This time of year, I can\u2019t help but be inspired by all the beautiful blooms. They make me want to incorporate flowers into all of my cake designs, and there\u2019s no easier way than with this buttercream painted floral technique! All you need is a smooth frosted cake, a beautiful buttercream color scheme, and a few palette knives to get the look.<\/p>\n

Pretty as a painting, right? Only much tastier!<\/p>\n

The best thing about painting flowers with buttercream is that it\u2019s an incredibly forgiving technique, so don\u2019t worry about being an artistic pro for this one (although the results will make you look like one!). The technique is meant to be perfectly imperfect, almost like an impressionist painting, so you don\u2019t have to be too detailed to make those flowers pop. Whatever your cake decorating skill level, this buttercream painted technique will help you create a showstopper!<\/p>\n

What Kind Of Buttercream Is Best For Painting?<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Whether you prefer Swiss Meringue, American, or another type of buttercream, this painted technique will work with any tintable (white) buttercream! My go-to is this vanilla buttercream recipe<\/strong><\/a>, which I find to be the perfect consistency for both frosting the cake and painting on your flowers. If you don\u2019t yet have a go-to buttercream recipe, give it a try with the tutorial below.<\/p>\n
