Do any of you have any tips or can point me in the right direction to a good palette knife tutorial? There are so many quick 30 second “here’s a flower” vids but none that really break it down. The one I did see had no audio and I need someone to hold my hand and talk me through it. I used Swiss meringue buttercream and when I go to make a petal the buttercream would never be as stable as in the videos, even right out the freezer for a quick cool down! So the flowers did not turn out like I pictured in my head, but I just went with it. Would this technique work better with a different frosting? American buttercream? (🤮)
It took me four days and every step was a whoooole learning experience but I DID IT and it can only get better from here!

I have no advice, but it’s beautiful!
I have no advice but your cake is amazing for a first attempt!! I love the colors and it looks delicious!! 👏👍
Lovely colors and well done! Not sure if this is helpful but saw this video from Butter&Blossoms : https://youtu.be/VGPLsN8hhUY?si=7c72pNXSHjrzNr9E
I hate those reels and TikTok videos, they’re useless. There are many GOOD videos on YouTube and various bakers websites for palette knife tutorials.
You did a great job here! I made a palette knife cake for myself a couple of years ago and I know that it is much harder than those reels make it look.
Looks amazing
Looks sooo good! What flavour is it?
Really beautiful
You did a fantastic job. I’m doing my first one today for my mom‘s birthday and a picture of perfection in my mind but I know it will not turn out like I plan. I’ve been practicing for a few days with my piping tips and coloring.
I’ve been practicing with this method for my different colors. I would’ve never thought of this. Yours looks fantastic. Great job.
