And I also love that there is no right or wrong!   The sculpted buttercream florals is definitely a work in progress for me - it’s bringing me so much enjoyment learning though!

Marjorie Rego on Instagram: "Buttercream painting is one of my favourite ways to decorate. I love the rustic simplicity ❤️. Here are some tips for success:  ❤️ Allow your cake to set in the fridge for around 20 minutes or more before you start painting.   ❤️ Start with your darkest colour first. Use a flexi scraper to smooth out the buttercream.  ❤️ Add small amounts of a lighter coloured buttercream on top and smooth it out with your palette knife.  ❤️ Use a clean paintbrush to create a feathered effect and lightly blend the two colours.  ❤️ Finally, add the lightest coloured buttercream in a similar way to finish your design.   The most important thing is to have fun and choose an abstract design, so you really can't go wrong!

The key is to start with a cold cake! Cold buttercream is firm enough to paint on without messing up the surface. Chill your buttercream frosted cake for at least one hour to make sure the frosting is completely firm. If the buttercream starts to soften as you paint, take a break and put it back in the…

Judith Fronda | Lamella Cake on Instagram: "What colour would you like to see next? Was this a good use of your acrylic paint @gaffreyartmaterial ? But kidding aside, this is swiss meringue buttercream and 100% edible. I know some acrylic paints look mouthwatering, unfortunately we’re still not allowed to eat it. Just reminding you in case you forget. 😆 Lamella cake in ruby red. #cake #cakedecorating #paletteknifecake #cakedesign #birthdaycake" Red Colour Cake Design, Buttercream Cake Decorating, Red Cake, Meringue Buttercream, Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Swiss Meringue, Cake Decorating Techniques, Buttercream Cake, Cream Cake
