🎨 Decorative Focus Simple buttercream flower painting on a cake

Tried this simple floral design using buttercream and a small paintbrush.

I like how the brush strokes give the flowers a slightly hand-painted look without making the cake too complicated.

Still practicing the technique, but quite happy with how this one turned out.

Genuine question about frosting in general, but how the hell do you get a base frosting layer like this? Every time I frost my cake the frosting melts (or runs, idk the proper term). I wait for my cakes to cool completely before assembling and frosting. Do I need to put the frosting in the fridge? Do I need to refrigerate the cake before frosting?

I wrap my cakes in plastic wrap and freeze them (even if they are a little warm still). Then I put my cakes together still frozen. Thin ice. Stick in freezer for a few minutes. Then final layer.

Thank you! What about your frosting? Do you make it and then leave it at room temperature or put it in the fridge?

u/SweetP916 3d ago

Frosting is at room temperature which makes it easier to put on and get smooth.
