I was wondering how you made this buttercream I've never made my own and planning on making my own for my daughters birthday. can you tell me where i'd get gumpaste?

[nivia91]

I used swiss meringue buttercream. There is a video in youtube showing how to make. For the gumpaste, I make my own, I buy fondant and add tylo powder. There is another video online as well showing you how to add the tylo to your fondant, go to aine2.

I usually buy my fondant online, from cakestuff, they are in the uk. Hope this helps :o)

I love swiss meringue butter cream! All this cake decorating is no good for my waste line - so hard to drop the weight off after my second pregnancy since I started cake decorating! Your cupcakes are really cute!

[nivia91]

Yes, the weight is the worst part of cake decorating. It is always more difficult to lose weight after giving birth, I just dont know why. I am not as thin as before having my daughter :(

There is a video on my channel showing how to make the butterflies' wings. They are made out of gumpaste.

Which recipe have you got? I have a recipe for cupcakes on my channel. Do you use a cupcake tin or just the cases when you bake them?

[nivia91]

Oh! I have never heard of that type of buttercream before but I will try it. :)

You could make German butter cream with the egg yolks - it's not very sweet at all! I love swiss meringue butter cream also!

Well done with the fondant!
