I am so privileged when cake instructors take classes with me! Teaching a teacher is nervewrecking but it's also so much fun because they understand the nature of the classes and have a special appreciation for it. Moreover, this student came all the way from Argentina! Check out her beautiful cake!
Check out my class tab to enroll for a private buttercream flower cake class. I have a variety of topics, lengths and skill levels available!
Today's video shows how I pipe my buttercream English Rose. I have a couple variations on how to pipe this flower but this is my favorite center. As you can see it is not that difficult to pipe, but the visual of this flower is beautiful. Give it a try!
Hey all! I recently got an order that requires lots of gumpaste ranunculus so I took a moment to film how I made one of them. All you need is a small styrofoam ball and an oval cutter. I rolled out green and white gumpaste to the thinnest setting on my pasta roller so the petals can be delicate. I cut out a bunch of ovals. Some of them I cut in half to make the first few layers of petals and then the outside layers I used the entire oval as the petals. It is a simple flower to make, doesn't require any wires and doesn't take that long either. Try you hands at a few because these flowers look so sweet on top of a cake!
Today I posted a new buttercream piping video on YouTube. This one shows how I pipe a buttercream ranunculus using a #104 tip. It's quite easy and fun so give it a try! Keep in the loop with future videos by subscribing to my YouTube channel or signing up for our mailing list on the home page!

Just released is the new issue of Matthew Robbins Sweet Paul Weddings magazine! The pages are filled with beautiful inspiration and also some very special cake features by Ron Ben Isreal, Nine Cakes, Lael Cakes, Baked, A White Cake and....moi! This was my first time taking a photo with one of my cakes so it was a fun experience and I'm so happy to promote buttercream flower cakes!
Our newest cake is made of grey marbled buttercream and topped with buttercream blackberries and pink flowers. Don't let the blackberries trick you, they are indeed piped with buttercream!
I don't have a green thumb so my form of gardening is with delicious buttercream flowers. My tummy doesn't mind at all :)
