Hello hope everyone is great! I have a quick question , I'm making this cake but I'm not sure what those flowers are made out of , does anyone know ? They look buttercream to me . Also the bouquet on top how is it made? Is it a bunch of frosting and frozen buttercream flowers on top??
I agree, the flowers are buttercream, but not necessarily frozen. They could be setting on a mound of frosting or there could be a small half round layer of cake underneath. Either would elevate the flowers. Since I would not be able to pipe these flower in a million years, I would make them from gum paste and go for the same look.
Looks like buttercream flowers to me. I agree that there is probably a mound of frosting to elevate the flowers. I love to make buttercream flowers. Anyone can pipe buttercream flowers if they practice. They are easier to make than you think.
You can pipe the flowers out of a good crusting buttercream and allow them to air dry a few days...while they remain soft inside, the outside will dry enough for you to places them as you like....just pipe a big mound of buttercream then place them where you want them.
@remnant3333 , I cannot pipe flowers...well, I can pipe a pile of frosting, lol, but only a very generous soul would call them flowers. I don't think I've ever mastered the proper consistency for piping, plus I have very arthritic hands which hate that piping bag. Fortunately, I can make decent gum paste flowers so I can fake it. I do so admire and love beautiful buttercream work, even more than royal.
Agreed, @kakeladi . Someone is just very accomplished with a piping bag. Bet you could do this!
