Decorating

(Click a link to show how to make easy quick butter cream frosting).. 

Layer your cakes with barleys or ( alcohol of your choosing ) and your butter cream Frosting in-between. each of your cakes. I choose red for my butter cream frosting,

now your cake is layered cave around the cake, to make sure it's all flush. Then start with your crumb coat. I did three coats around the cake, pooping it in the fridge in-between each coat. ( the beauty about this part is, it doesn't have to be perfect as you will be cover it with with your piping. YAY!!


Now you're happy with that, let's get to the pipping shell we.

I did not put any alcohol in my frosting for the flowers (I know shocker).. But! i did add a thin layer off alcohol Jam on top before I then went on to add the flowers. 







Tips, Tricks & Tiaras . (A helpful guide) 

Practices your piping skills on some paper first. I always do this, just to get back into the swings of things. 

if you aren't sure about  pipping straight lines: Take a ruler and lightly mark a straight line going down the cake..
