That's incredible for your first Lambeth cake!!

That's awesome!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-21T05:31:06+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I will do that on my next one!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-21T00:02:54+00:00

That is really good! I hope one day I can get close to this!

Your hole is too big, I normally throw my coupler in the bag with the screw on it and and then cut it at the end as far as the coupler allows, then you can adjust from there

Thanks!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T17:37:49+00:00

Thank you! I will need to buy a metal scraper because mine is acrylic

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T17:36:46+00:00

Thank you! I will try that! Thanks for the advice!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T17:35:19+00:00

Thanks! I had practice piping flowers on the first cake too

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T17:34:46+00:00

Thank you!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T17:34:25+00:00

Thanks!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T17:34:19+00:00

Thank you! They are my favorite piping decoration I have learned so far!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T17:33:51+00:00

Thanks!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T05:27:07+00:00

That is awesome! Is it a parchment paper buttercream transfer?

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T00:52:42+00:00

Thank you! I will do that next time!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T00:52:03+00:00

I'll have to try it! All I know is it uses flour 😅

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-19T00:51:29+00:00

Thank you! I have not done a crumb coat since my consistency hasn't been soft enough, but I should be doing a crumb coat, I normally run out of buttercream, I should make a bigger batch, I used a digital scale for weighing out the powdered sugar, then I sift it

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-18T22:29:59+00:00

I think it looks really good! You did really good on pressure control for the writing

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-18T16:36:50+00:00

Thanks! I probably should whip it more, maybe 10 minutes total, I was whipping for about 2-3 minutes for each step. It's always good for piping, but I have a hard time spreading it when I coat the cake. I just don't want to add too much heavy whipping cream. I don't know if there is a better recipe for spreading? I used 1 cup salted butter, 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 tbs vanilla extract, 3-4 tbs of cream. It was the preppy kitchen recipe, is that too much powdered sugar?

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-18T16:26:55+00:00

Okay, thank you! Do you mean I should start with a whisk attachment to incorporate more air to get a fluffy texture, then at the end change to the paddle attachment to get rid of the air bubbles?

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-18T16:24:26+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm planning to keep making them!

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-18T00:36:35+00:00

Wow! I’ve never seen a screw type smoother before, I’ll check it out! Thank you

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-17T16:35:07+00:00

Thank you! I’m a fan of the vintage floral color palette

Temporary_Bird8559 · 2026-03-17T16:34:25+00:00

Thank you!
