By mixing fresh berries with fresh blooms, this cake looks equal parts romantic and rustic—the exact vision of this hyper-personalized real wedding in San Diego. The proportions in these recipes work just right. By omitting half the liquid, you will end up with a thicker, heavier buttercream, which may make it harder to pipe and frost.
The food processor is key to making it as smooth as advertised but yes, technically you could go without it . If you skip that step, the results won’t be as fluffy or optimal for piping. You may end up with some lumps and graininess. Yes – it works with all the tips including shell border. Note that as with any piping project using natural buttercream, if you keep holding onto the piping bag, the heat of your hands will eventually melt the butter. So any time the bag is not in use, I recommend putting it down.
Chocolate & Peppermint Ice Cream Roll
I had the hardest time getting my cakes to look good and smooth. I’ve watched so many video tutorials it’s ridiculous. This book helped me the most…true story.
When I am decorating a cake I usually have a few keys supplies on hand. Also check out how to use a piping bag the right way. Line a ¼ sized sheet tray with parchment paper and cover one side with plastic wrap. Place the pretzel sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze the scales for at least 20 minutes, until firm and able to be pulled off the parchment paper by hand. Parchment paper or a countertop before attempting to pipe them directly on your cake.

Pipe the buttercream on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a tall cactus or succulent shape. Cut the tip off a piping bag in a zigzag line and fill with buttercream. Spoon the white buttercream on a flat plate and top with the blue buttercream. Arrange the scales on the cake to create a fish scale design. Use the fondant as fish fins, a tail, and an eye, and place them on the cake. Pipe some of the leftover buttercream to create a small smile and serve.
Yes – it’s the same buttercream I would use to crumb coat a cake that gets covered in fondant. I’ve really enjoyed the techniques from this ebook especially with the cake filling method. It has definitely been a good source for me. A butter cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days (it's also fine to leave a butter cake frosted with buttercream at room temperature for 3 days).

They were so informative, the perfect length and just a great resource. This ebook on buttercream is so outrageous. I feel like I have been waiting for this secret for YEARS! It was such a small price to pay to learn this trick .
Create Texture
You gotta work the fondant as opposed to letting the fondant work you, if you know what I mean. Hi Kristen, your videos helped me tremendously. I repeatedly watched your youtube videos; filling cake layers, wooden dowels, the one about condensation.
It's assembled with a super smooth buttercream that makes for the most beautiful backdrop to the cascading florals, which add just a touch of romance. This cake may be small, but it's definitely sweet. A wedding cake doesn’t always have to be sleek and smooth. Utilizing buttercream can serve as the perfect canvas to add a rustic vibe, such as chocolate drip! We love the way the chocolate drip and succulents add contrast to this smooth cake.
It shouldn’t be gritty at all by the time it’s done. Just one question, in the clip for the cascading dots, how much of the base buttercream did you start wiith? I noticed that you seem to take 3 scoops of the first two colours and then 2 scoops of the other three. Also, love the links within the book to video clips, it’s like having you in the kitchen. I love the book, I can’t put it down. I am looking forward to using some of your techniques soon.
Either way, it helps to keep the layer cakes in their pans when traveling, as per this method. The pans will prevent outside elements from leaking in and will also hold the layers together all together nice and snug. As for your fondant woes, I get so many requests to do videos on fondant but all my work with that medium was done at a job where there was no time to spare. How to check if the cake is cooked - start checking if it’s ready approximately 10 minutes before the recipe states. The cake is ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Spread the buttercream frosting over the cooled cake and serve.
