I love when a simple tool completely changes the look of a cake. 💜
For this Barney cake, I used a textured cake comb to add those clean horizontal lines around the buttercream. The trick is making sure you have enough buttercream on the cake, keeping your comb steady, and letting the turntable do most of the work.
I usually go around a few times, filling in any little gaps as I go, until I get the texture exactly how I want it.
And I LOVE using textured combs on character cakes because the texture gives the buttercream a little extra detail without competing with all of the toppers.
Then once we added the yellow borders, sprinkles, and all of our Barney characters… look how CUTE it came together! 💜💚💛
Sometimes it’s the simplest techniques that give a cake that finished look.
Until next time… Be Sweet! 🧁✨
