Sometimes the prettiest things in life are simple. These cakes are simply buttercream but I think they both are incredibly charming.
This first cake has the standard ruffle technique that is all the “rage” these days and I left the top completely blank. The customer added fresh flowers to the cake at the party.
This second cake was a surprise cake for a friend and I had been wanting to play around with buttercream ruffles. I did this version of vertical ruffles with a petal tip.
I can imagine how breathtaking a dessert table would be full of buttercream ruffle cakes of various designs and sizes….next project perhaps! 







What beautiful cakes…we love ruffles and have never made a ruffle cake. Must try it soon! Do you use American butter cream or Italian or Swiss meringue butter cream or something else?
Thank you, Lets Do Cake! I use a swiss meringue buttercream for my cakes but do on occasion mix American buttercream with it for a sweeter flavor. These ruffles are completely Swiss Meringue though. I LOVE ruffles too! You have to try them and then we can chat about how incredibly lovely they are to make!
Cake is beautiful. What tip did you use to make the ruffles?
Thank you, Susan! I did this one with a petal tip.
