What You Need:
- A Cake
- A Piping Bag or a Ziplock-type Bag with the corner cut off
- Buttercream Frosting Varying in Colour
- Icing Smoother which you can find here
- A Cake Topper (optional)
Step 1: Put Some Spots/Stripes on The Cake in Your Desired Colour-Range
The first step is to add some spots and/or stripes of the first colour of buttercream icing that you desire onto your already crumb-coated or fully-coated wedding cake.
Step 2: Take The Icing Smoother and Turn The Cake To Smoothen and “Swipe” The Spots/Stripes
Use your Icing Smoother to turn the cake in order to smoothen the spots/stripes that you added to the cake in Step 1.
PS. You can use your microwave’s turntable as a turntable if you do not have one, it won’t be as smooth, but it’ll work.
Step 3: Repeat Step 1 & Step 2
If you would like more than one colour icing on your cake, you can repeat Step 1 & Step 2 listed above.
Step 4: Add a Cake Topper (optional)
If you are going to use a cake topper, you can add it to your amazing wedding cake now.
