The Wilton Method

The Wilton Method is a specialized icing technique used in cake decorating, focusing on creating smooth, professionally finished surfaces and detailed decorations. It involves applying a base layer of icing called the "crumb coat," chilling the cake to firm it up, and then adding multiple thin, even layers of icing to achieve a flawless, polished look. This method allows decorators to craft intricate designs, flowers, and patterns with precision. Overall, it emphasizes patience, even application, and careful preparation to produce beautifully decorated cakes suitable for various occasions.
