look too stunning to consume, but we might just sneak a bite anyway. For any aspirational baker or chef, the decorating and plating process is just as important as the cooking process. In fact, in many cases, so much emphasis and creativity is placed on the decorating portion that the cook becomes an artist and the food is suddenly a masterpiece.
When it comes to baking, the options for decorating are endless. Frostings, fondants, sugar crisps and more can all be combined to create positively beautiful desserts. Take Gretchen's desserts, for example. Gretchen from Gretchen's Bakery is a popular baker and blogger who is always looking for fun and creative ways to bring her desserts to life.
