🥀 Just my humble opinion, but red roses are the prettiest when lit by stormy skies . . . . . #redroses #rosecupcakes #buttercreamflowers #buttercreambotanicals #rose #dahlia #flowercupcakes #buttercream #flowerstagram #floralcake

Heart-shaped cakes without the need for a heart-shaped cake pan💘 ⬇️ More Helpful tips ⬇️ •For cakes with buttercream or firm fillings, assemble your cake as usual, chill, then cut. •For cakes with softer fillings like whipped cream or fruit curd, cut your cakes beforehand, then assemble. •Use a long, serrated knife for the cleanest cut. •Give your assembled heart cake a good crumb coat and time to chill in the fridge before icing. Sculpting cake tends to create extra crumbs so don’t skip this step! The crumb coat will contain all those loose crumbs and prevent them from reaching the surface. Ask me any further questions in the comments💘 . . . . . . #buttercreambotanicals #buttercreamflowers #flowercake #heartcake #peonies #poppies #daisies #butterflies #flowers #coquette #caketrends #caketutorial #buttercreamcake

Red velvet buttercream 🥀💋 She’s moody on the outside to match the inside and sweeter than she’ll ever admit. Love you @jay.jcn 💋💋💋 . . . . . . #buttercreamcake #heartcake #redvelvet #moody #lambeth #vintage #retro #frills #caketrends #buttercream #heart #valentinecake

Vintage frills + wafer paper mushrooms 🍄 I had been dying to make wafer paper mushrooms for well over a year before I finally got this chance to do so. Shout out to the brilliant @charrajf for sharing her method! I turned these into toadstool mushrooms by painting the tops with red @colour.mill oil-based color and lightly sprinkling some tiny white nonpareils on top. Thank you for letting me play with this design, Arcel!♥️ . . . . . . #buttercreamcake #lambeth #vintage #retro #cottagecore #mushroom #frills #ruffles #buttercream #waferpaper

Snowy Magnolia, Peonies + Pinecones 🌲🌲🌲 I piped these pine boughs with a grass tip, lingering a little more on the pressure as I pull away to achieve longer strands. Staggering the placement helps to define the texture, but do be sure to keep your piping tips clean as you go. Wipe away any accumulated buttercream from your piping tips to keep your work looking clean. Messy piping tips equal messy flowers! I also coated some chocolate crisp pearls in a little bit of gold dust because YUM. Any excuse to bring out those addicting chocolate crispy pearls . . . #buttercreambotanicals #buttercreamflowers #magnolia #peonies #pinecones #pine #snow #gilded #winter #winterflowers #yule #winterwonderland #cakedecor #flowercakes
