The first technique I used is the ruffle for the icing. I used a white buttercream and a Wilton petal tip (no. 104)
You may remember I made this ruffle cake for my Mum for her birthday last year. It was so easy and the outcome looks really great.
For the inner layers, I cheated and used a sponge packet mix. Inspired by some ombre cakes I'd seen on Pinterest, I made a pink ombre sponge. The making of it was pretty much exactly the same as the rainbow cake, but easier because you only use one colour. The picture of the cake cut open was not great, so here I am with the cake - the proud baker!
The birthday girl liked it too!
And just for laughs, I had to share this hilarious photo! What is that face?!
Tomorrow would normally be my Needle & Thread Interview weekly post, but I've decided to rest it for a little while. For the last couple of weeks I've felt like a bit of a slave to the computer...do you get like that too?
Have a great weekend!
