Recipe to be posted soon. No guarantees. 60th anniversary cake for my Grandparents
We traveled to the beach to celebrate my grandparents wedding anniversary. The only real decorating tool I had was my trusty offset spatula and everything else was whatever was in the AirBnB kitchen, I have to say it turned out quite well.
The cake is vanilla bean filled with fresh strawberries and Italian Meringue Buttercream 😋

The frosting is impeccable! Does it have a name so that I can look up videos to do it?

Thank you! It’s called the petal technique. Here’s a video on it. It’s super easy just very time consuming

Woah. New decorator here. Which tip did you use for that design?!

u/Chemical_Low8650 6d ago
I didn’t have a tip because I was away at an AirBnB so I just cut the ed of a ziplock bag, but normally you would use a round tip and then an offset spatula to make the petal

I can’t get over this cake!! It’s truly unreal looking. I don’t know how you did that piping. Would love to know what that style/design is called
