Upgrading a grocery store cake

I’ve recorded for your viewing pleasure a lapse video of decorating a grocery store cake, specifically two vanilla buttercream iced cakes (5″ and 8″). I turned it into a two tier cake with sugar flowers!

How did I do it???

The cakes were frozen, so I took a bowl of boiling hot water, dipped my offset spatula into it, wiped off the water, and slowly scraped off all the colorful icing until I was left with the base coating of white buttercream.

Then I stacked the cake, inserted the sugar flowers, and voila!

Thanks for reading my blog! I started Sugar Flowers by Kelsie Cakes after working in the cake industry for a decade. I saw cake artists wanting high-quality Sugar Flowers for their cakes, but without the time to create them. That's when I hung up my oven mitts to create botanically inspired, delicate-but-durable Sugar Flowers for passionate cake artists and flower lovers of all kinds. I hope you find my blogs + resources helpful! If you ever have any questions, i"m just an email away! And don't forget, I'm here to bring your artistic vision to life.

Thank you!
