Finally sharing my post from an event hosted by earlier this month! They put on the cutest event, filled with so many beautiful and delicious cakes and shared with great company!! 🫶 I can't wait until they do another!!
💘 Fun fact: This cake was made using the exact same bowl of buttercream! I wanted to show just how dark you can get buttercream without adding any extra color :) The only difference between the pink and coral shades is that I used my immersion blender to deepen the color. Yayy for immersion blenders!!
I go between the microwave method and immersion blender method to get those deeper colors depending on the quantity of buttercream, but the immersion blender method has to be my favorite!!
You can also see how I got the coolest two tone effect on the sides by doing the final pass with a warmed scraper! Its so pretty! I love using that technique when I'm going for that look on purpose, but it can be super frustrating when you're not.
If you need to warm the scraper to get final coat of buttercream smooth, it can deepen the color on the sides and create this effect unintentionally. That's another reason I love the immersion blender method with all your buttercream:) You know what the final color will look like, and you don't have to worry about that happening on accident! Warmed scraper or not, it will always stay the color you had it after blending!
The more you know 😉🌸
I hope you all had a great Sunday!! 🫶
