This is a beautiful cake by hockeymom that I saw in the gallery. I want to do a pink buttercream oval on a white buttercream cake (similar to her yellow one, only smaller).

I tried to pm her, but she probably hasn't been online and hasn't answered me. Just wondering if anyone knows how I can do this? Think I would have to do a BCT of the oval or is there an easier way?

Thanks.

You could just use an oval pan or cutout to make an outline and just frost inside it. You could use a flat or round tip and smooth it if you did not want to do it with a spatula alone. Very pretty cake!!!!!

I'm thinking bct but you could probably make it from colorflow, too.

I did mine here by spreading the icing on parchment and freezing it. After icing with the green, I put it in place on the cake and piped the border. It was pretty smooth but I helped it along a bit of rubbing with a viva towel.

Those are two absolutely gorgeous cakes!

I'm dying to know how hockeymom made her lettering.

I recently did a cake where the center was an oval and a different color then the rest of the top of the cake. I cut a pattern in the shape of the oval. I covered the pattern in clear contact paper. I placed this pattern in the center of the cake and pressed down slightly. I then frosted the top of the cake in the normal fashion but tried to make it as thin as as could on top of the oval pattern. Once I completed the frosting on the top, I removed the pattern. I then placed frosting of a different color into the area where the pattern had been. I used the small spatula for this. Once this was complete, I let it sit for about 20 minutes and then smoothed the top with a viva towel. It was just that simple. Where the two colors meet, I piped a border type design. I had wanted to do this for some time but I just wasn't sure how it would turn out. I was pleasantly surprised at well it all blended in. Hope this helps...
