翻糖魅力無法擋The Magic of Fondant

花式蛋糕藝術界的新寵兒 The secret to amazing cake art

每一個新娘都夢想能有個完美的婚禮；而對西方新娘而言，完美的婚禮一定要有一個完美的蛋糕。

不過，完美對不同人來說可能代表著不同的東西。

一個奶油糖霜搭配些許裝飾的簡單蛋糕，對某些人而言就很好了。

可是有些新娘子就非常渴望具有創意的東西；而她們的完美蛋糕要靠「翻糖」才能美夢成真。

翻糖以糖、水和玉米精漿製作而成，但卻非因其風味而受到歡迎；畢竟人們用光滑翻糖皮覆蓋蛋糕並不是為了改善口感。

事實上，很多人根本不喜歡翻糖本身的味道。

然而，翻糖在裝飾面的可能性就無窮無盡了，蛋糕裝飾藝術家幾乎能將之應用於任何東西；其可能性沒有極限。

翻糖不僅讓蛋糕看起來專業，還能保持蛋糕的新鮮度；賞味時間比起只添加奶油糖霜的蛋糕延長很多。

Every bride dreams of a perfect wedding day. For Western brides no wedding day is perfect without the perfect cake. But perfect means different things to different people. A simple cake with buttercream frosting and a few decorations is fine for some. But other brides want something really creative. Their perfect cake requires fondant to make it a reality.

 It's made with sugar, water and corn syrup, but fondant is not popular for its flavor.

People don't cover a cake with smooth sheets of fondant to improve the taste. In fact, many people dislike the way that fondant tastes on its own. However, the decorating possibilities are endless, and a cake artist can do almost anything with it. The sky is the limit. Not only does it make the cake look professional, but it also keeps the cake fresh. It will be OK to eat much longer than a cake with just buttercream frosting.
