buttercream design

Hi all,
Need suggestions for buttercream rainbow cake . A cute little girl has asked me to make a rainbow colours cake with butterflies and she only wants buttercream and no fondant. (Except butterfly)
Couldn’t find a relevant design on net . Thinking of making 3 tier ,10” 8”and 6” with 7 colours hydrangea buttercream flowers starting violet from bottom to red top and butterflies on a vertical row going up . Still not satisfied with my vision of it .

Any suggestion will be of great help . Maybe Paul can give us few more buttercream tutorials 🙁

Thanks

Neha

Hello neha28

There’s loads of inspiration in google images for ‘little girls rainbow cake’,
Paul has a rainbow tutorial here http://www.cakeflix.com/online-cake-decorating-courses/noahs-ark-cake
It can be done in buttercream designe instead of fondant and perhaps incorporated into a design of your choice.

Thanks MIWL ,
I love Noah’s arc cake ,However I am afraid that cake won’t be as stable as fondant one since I will be using buttercream.

Will try to take some reference from the link you suggested

Thanks

Never mind Neha, I wasn’t suggesting using the entire tutorial just taking some of the elements from it.There are so many to choose from, don’t forget to look in google images and use the key words ‘little girls’. There are so many elements which could be included with the rainbow, like a magic unicorn, fairies, crock of gold, magic wand etc. Have fun with it.
