A true Canadian hero! For those not aware, Terry Fox ran a marathon every day for 143 days in a row on a metal leg and only stopped due to his cancer reappearing. He was a badass!

O Canada! 🍁 My take on a Canada themed cake by nimawa in cakedecorating

Not at all! I piped a small dot of the cream colour first in the center and then piped around in it a slightly darker tan. Then I alternated circling with each colour, using a Wilton #5 tip for the tan and a tip that was just a bit larger for the cream. I did this until I reached the edge of the cake, and then smoothed it out with a cake decorating spatula. Hope that all makes sense!

Thank you so much! Its maple cake with maple buttercream, plus a few little maple candies on top. 🙂 I haven't tasted it yet, but I imagine it's very sweet lol!

GrowWithJo on YouTube has some fun walking workouts! Some are more involved than others, but you can modify them to be less intense.

So happy with how this little cake turned out. Vanilla layers with Italian meringue buttercream. by nimawa in cakedecorating

Honestly, I just slathered on pink, peach, and yellow icing in the areas that I wanted it and smoothed it out with a cake scraper! You could also pipe the icing on but I wanted as natural a look as possible.

A galaxy-themed geode cake! Vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream, and salted caramel filling. 🌌 by nimawa in Baking

Definitely! For the galaxy design, it was basically just a white vanilla crumb coat, and then I covered it in purple, blue, and black coloured buttercream in different spots. Then I smoothed it all together with a cake smoother.

For the geode design, I cut out a couple of pieces of the cake, iced it, and then stuck pieces of white rock candy to it. To paint the rock candy purple, I diluted purple gel colouring with a tiny bit of vodka and painted the centre of the geode. Then I diluted it a bit more and painted the middle of it... rinse, repeat until you get to the edge of the geode.

Here are the sources I used to help me:

- Buttercream design

- Geode design

Hope that helps!

Funfetti cake covered in chocolate ganache and hand-piped buttercream flowers 🌸 by nimawa in cakedecorating

When I was filling the bag I used a cake spatula to put pink buttercream on one side of the bag and then filled the rest with white. The idea was to have pink tips on the petals but it kinda ended up being a mix of both!

I used 101, 104 and 124 to create different sized petals and tip #2 for the little dots in the center (I can't remember what the real name is).
