Swiss meringue buttercream strawberry ombré cake using Martha Stewart’s recipe. Honestly, it did not taste too good. I also added toasted coconut flakes.

I have only decorated cakes for about a year through a college class, and this is my first time getting back into cake decorating after years away. It wasn’t easy, and at one point the buttercream got too firm.

Any tips/hacks for cake decorating?

    That cake looks like tremendous effort was put in.

    Cake decorating tips? Don’t ask me to decorate it for you, it would be a nightmare.
