Basket weave
Piping technique in which icing is woven into a wicker-basket pattern.
Dragées
Tiny balls of sugar painted with edible gold or silver paint.
Piping
Icing is squeezed through the tip of a pastry bag to create different designs.
Pulled sugar
Sugar-and-corn syrup mixture used to make edible, satinlike bows and ribbons. Impossible to transport; embellishments must be created onsite.
Gumpaste
Sugary doughlike substance used to make realistic-looking edible flowers, bows, and fruits. Unlike fondant, gumpaste hardens when it dries.
Latticework
Icing woven into a pattern that resembles a lattice trellis.
Scrollwork
Curvy patterns of icing ranging from simple to intricate.
Spun sugar
Similar to pulled sugar but more delicate and flimsy (sometimes called angel's hair). Spun sugar creates gossamer strands; designs must be created on-site.
Swiss dot
Tiny dots of icing in a random pattern.
