Gumpaste sugar flowers on a buttercream cake, for Derra & Brent…
Congratulations Derra & Brent!
(This gorgeous black and white themed wedding was held at the Ranche Restaurant. Gumpaste sugar flowers on the cake were inspired by the gorgeous flower arrangements from Creative Edge Flowers. And to see some pictures of the cake cut up, check out the awesome slideshow from We-Connect Wedding Planning.)
Awesome job! I love how smooth your buttercream and fondant cakes come out! Of course all the decorations are great!
I was wondering if you used american buttercream to get the smooth finish on the cake? Did you use a certain high ratio shortening? I have been looking for a good brand and good tasting but still searching in Hamilton Ontario.
Lovely work!
Hi Holly,
Thank you for your question! I like to use Swiss meringue buttercream, made with real butter. The smooth finish was created using a palette knife and bench scraper.
Hope that helps!
