To celebrate the Fourth of July with style,
you can make this Patriotic Ruffled Bunting Cake.
It's the cake version of red, white & blue bunting!

The ruffles are made with buttercream frosting...no fondant here!
I happen to be a cake decorator who despises fondant.
I'm an anomaly, I know!
Let me introduce you to my new favorite decorating tip...
the 050 frill border tip. It makes buttercream ruffles so easy!
You can get one here and here.
You hold this tip with the long slit on the bottom.
I put my cake on my rotating cake stand (best invention EVER!)
and piped with one hand while turning the cake with my other hand.

Helpful Hints:
- I used 6 inch pans to make this cake. If you use 9 inch pans, I recommend making three rows of each color ruffle instead of two.
- To color my frosting, I used Americolor "Super Red" gel paste, Wilton "Royal Blue" icing color and Wilton "White-White" icing color.
- The topper is a cherry sour candy.
Happy Independence Day!

This ruffle technique is just perfect for bunting -- whether patriotic or any theme!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cake! I had no idea there was a white icing color. I wonder how that works?
ReplyDeleteMy basic buttercream is off-white because of the butter. The white-white color is a liquid (looks like Wite-Out correction fluid!) that lightens up any color frosting, so it makes the buttercream whiter.
DeleteThis Cake is so pretty!
ReplyDeletePerfect for all Patriotic Holidays! =)
