I've been wanting to get into the online tutorials that I see a lot of cake decorators doing...not that I'm this amazing teacher or that I've discovered some amazing new technique...but I've noticed on my Facebook groups that some people have been having trouble with making a GOOD icing / butter-cream that will firm up nicely and is also tasty. I've also had a bunch of people on Facebook ask questions about what is called the "upside-down" icing method and also how to use acrylic discs to get sharp corners on cakes. So...I decided that I would attempt to video me making my old-standby buttercream - it's a "mock-meringue" style butter-cream developed by an awesome decorator/cake artist named Lauren Kitchens who is the owner of a Dallas based cake studio Fancy Cakes by Lauren.
I can't say enough about this icing...I simply love it! I use it for fillings on my cakes and also my cupcakes and for crumb coating my cakes when ganache isn't wanted. So here is a link to the video that I made and posted to YouTube! If you leave a comment please be gentle and remember it's my first video!!
