Mom, I made this strawberry vanilla cake for you. Because you love roses so much. I made this for Mother’s Day. The vanilla cake layers are a moist and sturdy base, which is then filled with a strawberry filling. This time I decided not to make my beloved sponge cake, but instead tried a new recipe. Yes, the filling does contain butter, but it also has a large part of strawberries and also cream cheese. I feel it tastes lighter than any buttercream. This cake is perfect for Mother’s Day, but obviously it can also serve as the base for any wedding cake. You can see in this video how I make the roses.
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.
