Thanks for this. I had the crazy idea of making a succulent terrarium cake for my mom as my first cake ever. You were much more thorough than other videos I saw with the coloring and pipes and this was overall a really helpful video. I’m feeling a little more confident after watching your video.

[@bettywood966]

Thank you so much for the fantastic tutorial. ❤️

[@allysaw]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!! ☺️

[@CreatePleasure]

Thank you!!! They are gorgeous and I'm going to try it. I got a wilton 2 tip for the spikes. Now I am kicking myself, could have just used a sandwich bag.

[@allysaw]

CreatePleasure thank you!! No worries, a Wilton 2 is perfect for piping words, beads, and small details. I’m sure you’ll still find it useful! ☺️

[@rowangrotjan1729]

The pink and green petals are Begonias, the blue would be a chalk stick succulent, the wider cacti are barrel cacti, and the taller are Myrtillocactus cochal (blueberry cactus). The rose type succulents are echevaria. Hope that helps!

[@allysaw]

Sonya*but call me octopie* ahh that helps so much!! Thank you for spreading your succulent knowledge ☺️❤️

[@Jumvlbunny]

Hey Ally! That was a great video. I know a little bit about plants so I'll help you with some names! :-) I'm not 100% sure of your intended plant but these are my guesses: pink echeveria, sea urchin cactus, and flapjack succulent. For the aloe vera like plant, you are right! It does remind me more of a blue echeveria though :-) Google the names of the succulents and let me know what you think. Also if you do them on a big cake, a mother of pearls succulent would be an easy one to pipe down the sides too.

[@allysaw]

Thank you! Ahhh you rock, thanks for this knowledge I can now stop calling them 'flower/succulent things' :)

[@izzykrompack6882]

I love the your videos and am excited to see growth in your channels near future!! Wouldnt mind *wink wink please wink* a video on how you update you edit your videos :)))

[@dominicaalberts6162]

Thank you! Is it possible to give a recipe to get that consistency of the icing?

[@allysaw]

Dominica Alberts thanks for watching!! Feel free to check out my Italian meringue buttercream recipe & tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaCvgp-Am9hmgtk :)

[@princessvioletsmagicfactor6236]

My buttercream never comes out stiff enough. Do you have a recipe you wouldn't mind sharing?

[@allysaw]

Yes for sure! I usually make Italian Meringue buttercream (it's my fave), check out my video and recipe here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaCvgp-Am9hmgtk :)

[@andyrigg5218]

Princess Violet's Magic Factory hi , I just put a bit extra confectioners sugar in till you get the consistency that you want

[@cindyboor7876]

do you have the recipe for the frosting? thank you!

[@nobodygr8]

What kind of buttercream did you use?

[@horteccla]

What did you use for the food coloring? Thank you :)

[@allysaw]

I always use Wilton gel food colour, but any gel colour will do :)

[@dukedoll1]

It looks like you have the Wilton 61 and either 102 or 104 for the two you weren’t sure about

[@allysaw]

Oh awesome thank you for this!!! :)

[@vonsweetz92okay64]

Do we cool it in the freezer ???

[@allysaw]

vonsweetz92 Okay Hey thanks for watching! Both the fridge and freezer work well, I chilled mine in the fridge :)

[@vonsweetz92okay64]

Thank you😊

[@elnywidjaja9885]

It seems the icing is too stiff?

[@allysaw]

Elny Widjaja it’s better for the icing to be stiff so it holds its shape! You can always whip it up to bring it to a workable consistency
