In these video tutorials, I normally use Bakels Premixes to save on time.
(Bakels is a bakery grade cake premix. Another great one is Allied Mills)

If you prefer to bake from scratch, I do have a range of awesome cake recipes here which convert to cupcake recipes very nicely too.

I use these butter based cakes above because they are sturdy under fondant and stable at room temperature, as are the muds.

AMERICAN BUTTERCREAM RECIPE:

PLEASE NOTE FOR THE BUTTERCREAM- In this particular tutorial, I used a half butter and half shortening ratio. So the recipe then becomes:
250 grams butter
250 grams shortening
900 grams icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 3 tablespoons of milk.
Clink on the link above for a demonstration of how to create this buttercream / the process of making it :)

Thanks guys for watching! If any of you guys tuned in to the Instagram Live session, you are now seeing the finished cake ;) I will definitely have more LIVE sneak peek sessions for upcoming tutorials on both Instagram, Youtube and maybe even through my facebook page once I figure out how to do that haha!

Until next time lovely people :)


With love,
Rosie
