Made this for my mom’s birthday. It was my second attempt at decorating a cake (first attempt at piping flowers and first attempt at an ombre design). I was in a rush at the end and had to pipe a bunch of the purple filler “flowers” to get it done in time. My ombre technique definitely needs some work as well.
I was thrilled with how it looked all things considered but it didn’t taste as great as I’d like. If you have a favorite white cake recipe or a favorite buttercream recipe that isn’t too sweet (and isn’t as complicated as a swiss meringue, please share)! 🙏

It’s so pretty! Love the colors. You did a great job.😍
Damn! Looks amazing and professional!!!
That is just beautiful. Great work
Incredible!
Pretty! This year for my daughter’s birthday I used box cake. I followed box direction except (I didn’t really follow them) I swapped oil for butter, milk for water and I added an extra egg, about half a cup of sour cream, vanilla extract and a box of vanilla instant pudding. For her chocolate cake I did the same but did cold brew coffee instead of vanilla and chocolate pudding. It was the best cake I’ve ever made. I got so many compliments on it.
I made swiss meringue this year. I made Ermine frosting last year. Both seem complicated but I like them so much, I do think they are worth the added complexity. I will note that about every other batch doesn’t turn out quite right but I’ve still been able to decorate with it.
I’m so obsessed 😍
Whoa she’s gorgeous!!!
Lovely!
That’s not an attempt that is ADORABLE
This is SO pretty! The colors and the flowers are stunning! Amazing work💕
Try mock Swiss meringue buttercream. Your cake looks amazing.
So pretty! 🎂
