Buttercream Terrarium
Ok...I like buttercream and I like how cool terrariums look...so why not make an edible buttercream terrarium?? I wish I had a few angula/geometric glass terrariums, but I could only get my hands on globes. Maybe next time, but I still think the globes came out just darling!
Here are my tips on how to make a buttercream terrarium:
1. Break up some chocolate cake to make edible dirt. 2. Spoon it into a glass globe. 3. Add some edible moss (from the tutorial I posted last week) to the dirt. 4. Start arranging your buttercream succulents inside the globe. 5. Continue to arrange a variety of the succulents in different shapes and colors.
Now you have a fully edible and delicious buttercream terrarium. Enjoy!!
Continuing arranging....
There you have it! Here are a few closeup and beauty shots of the little terrariums!
Edible Moss Tutorial
Tutorial time: In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to make edible moss. It's quick, easy and only requires a few things! It's so colorful and creates great visual impact when adding to your desserts.
Tools and ingredients: Graham crackers, ziploc bag, rolling pin, green and yellow petal dusts and a small container.
Step 1: Place the graham crackers in the ziploc bag, seal and crush the crackers by firmly rolling the pin over the bag. You can crush it as finely as you want, but I like to keep some larger pieces in my moss to give it some texture.
Step 2: Place crumbs in a small container and add in some green and yellow petal dust. (You can also do this in the ziploc bag if you want.) I like mixing in more than one color so there is variety in the crumbs.
Step 3: Thoroughly combine the crumbs and dusts together until everything is coated and colored.
Voila! There you have edible moss in just three easy steps! Try mixing this with crushed chocolate cake crumbs to give it the effect of edible dirt or roll a ball of cake in the moss to make it look like a moss covered rock. There are many uses for this. I'd love to see your projects so post pictures on your Twitter, FB or Instagram using #ediblemoss or tag @eatcakebemerry.

Cake Classes in Qatar!
This past weekend I had the lovely opportunity to travel all the way to Doha, Qatar and teach cake classes! It was my first international class and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was hosted by The Baking Studio and taught two days of the floral buttercream cake and one day of the hammered metal cake with wafer paper flowers. The students were amazingly talented and creative as you can see from the results of their cakes! I had my youngest students ever, 12 and 15 year old sisters, and they were so great. Cake is really for all ages and I loved seeing how everyone's personal style, color choices and arrangements reflected their unique creativity. Thank you to all the students that attended, it was great meeting you all and you should be very proud of the cakes you created! Also, special thanks to Safinaz and her team at The Baking Studio. Your hospitality was overwhelming and these classes were only possible because of all the preparation and hard work you put in.
