A neat little petal cake with a surprise center! I used my Hybrid American buttercream recipe for the frosting in this cake, and a Popping Stand by Surprise Cake for the cool little surprise at the end. I was sponsored to create a video on a different platform, however I am sharing a snippet here as well because I honestly think it's a cool contraption that you guys might like to see. For the full tutorial on how to make and assemble this, see the top comments :) The Surprise Cake | Rosie's Dess

Little 5 petal buttercream blossom. I love filler flowers in my cupcake bouquets. I know they are more time consuming but adding a few in really does make the bouquet pretty. If you attach parchment/grease proof paper to the nail first, it’s easy to remove the flower. You can then pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes and then you can add it to your cupcake or cake. Alternatively use a round tip like a BCS 12 to pipe a small circle first and pipe the flower onto that. Then use your flower scissors

Part two of the No Cake Tools challenge! In this video, I show you guys how to make your own piping bags with baking paper and how to create a diagonal buttercream "petal" pattern on your cakes. This show you how fill your cakes using a knife and how to smooth your crumbcoat out with a small ruler. Honestly, cake decorating in your own home couldn't be easier :) Enjoy! | Rosie's Dessert Spot
