This sounds delicious!! I owned a bakery for 10 years, creating wedding and all occasion cakes. Everything was 100% from scratch. I love that this is exactly what you do, too, and this one looks incredible!

[@TheSweetSpotwithKirkBlouin]

WOW thank you! You just made my day.

[@itsmybiz43]

This cake continues to inspire me--I recently learned about your channel approx. 5 months ago. If you don't mind, would you please share how you mastered your piping skills. AMAZING!!! To share, just like the previous commenter, I wanted to make this cake for my birthday, too! It is so great to see that you not too long ago posted another video! Much continued success to you.

[@lisabozzarelli7516]

I made this for my birthday (I wasn’t letting anybody pay for a bakery cake. More $$ for gifts). It was fantastic. I used Swiss buttercream and no decoration (I lack talent). Thank you, you helped make my birthday special.

[@TheSweetSpotwithKirkBlouin]

Sounds great!

I love that lime green mixer. I never seen one of those. And do you use all purpos3 flour?

[@TheSweetSpotwithKirkBlouin]

Yes the mixer is called apple green, I believe it was a limited color. Yes, I use all purpose flour.

[@alenamccall1877]

[@sarahs7253]

So have you made this as a tiered wedding cake.

[@TheSweetSpotwithKirkBlouin]

Yes, it came out amazing, I have pic on my IG: thesweetapotwith_kb

[@pettizoubouchard4967]

Can you substitute cake flour to almond flour? If yes, will the cake look the same?

[@TheSweetSpotwithKirkBlouin]

Thank you for the question. Almond flour is more dense than cake flour. You can sub 1/4 of the cake flour, yet replacing it all will make the cake heavy.

[@sarahs7253]

So is the flavourful of this with the heavy cream supposed to .imic the flavor of Italian buttercream?

[@TheSweetSpotwithKirkBlouin]

It adds a creamer texture and not as sweet

[@lauratrahan3020]

I don’t like frosting smooth or piped. I like it swirled and messy. Lol
