Design notes

A tall page lets the design stack two tiers. The upper, narrower tier holds the organisation, the title, the name in a piped script and the program; the wider lower tier carries the statement, the skills as a bulleted list with icing-bead markers, the details row, the issue date, the credential ID, two signatures and a QR code. Bead borders and hanging string work trim each tier, and a shell border sits at the foot. It fits printing on A4 or US Letter for a portrait frame.

About

Cake Decorating Certificate Template, Two-Tier Portrait

Diploma-style cake decorating programs and weekend classes alike usually close with a practical piece: a tiered cake, covered, stacked and finished with piping and sugar work. Bakery academies, cookery schools and cake artists who teach from their own studio award this certificate when a student completes that work, and many graduates hang it beside their order counter or attach it to a portfolio for wedding and event clients.

Wording on the template“Completed every module of the course and decorated a finished showpiece cake: even buttercream and royal icing piping, fine string work, a smooth fondant finish and hand-made sugar flowers, all to a professional standard.”

Post for the recipient to share

Six weeks ago I could barely hold a piping bag steady. This week I finished my cake decorating course with a two-tier showpiece: smooth fondant, royal icing string work and my first sugar flowers. Thank you to my instructor for the patience and the honest feedback. I am proud to share my certificate and ready for the next cake. #CakeDecorating #Baking

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it upright, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
