How much do you chill the cake before decorating? do you want it frozen? And what size piping bags do you use? Whenever I try to load the bags using the cup or jar truck they never sit in there right or leave me room to put the frosting in. Also is there a trick to make store bought Betty Crocker frosting more fluffy like homemade butter cream so decorating doesn't droop? I do not have a stand mixer to make my own fluffy buttercream.

@natalydominguez4104 3 years ago

Hi there! Lovely video. What kind of frosting did you use? Could I use swiss buttercream and stable white buttercream for the same cake?

What song is this??

Hii this is so beautiful, but I was wondering about the difficulty. Do you think this level of decorating is fit for people with more experience, or could beginners try doing this style of decorating. Thanks!
