Buttercream flower cakes #4: Buttercream succulents

I tried something new two days into 2016. I was asked to make buttercream succulents, and even if I still wanted to have a vacation from caking (I was caking non-stop all throughout the holidays), I jumped at the opportunity to try it out. I am never one to back down from a challenge, so I grabbed the chance to make buttercream succulent cake and cupcakes. I checked out Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes’ 100 Buttercream flowers book and watched CakeStyle’s tutorial on YouTube. Without really practicing my hand, I proceeded to make this set. I checked out lots of succulent photos on Google to get the color scheme right.
