Thanks so much for your reply – I now have the offset spatula and a turn table on order! I’m hoping it is simple enough to do! Would you happen to know whether I should use just ordinary buttercream or a buttercream mixed with a bit of royal icing to make it set harder? I’m also conscious of the fact that the cake will be sitting out for some hours on the wedding day and whether the outter layer of buttercream would make it messy for guests! I’ve only ever made cakes finished in sugarpaste before. The tutorial link is very helpful thankyou.
