01/4 How to make whipped cream for cake decoration

When it comes to cakes, the beauty lies in the perfect decorated topping which is usually done using frosting. Whipped cream not only gives the much needed softness to the cake but also adds an extra flavour. If you too are fond of baking and want to make a bakery-like cake at home, then you need to bookmark the below given frosting recipes. Made with some basic ingredients, all you need to do is put it in a piping bag to make the frosting of your choice.

02/4 Vanilla Whipped-Cream Frosting

Ingredients required- 2 cups of heavy cream, 4 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Method-

Put the bowl and whisker in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Now pour the heavy cream in the bowl and whisk using an electric whisk on medium speed until it just starts to thicken.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whisk it.
Continue whisking it until stiff peaks are formed (the cream will stand up straight when the whisk is raised).
You can also use the flavour of your choice instead of vanilla. You can add strawberry syrup, lemon juice and orange extract to give a different flavour to the frosting.
