Topic tags/keywords: advice question tip how-to

I have a request for this cake for an upcoming wedding ~ only she insists it be a buttercream cake. 4 tiers. 4 tiers and petals I can handle, but petals on buttercream…. makes me nervous!! Would you do it? Do you think it will hold up??

It will be fine on a crusting buttercream. Let it set for a few hours. I would add wire to the petals back end and allow to dry, Will make it easier and cleaner look when inserting. GL

I use italian meringue buttercream for almost all my cakes and you should see some of the stuff I stick to the sides, LOL. Go for it, just make sure the petals are rolled thin so they will be lighter in weight. ;) Good luck!
