Buttercream Cherry Blossom Cake







My cousin Lynne requested a multi-layered vanilla birthday cake her birthday party. She wanted three layers - a turquoise, pink and vanilla layer with white icing and flowers. I requested to have the flowers "pink" to represent cherry blossoms. 

It was a lot of fun to experiment with piping buttercream flowers. I used a #104 Wilton tip and pink icing. 


Dirty Icing the Layered Cake

I took out my frozen cake layers that I baked last week and just started icing (see my tutorial on how to ice a multi-layer cake) using a cake spatula, and bench scraper to smooth out the lyers
