Rough Finish Buttercream Wedding

expand all pictures

This is my very first ‘Rough Finish’ buttercream cake. SO nerve-wracking! All these months practicing smooth buttercream (we can’t buy Viva towels in Australia) and the lovely bride requested a rough finish. I kept finding myself getting the first side perfectly rough then smoothing the other side!! Haha! So frustrating. The Bride and guests loved it and I was quietly pleased with how it turned out. Thanks so much for looking :)

Hey Raewyn,
We don’t get Viva towels in Singapore either. I use a square of baking paper or baking parchment. It works as well.

I’ve never used ganache… So much to learn!

Ah I love ganache! I highly recommend watching Michelle Rea’s youtube videos on her Inpired by Michelle page :)
