How To Make a Palette Knife Flower Cake - Tutorial

Learn along with me in this knife painting series. I’m teaching myself this technique and know there are other cake decorators wanting to do the same. In the first part of the video I demonstrate how I form the petals and leaves for this particular cake, with an added, more sculptural technique thrown in. The 2nd part shows me decorating one face of the actual cake. Please subscribe to my channel and I will continue this series. Thank you 😊

Here I use simple American Buttercream using twice as much powdered sugar, by weight, as butter. For example, I use 500g of soft (not melted) butter to 1kg of powdered sugar. I add a splash of water or cream...just a couple of tablespoons, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. I mix on low speed for at least 10 minutes .

Thank you so much for sharing the video. What other medium can I use aside from buttercream?

[@RustyFrench1234]

Hi Marlene. Where I’m from, we don’t have a lot of commercially produced alternatives but if I wanted to use something other that the usual types of buttercream, I would probably use white chocolate ganache.

[@naleniamarnath292]

Thank you so much for your video. The cake looks beautiful. Should buttercream cake be frozen before doing this please? Thank you

[@RustyFrench1234]

Thank you Naleni. I used a crusting American buttercream that had been in the refrigerator, not freezer.

Hey, can we do butter cream painting with Swiss meringue? Also wanted to know, just butter and sugar is enough to make a butter cream?

I haven’t but I’m pretty sure it would work, it just won’t crust. My buttercream is just butter and icing sugar (powdered confectioners; sugar) ☺️

I haven’t tried it but I think it would be fine if the buttercream is thick enough to hold its shape. ☺️

[@lorigoedken8149]

My petals won't stand. Is my buttercream too soft? What is the nest type of buttercream to use?

[@RustyFrench1234]

It probably is! I used American Buttercream, 1 part butter to 2 parts powdered sugar (by weight, not volume). A tablespoon or 2 of cream or milk or water, 1 tsp. vanilla. I hope that helps.
