I’m definitely in cake decorating mood, as you can see this is my 3rd post in a row… well I just started learn about it and find out that decorating with buttercream is so much fun.
The church community I involve in had a valentine luncheon last sunday, and I brought this cake as part of the celebration. Since the very beginning this cake was all about its decoration, I focused mostly on how it looked like than how it tasted like π … I wanted to use this cake as my learning canvas for some buttercream flower techniques I saw in pinterest. As you will see, there are variation of flowers and colors.
For the decoration portion alone I spent almost 4hours, major part was in mixing and testing the color. What can I say, I really enjoyed it.. didn’t feel that long when you did something that you like.
I’m pretty happy with the look π
Happy Valentine, hope this inspires you!





This is gorgeous! You did such an amazing job. I love the flower bouquet styled cakes but I always seem to have trouble with the the texture of my butter cream being too thin or medium thick. Any suggestions to get a smoother finish?!
I have switched to swiss buttercream, it’s easier to work with especially when you are going to mix color since it’s silky white rather than cream white as in american buttercream.
Ohh nice! Good to know I will definitely give it a try thanksπ
