How to Make Flowers with Buttercream

Have I mentioned that I hate fondant? I really don’t get it. You see a wedding cake with fondant and you know that whoever made that cake spent hours and hours on beautiful decoration with the fondant, there are flowers and little figures and you can only imagine how many hours it must have taken to prepare them. But what happens next, you see that all the guests happily reach for a piece and quickly get rid of the fondant because it is so ultra sweet. Nobody wants to eat it. I find that extremely sad. I will always say that flavor is so much more important than looks. But this does not mean that a flavorful cake needs to look boring! That’s why today I am going to introduce to you how to make flowers with buttercream. Below you will find lots of helpful tips and tricks and also a video for you to practice making different flowers with buttercream.

Molten Lava Cake: Feeling Cozy (with Video)

Can I confess something? I am a chocoholic and for that reason have an entire only chocolate category on this blog. I really don’t care, be it summer or winter, I will happily eat chocolate. Except for white chocolate. I don’t know why, but we simply don’t get along. But offer me any of its siblings and I am in. Be it milk chocolate or chocolate with 85% cocoa, I will eat it. I would say that my consumption of chocolate isn’t lower in summer, rather, it is higher in fall and winter. You can easily find me with something chocolaty in my hand while snuggling under a blanket. Chocolate is soulfood!
