Hello, have you tried the steaming technique with whipped ganache? :)

[@cshort092685]

No I haven’t! Sounds interesting!

[@chururuchan]

@@cshort092685 I only worked with ganache. Haven't tried buttercream coz climate here is too hot 😅

[@erenmsd7338]

So pretty!

[@XxTokioJunkiexX]

Hey, did you use 2 or 3 inch high cake pans for this?

[@cshort092685]

I used 2 inch pans. 😊

[@tashatasha8465]

What chocolate and Carmel sauce did you use for the drips?

[@cshort092685]

I used chocolate ganache drip (1:1 semi-sweet choc. to hvy whipping crm) and homemade salted caramel sauce.

[@marinaliaguedes2481]

Hi, found you today, its so pretty, was your cake in freezer before the buttercream? Thanks xx

[@cshort092685]

Yes! I like to freeze the cake layers a little before stacking. Then I do a crumb coat and back in the freezer. Then I do a final coat of buttercream and back in the freezer for 20-30 min before I use a hot scrapper to make it extra smooth. 😊 hope this helps!

[@rashmikodibagkar7324]

Can you make a video of your cocoa butter cream recipe and also the drip chocolate ganache? The cake truly looks amazing.❤️

[@cshort092685]

@rashmi yes! I will be making new videos soon. I know haven’t made any in a very long time. I’ll add these to my list.

[@mixedopinionssquad]

Hi is that a specific type of buttercream? Like is it a Hennessy buttercream or plain buttercream? It looks absolutely 😍 beautiful. Oh and that's caramel drip right? I know i asked a lot of questions lol 🤗❤

[@cshort092685]

Hi! Thank you! It starts out as my vanilla buttercream. Then I added a small amount of cocoa powder and Hennessy simple syrup. I’m sorry I don’t have exact measurements. I kinda just did by taste.

[@jdubya7852]

@Christina Lewis Looks amazing! Where did you get your silicone brush you used for the simple syrup?

[@cshort092685]

Thank you so much! Walmart! I love these better than the kind with bristles. Less chance of the “hair” falling out. I also use a squeeze bottle sometimes. Depends on the type of cake. Hope this helps!

[@dee4844mz]

Beautiful

[@sdenson16]

make sure to remove the protective film from the front and back of your acrylic cake topper.

[@cshort092685]

Yes! I did do that after the fact. Thank you though!

[@nikabradford198]

How did you make your butter cream and did you add henessey to the cake mix?

[@cshort092685]

I used my normal vanilla buttercream recipe (there is a video for it) added a tiny bit of cocoa powder for color and added straight Hennessy little by little. You don’t want to overpower it. I did not add Hennessy for the cake batter but I did make a simple syrup with Hennessy in it to drizzle on the cake layers. Hope this helps!

[@lenysalejandra1]

Preciosa!

[@maryj.3329]

Where did you get those little shot things, like a straw??? It's filled with Hennessey??

[@cshort092685]

I ordered them Amazon. Yes ma’am, they are.

[@cshort092685]

If you do a search of “cupcake pipettes” you’ll see a whole bunch different ones to choose 😊

What is the size of your cakes?

[@cshort092685]

These were 6 inch cakes

[@ritaawotu7354]

Is it butter icing or whip cream

[@cshort092685]

It is buttercream.

[@remyred2719]

What were you brushing on the cake? Water?

[@cshort092685]

Simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar) with a little Hennessy added. I let the alcohol cook out so it’s just the flavor left.

[@ladym0201]

So you heat up the Hennessey first before adding to the syrup? If so for how long?

[@alisonjohnson774]

What size hennesy bottles are those

[@cshort092685]

I believe they are 50ml. It’s the mini bottles

This was a light cocoa buttercream with a splash of Hennessy in it so it doesn’t over power it.

What are doing with the steam that I see.?

[@cshort092685]

To help smooth out the buttercream, I boil water and dip my scraper into the water, wipe it off and scrape on a very chilled cake. I like to put the cake in the freezer for like 30 min. Hope this helps!
