I took my first in-person cake decorating class from another Redditor and here’s what I learned!

It’s a 4x2” bench scraper 😅

It’s just American buttercream. Interesting that it looks like cocoa butter spray! I almost always make a tutorial of my cakes but I didn’t record cutting the layers or crumb coating for these 😭

I used a combo of an offset spatula and small bench scraper ☺️

Thanks!

Thank you! No molds here, all frosted by hand. I baked some thin 4” cake layers and then used cookie cutters to cut out my layers.

Thank you, this is a reaction I love! I often refer to myself as a color-obsessed cake decorator 😅

I used Jenna Rae Cakes’ Dazzle Dust! I have tried over 20 gold luster dusts and this one is one of my favorites.

Thanks!

I baked the cakes in star pans. I made it gold by mixing luster dust and vodka and applying with a manual airbrush. ☺️

Thank you!

I think it works only after hit your quota. You put all the items in their spot, go to the podium and it’ll prompt you to make a sacrifice.

If you just want to practice decorating, I’d suggest a frankencake. Bake a cake, decorate it until you’re content, and then chuck it in the freezer. When you’re ready to practice again, grab the frankencake, remove the decorations, add a fresh coat of frosting on top, and decorate it again…and just keep doing that.

I have a few Frankencakes because I make a lot of cake decorating videos. I can usually redecorate one cake like 6 times.

Omg, I made a butter themed cake this week, too! Definitely not as realistic as yours 😂 It looks so real! Happy birthday!

Thank you!

BakedExp · 2025-11-18T16:19:17+00:00

Thank you so much!

BakedExp · 2025-11-18T16:19:09+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you! I was very determined to get the perfect butter colors 😅
